Netflix: Piracy is difficult to compete against and growing rapidly

My three biggest pet peeves are:

- You can't turn your queue into a playlist (and you can't see previous queue as part of the queue, only as limited history.)

- Clicking a song or album sometimes clears your queue and starts playing that instead (I know there is a logic to it, but a mistake or mis-click is easy).

- There is no shortcut to add to queue, just long press then find the menu item.

It's possible everyone else is only listening to albums or curating playlists then playing them, but I like to pick things as I go like a jukebox and it sucks at it.

What I'm missing is multiple "currently playing" lists, each keeping its current position as I switch to play a different one. Use case: listening to a discography of the band, and if I wish to listen few songs from some other band. I can't go back to where I was with the first band. Foobar had multiple ad-hoc lists since forever. Now I balance between Spotify and Youtube music in these cases.

Yeah I really wish there was a global history of my plays that I could look at.

You could link Spotify to last.fm, it saves all your plays.

I request my Spotify data (via their gdpr site) annually and put it in a sql database so I can do my own analysis.

There is, just swipe the song to the right.

You can also tap the kebab menu and select “Add to Queue”
