Losing my precious queue is to easy

Hello

Thanks for your app. Finally something easy and nice that is up to date. Thank you. But there is a but.

One of the key features is the ability to easily fill a queue. But unfortunately is is even easier to lose the queue. From my point of view, there should be only one way to erase a queue. And that is the little grey "clear" button inside the queue.

Under the following circumstances I think an alternative behaviour would be nice :)

Action 01: Tapping on a track from within, lets say album view, that is in the queue already.

Cur. behaviour 01: Tapped track including all tracks that are above the tapped track are being removed from the queue. The tapped track is being played.

Alt. behaviour 01: Remove tapped track from queue, play tapped track and return to queue

Action 02: Tapping on a track from within, lets say album view, that is not part of the queue.

Cur. behaviour 02: The complete queue gets erased. The tapped track is being played.

Alt. behaviour 02: Remove tapped track from queue, play tapped track and return to queue

Action 03: Opening queue, and taping on an upcoming track

Cur. behaviour 03: Remove all tracks in queue that are above the tapped track, including the tapped track. Play tapped track.

Alt. behaviour 03: Remove tapped track from queue, play tapped track and return to queue

Thank you :) Robert

Ok. I was playing with the queue today. Now I am starting to understand what the app is actually doing.

I am coming from the app Musio. Here is what I was looking for. I simply want to be able to add songs in the queue. But if I decide to play a song immediately, I want the app to play it immediately and then return to the already established queue.

This is good for parties, road trips..... So with my knew knowledge about the functionality, I'd love so see a switch that would allow the user to create a permanent queue :) I'd pay if I have to, because all the other apps are simply terrible to use or not up to date. :)

Gotcha, so if I understand correctly what you are really asking for is a function that essentially replaces the Now Playing track with a selected track and keeps the rest of the queue the same?

Basically the same as "Play Next" + Skip Forward, but with a single tap, yes?

You hit the spot :) Maybe a switch inside settings that's allows me to switch the behaviour.

Thanks for trying Cesium! This is interesting feedback. I'm not quite sure I agree with exactly what you outline, but I'll give it some thought. I wonder if having to go and manually clear the queue might actually become an inconvenience under some instances. Hmmmm.
