[Playlists] Working play queue would be a nice feature

Hi, Here is an idea: Can You make the play queue actually be a play queue ? After last update (26.7.2015) its not possible to add tunes to queue anymore.Wasnt working well before the update...but it still was possible to add songs. Sorting didnt work, but could atleat add and play. Seems that every update there is Spotify has been functioning worse, and now cannot even play the songs You want.Nice going. So, second idea is: Test your updates before forcing it on users. regardsPete

Updated: 2015-07-27Hello there!
Since the PlayQueue works normally on my end, this seems more like a bug than an idea.
Could you please open a new topic in the respective help section with more information on the problem such as: Spotify version, what you did, what you were expecting, what really happened. That way we can check it out and forward it to the right team. Thanks! ;)

Play Queue Broken

Since the last Spotify update, the play queue has become far worse, which has revealed to me even more problems with it. 1) Why can't you delete songs from the play queue? If I play an artist, what's the chances I'd want to listen to 100% of their songs, remixes, and live stuff? 2) Why can't you clear a play queue? Seriously, even playing a different album doesn't clear the queue - it'll play one song and then revert back to the original queue. So it's a 100% useless program now. 3) Why does the shuffle play the same 10 songs over and over and over (sometimes playing the same song several times in a row) when an artist has hundreds to choose from? Trying to resolve my play queue issues I realised I'd never even heard half the songs from a band I'd been listening to non-stop for 3 days. I'm going to be cancelling my membership. Spotify is totally useless in its current form.

Hello there and welcome to the community,
On new version :
1 - When you start, let's say a playlist, the Play queue is separated in 2 sections : Current Track - Next Tracks (ready to play in the order shown)
2 - If you want listen in priority another song from the next songs than the one ready : click right on the title and select : Add to queue
3 - Now the play queue will show 3 sections : Current Track - Queued Tracks - Next Tracks (all the tracks in the section Queued tracks will have priority to play)
4 - At anytime you can add a song in the section Queued Tracks from anywhere else (another, playlist, an album..) just with a right click on title and Add to queue.
5 - At anytime you can remove a song or a block of song from the section Queued Tracks (right click and Remove from queue)
Note : You can't remove a song from the section Next Songs (your original choice).
If you start to play another playlist. The queued songs will keep in queue. But the songs in section Next Songs will be replaced by the new playlist as long as you don't Add to queue other songs.

Add the "play next" feature. (Adding chosen lists of songs to any playlist already playing)

Hello, I'm new to spotify and didn't find any duplicates for this idea. Sorry if I'm wrong. Even though I'm new to Spotify, I've used several streaming services already (grooveshark, google play, winamp, etc.) And they all shared a very dear feature to me which I'll call "Play Next" in lack of a better name. The feature is pretty basic and useful: Choosing the song which will play next, before whichever song that was meant to play. There you are, listening to your randomized playlist and you just want to hear a song, or a few songs (either from the playlist itself or not), but you don't necessarily want to stop your playlist from playing. Being new to spotify, I don't know what to do in this situation, I have to click the song and then re-randomize the songs again? Anyhow, I believe it would be a nice addition to the service if you could manipulate the list's order while playing. Then we would be able to listen to any songs we like whenever we like and keep listening to the random songs afterwards. Sorry for any bad english.

Hey there and welcome to the community!
Have you tried to 'Queue' a song? On desktop just right-click a song you want to listen to and choose 'Queue'. Then it will play after the current song. Once that song has been played, your playlist will continue normally. You can access the Play Queue when clicking on the bottom right 3 vertical lines icon.
Was that what you're looking for? ;)

[Guide] How To Clear the Play Queue

QuestionHow do I clear the play queue?
AnswerPlease note this is an unofficial workaround and not an official solution.
1 - Click New Playlist.
2 - Add only one song to the Playlist.
3 - Whenever you want to clear the Play Queue double click it.
Once Play Queue is flushed, only the short song you used will be in the Queue. The reason is that the last song played in the Queue always stays until something new is loaded into it other than manually added material.

The MarkupBean uses its own broadcaster (MarkupBroadcaster).
The setBroadcast(boolean b) is available only in the VueEventBroadcaster.
We may work on better solution to fix the issue.
Probably the issue is not related to the number of notifications!. Try this workaround to confirm...!
Workaround (I do not recommend to do this):
- Save the current markup broadcaster : oldBroadcaster = getMarkupBean().getMarkupBroadcaster()'
- Set an empty broadcaster (getMarkupBean().setMarkupBroadcaster(new MarkupBroadcaster())). All the listeners are copied into the new broadcaster
- getMarkupBean().getMarkupBroadcaster().removeAllMarkupEventListeners(); // Remove the copied listeners
- Put back the old broadcaster (markup listeners).

