What the title says.
If I have a playlist of 100 songs, and I click song #50, this should queue the 99 other songs, not the 50 other songs.
Current behavior:
Clicking song #50 queues songs 51-100.
Expected Behavior:
Clicking song #50 queues the other 99 songs.
The behaviour you see is the expected behaviour when selecting at the song level. If you want to operate on the playlist as a whole, use the blue button at the top left of the screen
I suggest perusing the Roon Knowledge Base, in particular the section on playlists.
I just want to add that the blue buttons can be arranged on the Settings/Play Action screen. There is setup for both Playlists as a whole and Playlist on a track level. At the track level, as you have seen you can play from or queue from here; but, not the whole playlist (unless you are on the first track).
Which is ridiculous. Why can’t I play my playlist by clicking a track. Every other music client supports this that I can think of, and I’ve used Tidal, Spotify, Qobuz, Pandora, etc.
Seems strange that this wouldn’t be the default behavior. If I want to play a specific song to start my playlist with my queue in shuffle mode, I should be able to. Instead, I have to add my song to queue, queue the playlist, and then go back to the queue and start from here on the song I wanted to start with.
That’s anything but intuitive.
Here’s what it looks like doing it:
Every other music client on the planet:
One click. Not 10.
Roon is different than every other music client, but it doesn’t need to be less intuitive.
Hi @Ben_Humphrey,
In Roon, clicking on tracks is for track based functionality…
What you wish to do is shuffle the whole playlist … to do this use follow the advice given by Brian …
The default action is to add the playlist in order to the queue… a lot of people want this.
To shuffle it, just click the small down arrow and select shuffle… 2 clicks job done.
Note: if shuffle is your thing … the default action can be configured to do this in settings.
Hope this helps.
Then you should make a Feature Request.
