Please help with the queue

[movieman12341]

Hello:

I got the free trail and absolutely love this music player, especially because all the amazing customization! However, there is only 2 things that is stopping me from buying the player, and that is a queue problem.


When I go to the queue, I love how it takes me to the current song that is playing. I'm fine with that. What I really don't like, for example, is if I want to repeat the previous song. I'll push the back arrow, and it will go to the previous song. However, when I do that, it shuffle's the ENTIRE queue again! I want to be able to go back one song, and then continue how it was originally.


Another thing, I would really like to be able to view the playing order. The queue will go from song 500, then to 678, then back to song 5, etc. I don't like this, and would love to be able to see the songs in the order that they will be played.


Is this possible? Am I missing something?



(BTW, I always play from playlists....)


Thanks so much!!!!

I have never seen it shuffle the queue unless you manually tell it to shuffle the queue. Are you saying its taking everything in the queue and reordering it? Or are you talking about how if you go backwards the next track is different? Thats just how it works ((it does not shuffle the entire queue again btw, the next song is just chosen at random). IF you want to always be able to play forward / backwards in the same order, just turn off shuffle and randomize your queue (its on the action bar). The queue is now shuffled up and you can go forward/backwards as much as you want

What i mentioned above would satisfy your second question.

Thanks so much for the quick response!!!

That advice should work great! I use tasker to select my playlists with autoinput plugin. Can I make it where the queue is already shuffled when I click the playlist? Otherwise, it will start with the same song every time I select the playlist, and it will start getting very annoying. It would be nice to have a auto shuffle button right after you select the playlist.

Is there a way to do that?

Thanks so much!!!

The 3 dot menu on a list item should have a "shuffle" option that will add the selection all randomized to the queue. Im not positive if that feature is there for the playlists but most of the otehr views definitely have it. If its not there its definitely on the todo list

Found it!!! I checked and went through every single setting I could find, but I guess I never thought about the 3 dot menu. (:

Also, This isn't a huge deal, but tasker recognizes the 3 dot menu as "menu." (so it can only push the menu of 1 playlist) If someone has multiple playlists, they have to do the x,y point on the screen. Not a big deal, but if someone adds a playlist, they would have to reprogram tasker because all the playlists are now shifted 1 unit down.

You may already know this, but I still wanted to mention it if it can help other people in the long run.


Thank you so much!!! I will now be buying....

gmmp's tasker support does not go that in depth.. it only really supports basic control and playback info
