Allow for Management of Multiple Queues

Feature request
1

App version: 3.0.2

Problem you may be having, or feature you want: I would like to be able have multiple queues to help manage my large (150+) episode list in my queue.

Suggested solution: Allow for creation of alternate named queues and movement of items in one queue to another queue.

Have you considered the use of Tags to help you organise your podcasts? For example, keep the queue for new episodes that you are keeping on top of as and when they drop and have Tags for the various backlogs of podcasts that you are gradually working your way through,

Any news for multiple queues ?

The github thread was closed for the public

I love antennaPod so much.

Please keep this app with just one queue and not multiple playlists like other apps.

Why? If some people would find multiple playlists useful (I don’t) then no skin off my nose if that feature was made available.

On second thought, I agree with you, but please allow those who want to use one primary playlist as the default where everything will be managed. It would be useful and effective for those who want to, :folded_hands:t3::folded_hands:t3:like me.

I would think that saved playlists would be separate from the main queue but that is open to discussion.

If playlists don’t cancel the main queue, that calms me down

I would also love this feature, especially now that Google Assistant’s “Play the News” feature has been abandoned!

If we had different waiting lists where we could choose the topics ourselves, that would be really cool. Thank you very much.

Alright, so last night I published to another post here ( Multiple Queues Impact and Feature Mapping - #14 by Fogolin ) about my approach to this feature. Would be great to hear from other people interested if that makes sense the way it is right now, before opening a new PR and creating more review work to our moderators (you guys have a lot on your plate, keep up the good work!). I’ve forked the repo and have a working version of the app with this functionality:

  • If you only want a single queue, like @Yoni_GASI, nothing changes for you
  • If you’d like to have multiple queues, like many others, I suggest reading up on my approach, I think it might be what you are also looking for.

Hope to hear from you guys!
