[Queue] Queue to Next or Last

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.

Hey there,

 

Thanks for this submission. We had a slight hiccup with moving ideas to different boards, but it's all good now.

 

We're setting the status of this one as "not right now", but that doesn't mean that your votes don't count.

 

Cheers!

I feel like a simple "Play Next" option would be great to add either a single song, an album, or a playlist to the top of the current queue.  I think it'd probably only work for paid subscriptions due to how Spotify works.  Have had many instances where friends want to "interrupt" my queue with a song, and if I want to keep my queue and play their song next I have to add to queue and then drag up from the bottom of the queue to place it at the top.  I believe Sonos integrates this and it's super useful.

It's incomprehensible that a Prominent media player like Spotify, could possible think it's not an essential feature!

Whats the purpose of a "QUEUE" literally, if you add stuff to the middle of it? 

EVERY proper player going back to the year DOT has had this (Winamp!)

It was right next to "add to queue" years ago when I first started using Spotify, so I'm not surprised. Then again, the UI's been overhauled multiple times since then, so who knows if that implementation is even still valid.

 

All I know is it would make using the app much nicer. I really enjoyed being able to quickly and easily both build a queue, and hear what I want "right damn now", without risking messing up my whole queue.

I've voted on multiple duplicates of this feature request over the years, all with many votes in favour. I don't get why a feature that already existed at in the past, that competing services still have, and that people clearly want, shouldn't be higher on the list than "not right now". How many people voted to turn the home screen into Tiktok? Or to make the heart button into a menu-diving adventure?

I often put a few songs in queue to listen to and always find myself adding another and wanting to listen to it as the next song, but then i have to go in the queue and shove it to the first place.

I wish i could maybe enable a setting and have the ability to add a song to the que as next song that will be playing. I know it could be confusing to have two option to add a song to the queue but i often think about this.

Any updates here??? I believe there is some top manager behind the idea of not having "Play next" button and we won't get it until he is fired. It's simply hilarious how stupid is it for some service not to have such a simple button and lose clients because of that.

Almost 3 years since this post and no "Play next" button yet.
I think there are 2 main reasons for implementing this feature:

- You are playing a playlist and want to add a song to play next: if you mistakenly click on the song (very easy on mobile) instead of adding it to the queue, you completely lose the playlist queue.
- To avoid the above you add the complete playlist to the queue, so if you want a song to play next, you have to add it to the queue and then go to the queue and drag it to the top (very hard and slow on mobile).

i dont know why it isnt already a feature but its needed 

 

a way to play a song you just found that you really want to hear play next but you already have a queue of songs set up and its a long queue to have to drag that song all the way to the front of the queue but with the play next/skip to the front button that sits above the add to queue one you can simply click play next and that song will jump to the front of the long queue of all the songs you already have queued up to play next. Its a simple and useful and time saving feature that i reckon many would benefit from

yeh seems very simple - like youtube music. literally just put a play next button. very useful & much needed! in fact i’m thinking of going back to youtube music because of this.

Still not solved, and I would find it hilarious if I weren't paying for it. Just by reading a few comments from the previous pages clearly demonstrates that even those users who are willing to contribute to the forum find the dual queue system (i.e. the auto-generated vs the manual queue) confusing, they mix up the behavior of the different queues even here in the comments. Again, this is not a feature request, it's a huge bug waiting to be fixed.
