Smart Shuffle, but with your current podcast first.

App version: x.y.z (state whether from Google Play/F-Droid/Custom built APK)

Problem you may be having, or feature you want:

The problem that I’m having is that having smart shuffle activated and “keep sorted” checked makes it so if I add a new podcast to my queue the current podcast that I’m listening to might go down in the list making it so the top of my queue will not be listened to.

What I end up doing is I uncheck, keep sorted, and I send my podcast that I’m currently listening to, to the top of my queue. So then I still have a chance to listen to my full queue.

Suggested solution:

My suggestion is smart shuffle should have all of the partially listened to podcasts at the top of the queue.

This way, you can start at the top of the queue and listen down and no matter at what point you might add new podcasts to your queue, your current podcast will always stay at the top, instead of getting reshuffled in.

It’ll also make it easier to find podcasts that you have partially listened to so you can finish those if you’d like.

I also suggest that the partially listened to podcasts should go in order of most listen to, to least listen to. And then, of course, afterwards, the normal smart shuffle
