It basically behaves like a combobox. And comboboxes on toolbars dont have access keys either.
I'm not sure why the combobox is not used instead. Maybe we can file a separate bug about switching to a combobox. Banshee has some weird non-GNOME UI in several places.

That would work if only if the button was :
- Repeat 
 -- Repeat All
 -- Repeat SIngle
 -- Repeat Off

Which would be making it a menu.

  Remove access key for Repeat button

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: banshee

Banshee provides an access key for the Repeat button, toolbar button, [it's a statusbar with button, so kinda acts like a toolbar button] 
Pressing "Alt" underlines the access keys in the Repeat button. Access keys should *not* be provided for toolbar buttons. 

>From HIG <http://library.gnome.org/devel/hig-book/stable/input-keyboard.html.en#choosing-access-keys> :
"Give all labelled components an access key (underlined letter), with the exception of toolbar controls which would use up too many access key combinations."

It's not a regular menu either, so access is not in a consistent way.

Pressing the "Alt" keys should not highlight the Repeat options in the button.
