Add a Temporary Song Queue Feature

Is there an existing issue for this?

Pain

Currently, users cannot manage a dynamic queue within the music player. This means that if they want to listen to songs in a specific order, they have to do it manually one by one, which interrupts the user experience.

Suggested solution

Implement a dynamic song queue feature that allows users to add songs to a playback queue while listening to music. The queue should be:

• Editable: Users can add, remove, and reorder songs in the queue.
• Persistent: The queue should persist even if the user pauses the playback or closes the app.
• Interactive: When a user selects a new song, it should be added to the current queue without interrupting the existing list.

User Flow:

• The user selects a song to play → The song is added to the queue and starts playing.
• The user adds more songs from albums, playlists, or search results → These songs are added to the end of the queue.
• The playback queue is visible in a dedicated section of the player and can be managed by the user:

1. Reorder songs using drag-and-drop.
2. Remove songs from the queue.
3. Clear the entire queue.

Right now if I play a song from a playlist, all the songs in that playlist comes to the queue that is fine but should bring the option to again add to queue even if that song is already in the queue and those song we take using add to queue option should be given the priority ( they should come on top of the queue).

You’re right. Currently, when a user plays a song from a playlist, the entire playlist is automatically added to the queue. However, the app lacks a "temporary queue" feature, similar to what Spotify offers, where users can manually add songs to a dynamic queue that takes priority over the default playlist queue.

The goal of my suggestion is to implement exactly that:

• A dynamic queue that users can modify in real time.
• Users would be able to add songs manually to this queue, even if they're already part of the current playlist.
• These manually added songs would take priority and play before the rest of the playlist queue.

Exactly you had done the briefing in the right way. If those changes are made,the queue feature become complete.
