When you select a track or album you can choose to play it as the next
track or album. This means the current track continues to play
but the selected track will be the following to play, even when
the track is not next in the playlist. This is done using an internal queue
containing play next requests. See also Playlist overview. Basically
there are two kind of places where the play next request can
be done: When choosing play next from the playlist, the
selected track is queued to play next. When choosing play next from
outside the playlist, the album or track should be added when not in
playlist yet before it is queued to play next. But even when the
album or track is already in the playlist, the user might want to add the album
anyhow. When enabled in the General 2 page
of the preferences, a dialog is shown to choose if the album or tracks should be
added anyhow. The dialog offers follwoing choices: Only Add Tracks on "Play" or "Play Next" when not in
Playlist Always add Tracks or Album on "Play" or "Play
Next" Note: To determine if an album is already in the playlist, it is checked if
the album is available in full with tracks in sequential order. Otherwise an
album is considered not to be in the playlist yet. A second dialog also might be shown when enabled in the General 2 page
of the preferences. This dialog gives the option to enqueue the play
next request or just save it is the only play next request. This
setting is also available from the playlist options menu. Read more about this
setting here Enqueue
"Play Next" Requests.
When albums or tracks are not in the
playlist yet they are added on pressing play next.
Albums or tracks are always added
on pressing play next even when the album or track is already in
the playlist.
