Is there a way to queue up the next song on my iPhone?

Question

Is there a way to pick which song should play after the current song finishes?

I often browse my music library while listening, and I'll want to play a specific song, but not stop the current song in the middle. Is there a way to queue up a song to start after the current one?

Answer 1

As they say in the iPhone world, "There's an app for that" (Review) :-) It's called OnCue.

Answer 2

You could try Play It Next, it does just that.

Answer 3

This requires just a little preparation: first you need to be playing a playlist.

• create a new playlist
• add your first song
• hit 'Done'
• Play the song you've added
• hit the back button to view the playlist
• hit 'Edit'

At this point you can add and rearrange songs without interrupting playback. I always miss the function 'Play in iTunes DJ' which iTunes on the Mac has, which would shortcut this whole process.

Answer 4

OnTheFly Playlist does exactly what you are asking.
