Android: How to view queue with Premium

deafInOneEye — Tue, 04 Jun 2024 14:05:30 GMT

It's possible that I'm the stupidest person in the world, but I cannot find where to view the queue in the app.

Google says "You can view your queue from the Now Playing screen, either below track details (if you're listening to a station) or below the tracklist (if you're listening to an album or playlist)."

But on my phone, there's nothing to click as far as I can tell...

Is this a pebkac error?

Please let me know.

Hi, @deafInOneEye. 👋

Thanks for visiting the Pandora Community!

As a Pandora Premium listener, you can queue individual songs, albums, playlists or stations to play next.

That is correct - you can view your queue from the Now Playing screen, either below track details (if you're listening to a station) or below the tracklist (if you're listening to an album or playlist).

To add to your queue, either "long press" an item or tap the corresponding ellipsis and then select Add to Queue.
Keep in mind that if you add a station to your queue, it will play continuously until you manually move to the next item in your queue.

Here's a screenshot of what the queue should look like within the app under one of my playlists:

If you're not seeing a queue after adding songs, could you share what you're seeing?

When sharing a photo on community: You can include your screenshot directly in your post on community. This is best done through a web or mobile browser by clicking on the camera icon in the text editor. You will not be able to share a photo through the email notification you may receive.

Let me know. 🎧

Hi, @AlyssaPandora, thanks for the response :-).

It turns out I had a terminology problem: every time I hit shuffle on a playlist, the app would start from the same point in the list, and play the songs in the same order.

When I tapped on the now playing song menu, it showed me the song on the playlist - I thought this was the queue :-). Now I see that the queue is a separate object, which doesn't exist until you expressly add something to it.

Starting a different list or station and then shuffling the other list works.

Quick comment: I think it would be better functionality if starting a playlist added tracks to the queue or built a new one: it's probably four lines of code and would offer more user control and, no: this isn't me eating my sour grapes :-).

Thanks again, and do have a peep at deafInOneEye.com when you have a moment - I promise you at least one smile.

Cheers,
