Sometimes, like when doing schoolwork, I like to play albums, and I want to set a couple or a few albums up to play right after each other.
There are a couple major issues, which coincide. The first part of the issue is that after starting the first song of the first album, I add the next album, but it adds it after the song that I'm currently playing instead of after the last song. I don't shuffle albums, and I certainly don't want to mix albums.
When I want to listen to different albums, one after another, it's randomly picked, based on the mode that I need to be in for that point in time, so I don't want to make playlists of albums.
To clarify, the first part of the issue is the queue feature not adding things in the correct order, the correct order being after everything else that has been added before it. What it's doing now is what YouTube Music calls "Play next". See my idea for that, here.
Another issue with the queue is that it won't let us remove songs from the queue, without them repopulating (when not on repeat). That needs to be fixed. I'm not deleting them for the fun if it. If I've reached the end of the albums (or playlists) that I've put in the queue, I don't want anything in the queue getting in the way of me adding new stuff to it.
The second part of this issue is that I have to hit the play button or the first song, to start an album (or playlist, which this whole thing could also apply to). For setting my listening up in this way, I shouldn't have to press or click the play button or the first song, to start the first album, then hurry up and search for the next album, the add it, THEN move all of the rest of the first album's songs before the second album's songs, THEN do it all over again, if adding more albums. My idea/solutions is this. Make the songs, albums or playlists go after everything that's currently ready to play, and add a feature that allows us to make a pre-play queue or "setlist" that I can play, when I have everything that I want on it, and I'm ready to start it (instead of having to start it, before adding).
