The queue

A queue that keeps albums together, shuffles without losing its order, and comes back where you left it.

The queue tab: the queue in order, its totals and what plays next

Albums stay albums

Add an album or an artist (a), and it stays one group in the queue: fold it, move it, remove it whole from its header. A adds the selection to play next — it is pinned, marked ↑ next, ahead of everything else.

Shuffle, without losing the order

Shuffle (s) is a separate play order: the queue itself keeps its order. Press B to see one or the other, b to show or hide what was already played; f reshuffles what is left. Repeat (r) goes off, all, one.

Tidying

Key Does
K J move up, down
d remove
X clear the queue
P clear what was played
g show this track in the library

The side column sums it up: tracks, time left in play order, and when it will end.

It comes back

Quit, restart the computer: the queue, its groups, the position in the track and the modes come back as they were. Turn it off with restore_session = false under [player].
