My Question or Issue

I have created a playlist for a family reunion and want to have the songs played from the playlist, when someone adds a song to a manual queue, i want those songs to take priority over the playlist songs and when the manual queue is empty, the playlist starts again from the last song, I will use an ipad/laptop to access spotify and trying to make this auto so I can enjoy family reunion and not play DJ. I am an IT guy, but haven't done development work in years, looking for a template to get me going.

Hey @gibsons4,

This functionality already exists within the Spotify app. You can start the playlist and listen together with Jam, your family can join the Jam and add to the queue which will take priority over the playlist, and this one will continue playing if nothing else gets added to the queue.

Hope this helps, let me know if you have any questions.
