I tried replicating it in portrati mode, but couldn't.
But, trying it again in landscape, I couldn't replicate it either.
To be honest, what might have happened (but I am not completely sure though), after experimenting with some errors with another skin, I perhaps had accidentally turned it on there. And when I switched to your skin, and a song started, I noticed the message 'Auto-DJ has been started' right above the player controls at the same time I was pressing some player controls.
So, perhaps this issue might not have been there to begin with.
I installed the new version of your skin, and will let you know when something awkward happens with that one. But it looks fine right now.
And on a personal note, I would prefer having the repeat/shuffle buttons available. They may be small in my opinion, perhaps below or above other elements (especially in portrait there's plenty room for that)
But I can understand why you removed them, as it seems to be the wish of the OP here.
