To improve the functionality of our music player and enrich the user experience, we propose adding a queue system. This feature will allow users to queue up songs for continuous playback, enhancing their ability to enjoy uninterrupted music listening sessions on the platform. This is essential for supporting the newly introduced playlist feature and for users who wish to line up multiple songs without creating a playlist.
Expected Behavior
Users can add songs to a play queue directly from song listings, search results, or playlists.
The music player displays the current queue, allowing users to view upcoming songs, remove tracks, or change the play order.
Integration with the playlist feature, enabling users to play entire playlists and manage the queue simultaneously.
Users can save the current queue as a playlist for future listening.
Actual Behavior
The current music player is limited to playing one song at a time, without the ability to add additional songs to a queue for continuous playback.
Steps to Implement
Player Enhancement: Redesign the music player interface to include queue management functionalities, such as displaying the queue, reordering tracks, and removing items from the queue.
Backend Support: Develop the necessary backend infrastructure to handle queue operations and ensure seamless playback of queued songs.
Playlist Integration: Ensure that playlists and individual song selections can be easily added to the play queue.
User Testing: Engage with users to test the new queue system, collecting feedback to identify and address any issues before widespread release.
Deployment: Roll out the enhanced music player with queue functionality to all users, highlighting the new feature through platform announcements and guides.
Additional Context
Adding a queue system is a critical enhancement for our music player, aligning with standard music listening practices and expectations. It complements the playlist feature and offers users more flexibility in curating their listening experience.
