“Add to queue” behaves like “Listen next” on all platforms

Hi,

I would like to report a bug affecting the playback queue.

There are two different options for adding tracks or albums to the current playback:

  • Listen next (“Ascolta subito dopo” in Italian on my system)
  • Add to queue (“Aggiungi alla coda di ascolto” in Italian on my system)

Normally, these two options have different behaviors:

  • Listen next adds the selected track or album immediately after the currently playing track.
  • Add to queue adds the selected track or album at the end of the current playback queue.

However, for the past few weeks, both options have been producing the same result: the selected track or album is always inserted immediately after the currently playing track.

I have reproduced the issue on different platforms:

  • Deezer desktop app for macOS: 7.1.340
  • Deezer app for iOS: 11.23.0.1
  • Deezer Web app using Microsoft Edge on macOS

Since the same behavior occurs across different clients, it does not appear to be specific to a single app or platform.

Thanks!

The buttons do different things and that difference is more obvious when you add multiple tracks/albums.
“Play Next”:
The most recently selected track is played first.
Example:
You first select track A, then B, then C using “Play Next.”
The playback order is: C → B → A
“Add to Queue” (new behavior):
The selected tracks are played in the order in which you add them – before the rest of your playlist.
Example:
You first add track A, then B, then C to the queue.
The playback order is: A → B → C

I just noticed this issue has been posted several times.
I will leave this on to “reinforce” the request

Thanks ​@Jaime.Deezer . 
I personally do not like this new behavior but at least I get it now. 😁
What many of us are probably looking for is a “Play last” function.

Fair enough, and your feedback is very much appreciated for a better user experience.
