[Queue] Queue to Next or Last

[StiffBoard]

Present two options on rightclick, Queue Last and Queue Next. Very easy to implement, and useful. 

The way I been using spotty lately is to keep adding to Play Queue, it has gotten really long and sometimes I want to listen to something right now, then I have to add to queue and then move the songs all the way up to the top.

Mediamonkey have had this implemented since long ago. Mediamonkey is btw the best musicorganizer I've ever owned or tried.

It's been over 10 years and spotify still neglects this 💀

Just chipping in so hopefully some mods can see this again. Add a "Play Next" button, please. I wouldn't be surprised if you are losing subscribers to your competitors because of this. I've even considered switching and would have if it weren't such a hassle.

What makes this all the more frustrating is Spotify used to have this feature and they took it away. Please bring it back!

I have been using Spotify for 3 years now and the only drawback is the frustrating queue feature and it seems to be a fairly common source of frustration for other people. Here are examples of other posts on this issue https://www.reddit.com/r/spotify/comments/6xwieb/spotify_pls_add_an_add_playlist_to_queue_button/ https://www.reddit.com/r/spotify/comments/94dijp/why_is_there_no_play_next_button_to_add_something/ https://www.reddit.com/r/spotify/comments/c8yzl6/anybody_else_thats_irritated_by_the_lack_of_play/
I think Spotify screws it's users in 2 of the worst ways on this matter.
First is terminology. A queue by definition, grows by adding things to the end of it. So Add to queue should actually add a song to the end of the cureent queue of songs to be played. However, if you are listening to a playlist, and you add a song to the queue, it should actually play last i.e. at the end of the current queue of songs but it adds it to the top. By the way, adding t0 the bottom should be the expected behaviour as your playlist becomes a queue once you start to play it. This is why you can rearrange songs in the queue without affecting the playlist itself--it becomes a temporary queue structure.
Second is inconsistency. It seems there is a set of people who prefer to add multiple songs on the fly to the queue. But 2 things happen which are just... wrong. When you are playing from a playlist, and you add a song to the queue, it adds it at the top as I've mentioned but then it starts behaving like a proper queue again. So subsequent songs are now placed behind the previously added songs.
This 2 problems lead to cognitive difficulty for users because they have to redefine what a queue means to add one song to the queue and suddenly have to readjust when adding multiple songs to the queue.
This is unacceptable from a reputable tech company like Spotify. Solution. Make Add to queue do what exactly it means to do: add to the end of the current queue. All the time. Then, add a play next feature for add songs to the top of a queue (like a stack of plates). The cognitive load is less stressful. Apple music has this feature already (with helpful icons I might add). Speaking of Apple music, I am also a user and I rememeber suggesting a feature to allow adding whole playlists and albums to the end of the queue (called Play Later) and it was done fairly quickly afterwards. I don't understand why Spotify has not worked on this feedback for years now.

Yep. I literally just switched back to Apple Music last week because of this. I have other frustrations with Spotify's app (why is it so annoying to display a list of all the songs in my library??), but the lack of Play Next is the straw that broke the camel's back.

I don't even know why this needs a discussion.  All the other streaming services have 'Add to Queue' and 'Play Next'.  They're clearly different things, and it works great having both.  Spotify is being deliberately obtuse, instead of just implementing a simple and very useful feature.

Unbelievable that after 10 years this is still missing!

(And now the premium fee is increased...)

[user-removed]

It actually absurd that they can't see the EVERY other service has a "play next/play last" option which solves this much more cleanly. Threads on this have been going on for so long but they stubbornly won't do it or give some BS about user feedback said they don't want it.

You clearly don't understand the problem. Please engage with one of us so we can explain it to you.

And all they have to do is look at one of the other Music apps that have ALWAYS done this, why are they so stupid on this feature. Actually not even feature more like basic functionality.
