18 hours ago Oh come on. Give us a break. Why do you have to write an essay? 😩 (jk) You could at least list out the requests instead of writing all in the same paragraph 😭 (jk++)
Also the "Insert a next track" feature already exists (known as "Play Next" in Spotube) 😉
Is there an existing issue for this?
Pain
This is kind of a duplicate of #626 but that one is closed & it's old. There is functionality that is available on Spotify that is not available in Spotube. You can pick any track, not just a track in your playlist but any track on Spotify, & insert it on the queue. When the current track finishes playing, your inserted track will play next.
Suggested solution
In #626 you suggest dragging & dropping to reorder entries in your queue. I have 2 objections to that. First, I don't necessarily want to permanently change the position in my queue of the track I want to play next. I should be able to leave it in its place in the queue AND also play it next. Besides, maybe what I want to play next is not even in my queue or my playlist.
Second, my queue, which is my complete playlist shuffled, contains 7659 tracks. Dragging & dropping anything in such a queue is just not feasible.
As an alternative to doing things in the GUI, if there were a file somewhere that contains my queue, I could manipulate that directly in, let's say, Notepad++ or perhaps an Open Office component. Of course, I would do that while Spotube is not running. Then next time I open Spotube, presto, my chosen tracks could be next in queue.
If I could manipulate some file directly, I would make certain adjustments to the random queue. There are certain albums that have sequences of tracks that really are a single multi-part track. Examples: Dark Side of the Moon, several tracks on Abbey Road, suites on Chicago II & Chicago III, Singing Winds, Crying Beasts + Black Magic Woman + Oye Como Va on Abraxas, Eruption + You Really Got Me on Van Halen I, Little Guitars (intro) + Little Guitars on Diver Down. I could go on. I would like to edit my queue to make those tracks consecutive in my otherwise more or less random queue. Dragging & dropping is simply not possible in the GUI with my queue of over 7600 tracks.
Once I have manipulated this queue on my desktop, I'd like to be able to got it over to my Android 13 cell phone.
Useful resources
If you want to use my playlist for testing, I believe I have shared it in read-only mode. My user ID on Spotify is the same as my user ID here on GitHub.
