Android: Queueing Music with Premium

Hiits
Underground

The queue system needs upgrading. It works like a playist that I have to manually start instead of an actual queue as seen in Spotify.

Ex: Sean Kingston is currently playing on "Summer Hits oF the 2000s Radio". I want to listen to "wake me up" by Avicii next so I add it to my queue. When I hit next or Sean Kingston song is over I want "Wake me up" to play next. I want it to interrupt the station and then once "Wake me up" is over for the station to continue playing its playlist like it was never interrupted by my queued song or songs. 

When I hit next "Wake me up" does not play next, instead "Summer Hits of the 2000s Radio" keeps play uninterrupted and plays "over my head" next.  Queued songs should be allowed to interrupt a playlist/ station without having to end session on said playlist or station, because right now the queue feature is just another playist that I can play later when the moods past.  If the queue feature worked like it should Avicii's song "Wake me up" would have played between Sean Kingston song and The Frays song "over my head".

I recently upgraded to Premium and when I first tried queuing while listening to a station, I thought the feature was straight up broken because nothing in my queue would play - the station kept on going with random selections. I went right to submitting a support request and got the same unexpected explanation of how a Pandora queue 'works'. The consensus expectation is clearly that queued songs will play next, and then the station will resume. Adding to the queue should also have a 'play next' option to add the song at the top of the queue. After you fix the queue on the mobile app, bring it over to the desktop application (where the queue function is entirely missing).

The included screenshot shows text that says "lined up to play next", but they don't play next. What purpose is some ephemeral playlist like this supposed to serve? It makes no sense.

Haha - what's the point of turning the queue on or off when it's always off?

@wisepeppy The songs you queue will not begin to play while you are listening to one of your collected stations.

To start your queue, tap on the first song that is listed, and all content that has been added to your queue will play in the order they were added.

If you'd like to see a way for the queue to work when also listening to your collected stations, I recommend creating a new thread in our Ideas space.

Please add a "play next" option.

@Cdc1014 I moved your post over to this existing thread: Android: Queueing Music with Premium

This is already an option with your Pandora Premium subscription.

When adding tracks to your queue, you can re-arrange the order so that the tracks you want to play next are at the top of the list.

Check out the accepted solution for more information.

Hope this helps!

I have this same issue and the accepted solution doesn't resolve this. I turned on auto play and that takes my current song in queue and goes into the algorithm of songs. I have 16 songs queued, I click "next" it doesn't go to the next song. The song just ends and the queue doesn't move.

 

This doesn't behave how I'd expect a queue or act where it's basically a temporary "playlist" without creating an official playlist and will auto play through the list of songs without me manually clicking on the next song in the queue at the end of each song.

@actingtori I'd be happy to help with any questions you have, but I will need additional information to do so.

Can you explain your issue a bit further?

To clarify, when you have songs added to your queue, do they never actually play?

Can you please send me a screenshot of what you currently have in your queue?

The more details you're able to provide, the better equipped I'll be to help.

I look forward to hearing back.
