The music queue in the WiiM Home app is barely usable.
1. I cannot add an album or playlist from Qobuz to play next. I can only add the album to the end of the queue. If I have queued Album A and B, and while listening to Album A I decide I would like to listen to Album C, I cannot queue Album C to play next, it can only be added at the end of the existing queue. I want the current song to keep playing and then play Album C and then continue with the rest of the queue.
2. I cannot delete items from the queue. [edit: one at a time is possible by swiping left in the app, but deleting multiple tracks at once is not possible.]
3. I cannot reorder items in the queue. If I want to add several tracks while a song is playing, I have to add them to "Play next" in reverse order to get them in sequence.
4. I cannot re-order albums in the queue. The queue does not respect albums. It just treats everything as an individual track, which is useless.
In the iTunes of more than a decade ago you could collapse the queue into albums and re-order them. You could delete and move individual tracks. You could add playlists or albums to play after the track you are listening to. All of this basic functionality is more than a decade old. In Roon you can at least delete and re-order tracks in the queue.
Making and adjusting the play queue is the heart of listening to music. One thing inspires another. The WiiM Home app queue is so frustrating that I barely ever use it, severely limiting how I can use the WiiM Amp.
