Problems with the queue system

I really need Apple to fix this queueing system, it works soooo bad. It doesn’t make sense the last song I pick is the first song to play, throwing off the vibes I’m trying to set! I shouldn’t have to think backwards when trying to set up my queue too that’s making me do too much. They give me the option to play last but every song needs to play in the playlist before it comes on? What if my playlist has 250 songs?? Why would I want to wait 15 hrs to hear a song I was just thinking about? That only works if u have no song in the queue…. That would hardly ever be the case I don’t wanna have to constantly make sure a song is playing next up. It makes no sense. It makes it so hard to collaborate w friends, I’m sitting there reorganizing the queue cuz it’s playing it backwards. If I queue song 1, then song 2, it should play song 1 first then song 2. Please fix this Apple. It used to work!! I remember the play after next button. That worked how you would think. It would play that song after the other songs in the queue play first. It’s been like 5 years since it’s been removed and i still pray for the day it comes back. Please fix for iOS 18 please

Hello PrinceMorque,

If you want to change the order of the songs in a playlist, these steps from Create playlists on iPhone - Apple Support may help:

Edit a playlist you created on iPhone

Tap the playlist, tap , tap Edit, then do any of the following:

• Add more songs: Tap Add Music, then choose music.

• You can also touch and hold an item (song, album, playlist, or music video), tap Add to a Playlist, then choose a playlist.

• Delete a song: Tap , then tap Delete. Deleting a song from a playlist doesn’t delete it from your library.

• Change the song order: Drag  next to a song.

Changes you make to your music library are updated across all your devices when Sync Library is turned on in Music settings. If you’re not an Apple Music subscriber, the changes appear in your music library the next time you sync with your computer.

Have a good day.

Hi PrinceMorque,

If the Music app is not working as expected, and with Autoplay off it's still adding what music it selects (instead of what you have selected), then we recommend reaching out to Apple Support so they can look into this with you further and find out what's causing this behavior.

They can be reached by going to Get Support.

Take care!

Hi PrinceMorque,

We'll be happy to see how we can help in Apple Support Communities with your Music app.

It looks like you used the article Add music to your queue to play next on your iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, or Android device - Apple Support to post your question. This is a great resource to use. You are going to want to make sure Autoplay is off. If this feature is on, it will automatically add to the select what will be added to the queue.

To turn Autoplay on or off, tap the Autoplay button  in the upper-right corner of your screen. If you turn off Autoplay on one of your devices, then Autoplay is turned off on any device that's signed in with your Apple ID.

Reach back out if you still need help.

Take care!

When there are problems with this app, uninstalling and downloading it again is the solution. Indeed Spotify is more customer-friendly. But the range and sound reproduction is much better.
