How to Make a Queue on Apple Music

queue apple music songs

Perhaps I'm missing something. Spotify allows me to add songs to a queue regardless of whatever playlist I'm on, however, Apple Music does not allow me to add a song to 'Play next' if I'm not in the currently playing playlist. Is there something I'm overlooking? It's quite annoying.

Apple Music allows you to queue up music on your iPhone so that when the current song concludes, the app automatically goes on to the next song you choose. This allows you to simply create unique playlists while listening. Today we would like to tell you how to queue songs on Apple Music effortlessly. We will also give you a tip to make Apple Music playlists playable after the subscription.

Part 1. Queue vs Shuffle on Apple Music

When you listen to music on Apple Music, you can either queue or shuffle your songs, and each option offers a different experience.

Queuing lets you take control of your music. You choose what to play next and in what order. This feature allows you to set the perfect mood by arranging your songs exactly how you want them. For example, if you're getting ready for a workout, you might start with some slow tracks to warm up, then queue up some high-energy songs to push you through the hardest parts of your routine.

Shuffling, on the other hand, is about letting go and enjoying whatever comes next. When you shuffle, Apple Music mixes up your songs randomly, giving you a little bit of everything. This is great for when you're on a long drive, just hanging out, or doing chores around the house. You get a little bit of everything without having to think about what to play next.

In short, queuing is great when you want to carefully plan your music, while shuffling is perfect for when you're in the mood for surprises. Both are useful, depending on how you feel and what you're doing.
