My Question or Issue

The "Previous" button does not return to the correct song.

 

Steps to reproduce:

1. Open app. Song "A" is ready to play. Click "Play"

2. Click "Liked Songs", right click song "B" and click "Add to queue"

3. Click "Search", search for song "C", right click song "C" and click "Add to queue"

4. Wait for song "B" to finish playing.

5. When song "C" starts hit "Previous". 

 

Expected outcome:

Player returns to song "B"

 

Actual outcome:
Player returns to song "A"

 

Furthermore, hitting "Next" does not return you to song "C" but to a different song.

Hey @asavageiv!

 

This happens because the songs you manually add to the queue disappear entirely from the queue after they're played. So, in your case song A starts playing, because B and C got removed from the queue as soon as you played the next track.

 

Hope this clears things up. Cheers!

Thanks for the clarification Yordan. Are you saying this is intended behavior and Spotify is not going to change it?
