Inverse Playlist and sorting

As I mentioned before, I would like Rose to add the function “inverse playlist” I would want to add tracks one after the other and not the other way around. That means you don’t want to start at the end of your playlist as how it is now.

Thanks in advance for your understanding.

@Querner

Aren’t you referring to Queue, not Playlist?
For example, is it because of the problem of going to the end of Queue when you play a song?


- Add to the end of the queue : All the songs in the album goes to the end of the queue
- Empty the queue and add: All the songs in the queue is deleted and all the songs in the album is added
- Add to a direct play : All the songs in the album goes to the top and playes directly
- Add to play next: All the songs in the album is added below the current streaming music

@ROSEHAN
I’m not referring to Queue, i’m referring to playlist.
When a track is added to a playlist it is added at the top of the playlist and not at the bottom as it should be.
The way it is now is when you make a playlist, you add tracks and when you want to play the playlist it starts with the last song added which doesn’t make sense. I would want to start with the first song that I added.
If I want to keep the order that I intended, I have to move the tracks one by one from the bottom to the top. This can be a lot of work when you have a long playlist.

Best regards.

Same issue raised 2 years ago.

@Querner, when you say “doesn’t make sense”, with Rose’s software it’s all relative…

When I was young I made a lot of mixtapes. Now you know that i’m a middle aged music lover :nerd_face:.
When I made these tapes, each track was recorded after the other starting with the first track I added.
Maybe we should ask anyone who reads this post to like it or react and say “agree” at it.
I have a feeling that there might be more like-minded-middle-aged people like me. :wink:

I will forward your request to the software team.

They will review it and add it if they think it should be added.

Hello @ROSEHAN,

I was wondering if you already discussed this topic with the software developers. If not, I would strongly suggest to. Why am I asking? Because I have a feeling that there are more customers who feel the same about making playlists.

Please consider this @ROSELOA

Thanks in advance!

I’ve discussed it internally, but it doesn’t seem like a fix right now.

When you write a letter or a book, you have a beginning, a middle part and an end.

Same with a script for a movie, a mix made by a famous dj or any sort of creative composition.

Even a conversation between people follows a certain kind of linear path, you start with a greeting and you end with a salute.

Playlists available on most platforms are also like that.

When artists make records they are very particular when it comes to choosing which song should be the 1st on the album and so on…

Say I invite some people for dinner and I would like to create a playlist with music that accompanies - progressively - the evening, from the beginning when people arrive to the time when desserts are served. I can’t do that on the Rose. My only option is to deploy the shuffle option.

Rosehan’s kind and latest confirmation that we cannot create playlists that have a beginning, a middle part and an end, suggests this is another of those intuitive aspects which are not possible to implement because the way the Software foundations were originally designed do not allow it, which is such a shame.

Thank you for the update,

I understand that not every request can be implemented right away, but I believe this is not just a small preference, it’s a fundamental usability issue.

When building a playlist, the natural workflow is to think about the first track, then the second, and so on – not the other way around. With the current behavior, we are forced to plan our playlist “in reverse,” which makes the feature unintuitive and discouraging to use.

Almost every other music platform (Spotify, Roon, Qobuz, Tidal, etc.) adds tracks to the bottom of the playlist, so users immediately feel comfortable and understand the logic. The current “inverse” behavior in RoseConnect feels counterintuitive and inconsistent with the rest of the music ecosystem.

Please reconsider implementing this change, or at least giving users the option to choose whether new tracks are added to the top or the bottom of a playlist. It would make playlists much more practical, and I’m sure many users would appreciate this improvement.

Best regards.

I understand what you mean.
However, please understand that we cannot add this feature as a priority right now.
We will consider it in the future.
