Perhaps i’m being dim here, but has Play Next been removed from the S2 app?

In S1 I could press and hold a track and get a Play Next option, but that no longer works. has it been moved or removed?

Hi. Just scroll the list down

Tried that, still no option to Play Next. Pressing “More” brings up another box, but still has no Play Next option

You appear to be trying to do this from the queue, rather than from somewhere where you would normally select music to play, such as in the Browse or Search screens.

Absolutely nothing has changed here.

I’m going to take some convincing on this one :relaxed: . I think I’ll have to find someone still on S1 to check - I’m sure I've done this before (although I do remember also manually moving a track’s position in the queue so it played next!)

You’d think it was years ago, not just a few weeks! Thanks for the reply, regardless

That context menu refers to a track in the queue. AFAIK there’s never been a ‘play next’ option there. If you want to play a queued track immediately then simply tap it. If you want to rearrange the queue then use the Edit option.

S1 app. Long press on track in queue

It doesn't even make logical sense to offer a Play Next option on a queued track.

You are clearly remembering the second scenario and thinking it applied to the first.

But I won't argue any further.

Exactly the same issue here although I’d go much further: Sonos2 is much worse and I’ve yet to find any advantage. I wish I’d never upgraded.

I think I have, however, solved this issue and it’s nothing to do with the queue.

The first screenshot below is not the queue, it’s from a search for an album and then selecting a track either by long press on the title or the three dots on the right.
I can’t get anything onto the queue by that route.
Except that What felt like entirely randomly I could when mysteriously the options are different such as when I do exactly the same thing for the next track in the same album as in the next screenshot.

I think the clue is “my Sonos” although I have no idea what or where that is… try adding to my Sonos and then selecting again and you then get the play next option. (Last screenshot)

Just in case you’re wondering I can separately get to the queue and edit it - this is absolutely not the queue and I was not playing any of this album when taking the screenshots.

Any suggestions of what I’m describing or what my Sonos is would be gratefully received.
