Playback Queue and Modes

The queue controls what plays now and next. A playlist is a longer-lived collection or rule. Start a track from Songs, then open Queue and identify the current and next items.

Arrange tracks

1. Use Play Next to insert a track after the current one, or add it to the end of the queue.
2. Drag rows to reorder. Select several rows before using the temporary play-after-current action.
3. Remove selected queue items when you no longer want them. This does not delete library entries or files.
4. Mark an item Remove After Play if it should disappear once heard.

The queue has search, bulk selection, and an undo receipt for some actions. Check for Undo before rebuilding the whole queue after a mistake.

Playback modes

Mode	Meaning
Sequence	Follow queue order
Shuffle	Choose a next track from the available scope; separate from random sorting on Songs
Repeat one	Replay the current track
Repeat all	Return to the queue start after the last item
Auto-fill	Add eligible suggestions when the queue runs low

The shuffle rule can avoid the last 0, 25, or 100 tracks in current source. A tiny library may still have few candidates. Check the next-track preview to see the current scope.

Transitions

Normal transition uses ordinary switching or a configured fixed fade. Gapless works for eligible continuous tracks. Smart Transition Beta analyzes beat, phrase, and energy to choose a more natural join, then falls back where unsupported. Test with familiar tracks; choosing a mode does not mean every pair qualifies. See Audio Output for the actual signal path.

Save the session

Save Current Queue creates a local snapshot, not a cross-computer backup. Restore it later only after checking what is currently playing. Save as Playlist keeps eligible local tracks long term; remote or streaming items may be excluded. Generate from history or at random when you want new choices. Clearing a queue never deletes audio files. For lasting organization, use Playlists, Likes, and History.
