Feature Request - Add to Top of Queue

Alex Bloore Aug 27, 2012 05:21PM PDT

Currently, when you add an item to the queue, it always appears at the end of the queue. However, sometimes I want to add a song to the top of my queue, so that it plays next in line. As far as I can tell, there isn't a way to do this.

It would be great to be able to hold CMD while dragging an item to the queue (or clicking "Play Later") to add it to the beginning of the queue (or something like that).

Hey Alex,

Check out how to slip something into your Queue immediately right here: http://help.rdio.com/customer/portal/articles/59003-secret-hidden-features

I hope that clears things up. If you have any further questions, please let me know.

Cheers,

Actually, I know about that functionality, and use it regularly. However, it does not address my request. Using the feature you mention, the song/album/playlist will begin playing immediately, interrupting what is currently playing and queueing it up to play after the new item finishes.

What I would like is to be able to add something to the top of the queue, so that it begins playing as soon as the current item finishes (rather than interrupting the currently playing item). As of now, I have to add it to the queue, then go into the queue and move it to the top in order for it to play next.

Hey Alex,

Got it. Thanks for following up, and thanks for taking the time to let us know that's something you'd like to see. There aren't any immediate plans to implement this feature, but I'll share this with our team.

Just want to add my very enthusiastic second to this feature request. I'd use it all the time.

Agreed, please add this feature. Would be a small, but at the same time huge, improvement.

Yes!! I would LOVE this feature. There is an easy spot to place this button, too. When you click on the a song's drop-down menu there is the "Play Later" option. Right below that could be the "Play Next" button which would place it in the queue right where we want it!

Alex,
Thanks for your response. This seems like such an obvious feature to me; it seems odd to me that it's not included. Especially considering rdio users have been asking for it on these forums for at least a few years.
Brian
