Play Queue Enhancements

What I want is simple: to be able to tell BluOS to play to the end of the current track, and stop.  I know I can stop in the middle, that is obvious, but I want to finish the track and THEN stop.  I know I can stand there with my fingers hovering over the controls, waiting to hit Pause the moment the current track ends.  That is very inconvenient, and prone to error or interruptions.  FINISH playing this track, and STOP.

It would also be useful to be able to move items up and down within the Play Queue.

Thanks!

  Hello Roy,
  
  When playing a song in BluOS it will continue to play the remainder of your play queue after the song completes. If you would like the playback to stop after the current song, you will need to ensure the play queue is cleared after the currently playing song.

  The Autofill feature in BluOS will automatically fill your play queue with the songs listed below the song you originally selected to play. To prevent this from occurring you can disable this feature by going to Settings > Playback > Autofill.

  As for moving items in the play queue, you can do this by selecting the 3 lines with a pencil as this will allow you to edit your current play queue. From here you can rearrange the order of your current play queue or remove songs.

  Regards,
  Wesley P.

  Thanks for that, but...

  If I understand correctly, the way to stop playing the queue at the end of the current song is to destroy the queue so nothing follows the current song.  That isn't what I am asking for.  I want to be able to PAUSE the queue BETWEEN songs, only playing FULL tracks.  I want to be able to pick up where I left off, after leaving off at the end of the current tracks.

  Example: I am playing a Beethoven Symphony consisting of four tracks.  While listening to tracks 2 I need to interrupt and deal with something.  I would like to tell BluOS to finish the current track and then Pause.  I want to be able to return after the interruption and take up where I left off, listening to track 3.

  I will play with rearranging the queue as you described.  Thanks!

  I would also like to do something similar:

  Add a stream (eg Radio Paradise) to the play queue so that after the last (or current) song ends, the device switches to streaming mode using the selected service.

  A small thing, but would be wonderful to have.

  That sounds like a fine idea!
