Split dual queue system (manual/up next)

Feature description

Implement a dual-queue system that separates manually added tracks from auto-queued tracks (from an album or playlist) with actions “Play Next” adding a track to the top of this manual queue, and “Add to queue” or maybe a dedicated “Play Last” action, adding the track to the end of that manual queue.

Problem solved

When an album or a playlist is auto-queued it’s impossible to build a manual stack of songs to play next in order, while allowing the app to continue playback of the remaining auto-queued songs after the manual queue ends. Currently using the “Add to queue” action adds a song to the end of the entire queue, which means it will only play after all the songs from the playlist/album have played.

Brought benefits

Adding this feature would eliminate the need either add songs to the top of the queue in a reverse order, or manually rearranging the tracks in the queue.

Device type

All

Additional description and context

It’s important to note that using the “Preserve “Play next” order” feature isn’t a fix for this problem, as it makes it eliminates the option to add a song to the top of the queue, since tracks are then placed after the existing “play next” tracks.

The goal of this feature is to make both actions possible.

I searched existing feature request and i wasn’t able to find a similar suggestion, although i might’ve missed it since I don’t really know how this feature would be called, so sorry if this has already been suggested.

I attached an example explaining how it could work, based on Apple Music on Windows.

Would love to see this implemented! I usually browse albums or playlists to pick songs and the fact that it adds the entire list/album has always deterred me from using the queue feature.
