This feature appears to be completely nuked in the latest desktop version (I'm on OSX).     Typically, my usage pattern is to queue up a bunch of music and forget about it.  When I double click a song, it will stuff the Play Queue with a bunch of stuff I don't want to listen to.  Before, I had the option to swap out the Play Queue with songs from another playlist using the "Choose as current playlist" feature (so when the stuff I queue up is done playing, it will switch over to the playlist).  I also use this feature to indicate that I don't want any songs to play after the things I've queued up (by choosing an empty playlist as the "current playlist").   Without this functionality, the Play Queue is stuck there.  Yes, I can doubleclick a new song somewhere else, but that will interrupt the song that is currently playing.  In general we need a better way to manage the music that autoplays after the queued songs. ...

I have seen it has been some discussion around the Queue function. I have a suggestion to improve this function as I like the concept but would have loved it if it was implemented a bit better:   What about implementing the queue as a temporary playlist at the top of the list of playlist, named by some predefined text and date (ex "Queue 04.09.13"). The temporary list should be generated as soon a track was marked with the Queue-function.    By this you should be able to "mess around" with the tracks added to the queue, reorder, delete and whatever. When exiting the application you should be presented the question  to rename and save it. If no, just delete it. If yes (or a platform doesn't give this opportunity), save the playlist. If a playlist seems not that interesting the following day, you just have to delete it.   The Queue function should also preferably be highlighted as a button in the track list to be even more accessible.   I have seen Spotify been used in numerous parties, with some people adding to queue music that could kill any party and therefore should be removed by someone with better taste. The suggested functionality should avoid some of this, and it could be funny to have a look at what kind of annoying music you provided your neighbors on your homeparty the last night 😉   Thanks for a great service.  ...

Hey guys, simple solution for lots of people i hope re. queues.   When you hover over an artist, album or playlist on the desktop version (cant recall apps) it has the single 'play' option.    It would be helpful to have a similar button for queuing - as i expect this is a popular feature.      The queuing works great for me, but is a bit hidden in the menu for my attempts of day to day quick use i find i often end up accidently clicking play on an album i fancy listening to next, but then that overwrites the album i was just listening to from the queue (as this was soft queued by me clicking play on the first album ).             ...

Ok, maybe this is going to result me being told I'm using it wrong but I think it's about time the queue system was fixed as currently it's rather, well, stupid. I'm going to go through a little use case here to explain why.   Being the man of fine taste that I am, I decide to throw on Bear vs Shark's "Terrorhawk" album, I do this by navigating to the album page and double clicking the first track:     Great stuff, after a few tracks I'm well into post-hardcore mood so I decide to have a browse through one of my big playlists and find a classic. Of course I want to finish the current album first so logic dictates this is where queuing comes in useful, so I right click and queue:     This is where things take a turn for the stupid though, because one was just double clicked and the second explictly queued I end up with this:     Annoying, but surely I can just drag the tracks back to where they should be in the playlist? Well sort of, if you do they act like "queued" items but the originals stay where they are meaning I have my first album, the second album, then all of those tracks from the first album again!   The solution? When it comes to queuing, regardless of how they end up there, all items should be treated the same. If I start an album with a double click the items it creates in the queue should be the same as when I right click and queue. I should be able to manage them the same, and they should not be lower priority than items I right click and explicitly queue.   ... View more

I have a lot of long playlists that I like to listen to on random. However, playing a playlist on random adds the songs to the queue in a non-editable manner. There are times when I would like to move a song, like when it is a two part song, and times when I would just like to delete a song from the queue but not necessarily the playlist.   The two main solutions in my mind would be 1) making the non-manually-queued queue items moveable 2) being able to manually queue a selection in a random order ...

****************************************************************************************** I found a way to do what I was requesting, a different way. Please delete this idea! ******************************************************************************************   (I am aware that a "Clear Play Queue" idea exists, but it's from 2012 and the queue system has changed since then. This is a different idea.) I love the queueing system, but sometimes I over-extend it and queue ~3 albums and don't finish. Next time I turn on my desktop client, I am in a different mood, but the queue is still running. I would absolutely love it if there were a button that automatically deletes all the queued songs, instead of having to click+Del on >20 songs.   Thanks for an awesome product!       ... View more

I'm new to Spotify -- trying the 30 day free trial. I currently use Rhapsody but I thought I'd give Spotify a try.   My problem is that I like to listen to different artists as a 'mix' throughout the day. This is how you can easily do it in Rhapsody: Search an artist You get a 'Top Tracks' list Hit play - it's added to the 'Mixer' (their version of 'Queue') Search another artist Click the little arrow and you have an option: Add to Mixer I can add more artists to the mixer the same way I AM NOT ADDING ALBUMS -- I'M ADDING THE TOP/POPULAR SONGS Now I hit shuffle and we're good for the day And THERE'S A CLEAR MIXER BUTTON!!! You try and do that in Spotify: Search an artist You get a 'Popular' list Hit play - the list is added to the 'Queue' Search another artist If you hit play, the second artist's list deletes the first list in the queue There's no way for me to 'add it to the queue' and since only the top 10 songs show up, you can choose all, right-click and choose queue, but only the top 10 are added -- I want to add the entire list! The only work around I found was to: Search an artist Click play to play the 'Popular' list Go to 'Play Queue' Select all Right click and select Add To > Starred Search another artist Repeat steps 2-5 When you're ready, choose 'Starred' and you can choose shuffle What's also strange and maybe I'm missing something, you can't click the PLAY button to play songs in the Starred area -- you have to hit the three little buttons and choose 'play'.   So, have I missed something? You can't add more than one popular list to the queue without deleted the previous list Deleting songs is very difficult - select all, double lick a song and a bunch dissapear THERE'S NO CLEAR QUEUE button The PLAY button in the Starred section doesn't seem to work If I am missing something, I'd really appreciate some insight.   Thank you so much--have a great day! ...

Hello, My number one most hated "feature" of spotify is that I cannot usually create a finite playlist on the fly. I want to be able to create a queue of music and have playback stop at the end of the queue rather than continue playing related songs. This is in effect a sleep feature. I like the fact that you auto populate my queue sometimes, but I want the option not not have that happen or to remove the auto-populated songs. ... View more