More than 50 songs/tracks in play queue

Hi guys and gals. Is there anyway to increase the play queue so that it shows more than 50 tracks in it? I have several large playlists which house 200+ songs in them. I often want to (and used to be able to) add them all to my play queue and then sort them out into the order I wish them to play in as this isn't possible anywhere else. (is it?) I am aware that YES it does queue up more than 50 tracks when I add them but it's pointless if I can't move the track that's 143rd in the queue next to the song that's 32nd in the queue as I quite simply can't see it. I could use random/shuffle but that's not what I want either. I want to be able to play 200 tracks in the EXACT order that I want. However with this stupid 'see only 50' rule they have implimented I just can't do it! A little context to this, I work in an office and I'm the office music source. I'd hardly quailify as a DJ but I like to queue up the day's music in advance and then get on with my work and quite often I'm out the office. With this 50 rule I quite simply can't do this anymore it's very frustrating. Failing that is there anyway to 'downgrade' and go back to a previous version of spotify? You know, one that is actually good? ;) Many thanks!

Yes you can down grade, although you will need to search a third party file share site for a older app, this is not suggested to be done. You run these apps at your own risk as they are no longer supported, as there is always a risk someone might have altered it maliciously. You can search on the boards here also about downgrading the Spotify app to an older app, and also stopping the auto update feature. I am running the older 0.9.5 as my main spotify app which still has features not removed by the newer one, and I am also running the newer 1.0.8.59 app in sand boxie so things do not get crossed up, I run both apps at the same time. The search can be your friend here, good luck.

Play queue cannot be changed or cleared

Earlier this week I played some music. I chose some music from friends in my feed and added it to the play queue. Now, when I start playing a new album or playlist, only one song of that album or playlist plays. After that, the desktop player starts playing the play queue of two days ago. Selecting songs in the play queue and clicking delete does not have any effect. Regardless of what new album I select to play, the old songs stay in the play queue. When using the web player, all works fine and as expected.

Hello:
Which version of windows are you currently running that this is happening on with the Spotify desktop app?
Also you might try and do a clean uninstall and reinstall this usually fixes most issues. After uninstalling Spotify and removing all associated folders left behind, you can go and download the offline full installer and do a clean reinstall from this url: http://download.spotify.com/SpotifyFullSetup.exe

WMP Playlists Work with Sle

My iri'ver died after .25 years, and my son's Vision:M died after 3 months, so I'm not sure why I'm considering Zen again (or any other MP3 player, maybe I should just wait for Zune), other than this product is relati'vely affordable (assuming a longer-than-3-month life). Anyhoo, I'm a big playlist user, and I've read some reports that playlists aren't available in Sleek, which would make it a non-starter for me.
Questions:
. Do playlists work in Sleek?
2. Is it EASY to transfer playlists from WMP to Sleek?
I do not want to install/use the Creative Zen software if I don't have to. My experience with my son's unit was terrible, and I've read other reports bashing the software. We transferred directly from WMP for his unit, but he didn't care about playlists, so I don't know if they worked with his unit.
Any help is appreciated.
BTW, I have read the long thread on playlists with Zen Micro http://forums.americas.creative.com/creativelabs/board/message?board.id=dap&message.id=4399&view=by_date_ ascending&page=), but am not sure how relevent it is to Zen Sleek.
Thanks,
Chris

ResaJo,
Thanks very much, that was nice to read particularly considering that one hour ago I ordered the Zen Sleek from Amazon!
I want to understand what you are saying. After I've synced a playlist to the Zen, then I should NOT check it the next time I sync?
This is different from iri'ver. By default, all playlists previously synced were checked the next time you synced, and if you unchecked one, it deleted it from the player. You had to effecti'vely re-sync the entire unit every time you synced (though step was WMP listing all the files that were already on the unit - not recopying them - and step 2 was identifying songs on the playlist that were not already on the iri'ver and copying them to the iri'ver). This process took 0+ minutes even to add just one song. Quite frustrating!

