Request To Add Multiple Queues.

[Philip Elom]

Multiples queues (with multiple songs) allow for multiple song selections and playlist, be it temporarily or permanently.

If you are keeping multiple lists of songs, they would be called Playlists, and you can create as many of them as you like. You can store & restore the song positions within each one if you wish, using their List Options. Delete them once you are done with them.

I'm not sure I explained myself. I'm asking for that multiple queue feature like the one used in the Musivolet app. Every time you select a song from a different list (or category), a separate queue emerges without eradicating any of the previous queues (unless you wish to do so manually). 

[andrewilley]

So if you chosen to play ten different songs from different library lists, you'd have ten queues with one song in each? Not sure what the point would be?

No. Not one song in each queue. All the songs in that category I have selected that song from. So if I played a song from "All Songs" and then played a song from another category like a particular album, I know that I can go back to that previous queue and continue from where I stopped (and that particular album becomes another queue which I can go back to). Heck, I could even rearrange the songs in queue.

If you take Shuffle/Repeat modes out the equation, Poweramp broadly has two main playback modes:

1) This is the normal way to use Poweramp. Tap on a song in any Library List (could be from a folder, album, playlist, etc) and playback will start from that song and move on through the ordered sequence of the list, optionally moving on to the next folder/album/playlist/etc once the first one is finished. The Play icon in header at the top of the song list does the same thing, just starting at the beginning of the list.

2) Interrupt mode (1) to play a chosen set of songs in a temporary queue. You add items song by song (or whole folders, albums etc) and they will be played in the order you added them until the queue is empty, after which playback reverts back to (1) wherever it left off.

If you want several sets of queued songs available at once it would get very confusing (how would you know which was which for example?) and that's where named Playlists come in, which do basically what you have asked but with more control.

But I can't rearrange the songs while they are currently in play in the Now Playing menu (Is there even a Now Playing list?). And you're overlooking the main benefit: I can move through different categories, confident that I will continue from where I stopped. I can't continue my progress if I were to move through different playlists (especially if they're shuffled). I would have wandered off a different path. And as for keeping track of the queues, trust me, I would know which is which. And besides, they could be made identifiable (The Album's Name, Playlist Name, "All Songs", Folder Name). 

[andrewilley]

Correct, you can't randomly change a song while playing back a category, such as an album or folder. Ordering is based on your pre-defined preference in List Options.

For the ability to move songs around ad hoc, you use either the temporary Queue or a slightly more permanent Playlist. That's exactly what they are there for.
