Stop interrupting playback when we open a Spotify link

Community members, if you'd rather have some kind of solution to this than nothing at all, please vote!

 

Problem:

Clicking Spotify links automatically plays the song, even when you are already listening to something else. This disrupts an otherwise seamless listening experience, loses place in a currently playing playlist, and derails listening to another album or playlist.

 

Minimal Solution:

Always add to top of the queue. If nothing is playing, then play next.

 

By taking advantage of already existing queue behavior, this solves the problems identified above, although not in exactly the way that has been requested before.


Power Solution:
Give users a setting to decide how the app handles opened links.


Default Action for Opened Links

 ☑️ Always 🔲 Only When Listening

  • Play Next
  • Add to End of Queue
  • Play Immediately (Current annoying behavior)
  • Add to Playlist 
    • Choose a Default playlist or "Ask Me".

This option gives everyone who has brought up this issue a solution that satisfies what they've requested.

 

This is not a new idea, but has been raised many times over the years, described in different ways that make it look like different issues:

Make the opening shared links not destroy the current queue 

Turn off Autoplay from Link 
Stop auto play when opening a linked song  

Stop songs from starting automatically when opening a link 

Stop links from automatically playing 

Tapping a song does not change the queue 

Shared Song Add to Queue - Check if Playback is On 

Option to Add to Queue or Play When Opening Shared Links 

Link to queue