Problems in the play queue management that have been around forever without having been addressed

Hey all,
It's been a while since I last contributed here. Think my last post was around 2011 or so - right around the time when the Spotify team announced they are going to be concentrating on polishing the basic functionalities of the player. It's been around 3 or so years and I still find myself cursing the badly neglected play queue management on a more or less daily basis. This makes me a sad panda.
As I wrote 3+ years ago, I don't know about anyone else but at least to me the play queue management is like the 3rd most basic functionality in a music player - right after being able to find music in the first place and then being able to actually play it too.
I just spent mere 15 minutes and came up with this list of issues that are still present in the player:
Play queue is treated differently depending on whether you choose to "play" some tracks or if you "queue" them. In the former case you can delete the tracks from the play queue, in the latter case you can not.
If you "queue" up tracks in spotify, the shuffle setting has no effect (okay, this might be intentional, or it might not be, I don't know).
If you first choose to "play" some tracks and then you "queue" up additional music, the queued tracks are not placed at the end of the current play queue but, rather, immediately after the currently playing song. Sure, this might also be intentional but, to me, it seems counter-intuitive and just plain wrong.
You can change the order of the "queued" tracks - but only within the confines of the "queued" tracks i.e. if you first choose to "play" tracks and then you "queue" up additional tracks, you can not move a "queued" track to be played in the middle of the tracks you chose to "play".
As a continuation to the previous point, you CAN, however, make a track you chose to "play" to be played in the middle of the "queued" tracks but, instead of just changing the track's position in the play queue, it is duplicated, or triplicated, or quadruplicated (is that a word?) instead i.e. you get to hear that track in the middle of the "queued" tracks... and then again as part of the tracks you chose to "play". Additionally, once you do that, the duplicated tracks becomes "queued" i.e. you can no longer delete it from the play queue.
You can not "queue" tracks by right-clicking on a playlist - the only way to do that is to select the playlist so you can see the tracks in it, then click a track, select all, and then "queue" through a right-click.
Remember folks; it took me all of 15 minutes to come up with all of that.

PS. I know these are not exactly ideas but, since I can't post on the bug board, I didn't know where else to post this.
PPS. I can't seem to be able to add tags to this post by writing in the text field that tells me to separate the tags by a comma.

Here's an explanation of my typical behavior when using Spotify, to try and help explain why I consider these points a major problem:
Quite often, when I launch Spotify, it is to find something new to listen to. To achieve that, I use a number of means, one of which is the absolutely fantastic "Discover" functionality (I love it!). Typically, I listen to some recommended artists/tracks/albums, and when I find an album or artist I like, I click "Play" on top of the track list in the album view and start listening.
Then I continue browsing and discovering and, when I come across something else that I find interesting, I can no longer choose to "play" it because it would completely override the current play queue, the currently playing track included, and start playing the new album I just found. So the only option is to "queue" it.
Now, this is where the problems kick in. Instead of being queued up nicely at the end of the play queue like it should do in my view, this new album is like the neighborhood bully, cutting in line straight to the entrance. If I leave things the way they now are, I'm going to hear the currently playing track... and then the entire new album I just "queued" up... and only after that do I get to hear the rest of the tracks I first chose to "play".
If, at this point, I keep on browsing and discovering and finding more interesting music, I can pretty much only keep on "queueing" them up which means that the rest of the first album just keeps getting pushed back further and further. However, the neighborhood bullies seem to respect one another, so all music added beyond the first "queued" tracks take their place at the end of the queue, like they should.
Sure, I could just "queue" up the first album as well but I really dislike the way the whole "queue" functionality has been implemented - simply because I want to be in full control of my play queue which means that I want to be able to move any track to any position in the play queue regardless of how it was added there and I want to be able to delete any track I choose from the play queue at any time.
Also, I would very much like to be able to just add like a 100 tracks in the play queue, one track or one album at a time and then hit "Shuffle" to have them play in a random order. With a vast majority of the tracks being "queued" up this does not happen.
I hope this helps at least some people see things from my perspective.

My playlists wont play in order on ipod playlist. why?

My playlists wont play on my touch in the same order as they show on the touch playlist scheme.Why? & ive gone onto ituned & clicked on orderofplay!

With iTunes 8.x you have the option to tell iTunes to treat any audio file as an audiobook. Simply select the tracks, *Get Info.*, then on the options tab set *Media kind* to Audiobook. You can also set options to *Remember playback position* and *Skip when shuffling*.
Assuming, however, that the books consist of more than one file you may have problems if you plan to listen to them on an iPod. The Audiobooks feature was originally designed for books that have been stitched up into a single file and hasn't been updated to reflect the changes that make multi-track audiobooks easy to work with in iTunes. There are tools for creating iPod-friendly audiobooks for which Aldo on Audiobooks is probably the best reference. Personally I don't bother with the extra effort and just have an "Audiobooks" playlist folder containing sub-folders for each author and within these playlists for each audiobook. Although I still mark the files as Audiobooks to keep them out of my main music section when it comes to the iPod I ignore its Audiobooks options and use my own playlists for access.

