The huge pull for its audience are the number of arrangements it has with music labels to be able to build a huge music repository publicly available online.<\/p>\n<p>Using Spotify though, the easiest way to arrange the music playing is via a &#8220;Shuffle Play&#8221; of the songs of the sources you choose, whether that be by individual artist or podcast or album or genre.  Some albums though, at least to our mind, are like a story, and they have been developed with a purpose or theme in mind, and as such, can be best played in the song order chosen by the artist or that artist&#8217;s agents, for that album.  Don&#8217;t think there are any buttons as such for this on the Spotify app, today&#8217;s video showing the iOS app version on an iPhone.  But this is possible, and the purpose of today&#8217;s tutorial is to talk about the Spotify &#8220;play queue&#8221; and in the process how to achieve this.<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Clear the existing queue first by &#8230;\n<ul>\n<li>Tap on song currently playing<\/li>\n<li>Tap top right icon &#8230; shows songs on the queue<\/li>\n<li>Check all the boxes on left<\/li>\n<li>Tap &#8220;Remove&#8221; button at bottom left to clear the queue<\/li>\n<li>Go back with down arrow top left icon tap<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li>Search for album name via bottom magnifying glass icon tap &#8230; type in album name in resultant textbox &#8230; go (swipe) down to Album section and tap the album<\/li>\n<li>Swipe to right on each song of that album in order &#8230; and a &#8220;Queued&#8221; message will briefly verify that operation<\/li>\n<li>Optionally choose more music to be queued up by returning to step 2 above<\/li>\n<li>Your choices will be played in that order after any currently playing song<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Have a geek at this demonstrated by us, below &#8230;<\/p>\n<p><video controls type='video\/mp4' style='width:100%;height:800px;'><source src='http:\/\/www.rjmprogramming.com.au\/Mac\/iPhone\/spotify_queue.mp4'><\/source><\/video><\/p>\n<p>We hope this might be of some use to some Spotify users out there!
