Adding next song to the queue

[Vignus]

Apologies if this has already been posted, but I've searched the forum and couldn't find this topic, and I find this glitch really annoying.

All my music is on a Synolkogy NAS, no streaming services.

With my previous streamer (Cambridge Audio) I could add a song at any time during playing, by simply hit "play next", no matter how I was browsing, the option was always there. I don't seem to be able to find this option in Wiim home unless I search a song. If I browse through my songs or album the option isn't there.

I.e.: say I'm listening to "Abbey Road" and I decide I want to listen to "Karma Police" after the song that's being played. I browse Music->Radiohead->OK Computer->Karma Police and... "Play Next" isn't available... I can only add the song to Favourites or to a Playlist.
But... if i search for Karma Police I get the "Play next" option. As if this wasn't enough, if I select Karma Police to be played next the whole album is added to the cue list. Very frustrating.

I cannot believe that such a basic function isn't there.

Am I missing something or is this something noone at Wiim hasn't thought of?

Please help.

Do you have a media server on the nas, e.g. minimserver?
Maybe try a different app like bubbleupnp or mconnect, especially if just using your own library.

I have tried with different media servers, such as the Synology one and minim server, but the issue is still there

Yes, which is why I'm suggesting using a different control app.
As you only use your own music you can pretty much ignore the wiim app unless you want to change some device settings.

I don't want to ignore the wiim app, I like it. I'm just asking if there's a way to make it do a simple thing that every control app does

 

[Mr Ee]

Then sorry, no there isn't, as yet!

You are always free to submit a Feature Request.

I did submit a request, and I do enjoy gettting (and giving, if I can) advise. I just don't like being told that what I ask is stupid or useless, that's all. I think we're all novices here, trying to help each others, and respect should be part of the deal. Having said that, I must say that I've found many useful answers here

Of course, I agree with you.

But unfortunately, I did not feel any respect for @Mr Ee from your statement.