I want to move the location of my iTunes library music files. At present they are all on my time machine . I want to move them all to my imac. Can I do that and keep all my playlists and play counts? Thanks in advance

I want to move the location of my iTunes library music files. At present they are all on my time machine . I want to move them all to my imac. Can I do that and keep all my playlists and play counts? Thanks in advance
its 1000s of songs . Originally I used the time machine as a networked drive but it can cause the songs to pause so I'm thinking it would be better to have the songs on the internal imac drive
how can I move the songs so I can re-open iTunes and the playlists (with plays in the 100s) find the song in the new place?

Do you mean on your Time Machine backup drive? Or are you actually accessing the backup? In either case you shouldn't be doing that. If you haven't space on your HDD to store the iTunes Library, then at least put it on another external drive.
Since you did not provide any information about what's actually "on my time machine," here's what you would do. The entire iTunes folder should be stored in the /Home/Music/ folder. Within that folder you would have three folders: imm Media, iTunes, and iTunes Playlists.

Smart Playlists Stop Playing After Each Track

After updating iTunes to version 10.0.1.22 my smart playlists stop playing after each track. All songs or Podcasts in my smart playlists are checked so they should be playing consecutively but they're not.
Any help would be appreciated.

Make sure the little boxes to the left of the song names are checked. If you need to check all the songs in a single view at once, hold the CTRL key and check any one of the boxes.

DLNA would be a nice feuture for Bulletin Board

A nice feature for the bulletin board would be sharing on a dlna renderer.
windows 7 can send multimedia out of the exporer ("Play to") to a dlna renderer (e.g. TV set).
The bulletin board is missing this option.
I would imagine anything like the dlna sharing on a Tablet S.

Nice thoughts. It will be nice that Toshiba software engineers read this forum. ;)

Play Queue Starting Over After The First 5 Songs

I've been having this issue since using Spotify connect where I'll take a playlist with about 100 songs on it, shuffle it, then after it plays about the first 5 it starts over again at the first one it shuffled. This only ever happens on my andriod device. I noticed that the app does a lot of weird stuff when it's constantly being disconnected and reconnected to wifi whenever the device is in transit from point A to B. I don't get how this is an issue because I'm a Premium member so I have all my usual playlists downloaded for offline use. This is another issue I brought up a few weeks ago regarding more of the app's bizzare behavior when it losses wifi:https://community.spotify.com/t5/Help-Android/Spotify-Lock-Screen-Controls-Disappearing/m-p/1162609This problem hasn't been asnwered yet either.

Okay, here's what I mean about the play queue starting over. Today I pused music using the in-line controls on my earphones, then 2 hours later I plugged them back in and resumed my music with the in-line controls (I never unlocked the screen during this process) and started flipping through tracks using the in-line controls while walking to the bus stop, and after I had flipped through about 7 tracks, the play queue repeated the first track it had resumed playback from. This screen shots shows a duplicate track in the play queue afer it had started over from the last resumed track. Note that I do not have duplicate tracks on this playlist.

New or modified iTune playlists only play one song then stop.

My wife changed the settings on iTunes last night. New, or modified playlists only play current songs then stop. Existing playlists work normally.

Are the songs on the CD from different artists?
If so, then if you are going into MUSIC -> ARTIST -> Christmas CD and hitting PLAY, it will play the songs from THAT ARTIST on THAT CD, probably only one.
What you'd have to do is go on your iPod: MUSIC -> ALBUM -> Christmas CD. By doing this, you'll play every song from that album regardless of artist.

What would be really nice...

okay so we all have our stuff we wish apple would integrate with the iphone and as for this whole month i have owned my iphone i realized something...i travel alot for work and i constantly need updates with time and stuff and one nice thing about the iphone is the worldclock and a weather widget
my only wish though is that it would have been nice if apple just mixed those two at the same time so that if I am flying out from one place to another...instead of going back and forth with the clock and weather...it would be nice to have that one app with the time on that specific place and the weather information as well...
I hope something like that soon

Why would you suggest that to us other users in a technical support forum? That's a waste of your time as well as ours.
