I don't quite understand. Do you somehow designate all your symphonies or something (your collections of must-play-in-a-particular-order music) each as a separate queue, or something?

But sometimes I'd like to hear some things in the correct order so I just queue them. With Winamp, I'd have to double-click the first part, switch off random playback and remember to switch it on after the last part. But if the music I want to listen to doesn't come from the same CD (e.g. two symphonies of the same composer), the tracks are not behind each other in the playlist, so in Winamp, after one symphony I'd need to search for the second one. In amaroK I just queue up the tracks I want to hear in the next hour(s) and they get played, and I don't have to care to set some options back.
I don't want to diss Winamp, I've been using it for at least 5 years but amaroK gives me a much better user experience.

Just choose the playlist entry and press <Q>, then the song gets marked with a [1] and will be chosen next time no matter what, next ones gets a [2] mark, and so on...
Or maybe I misunderstood?
amaroK features Posted Nov 29, 2005 3:10 UTC (Tue) by dirtyepic (subscriber, #30178) [Link] it's more for choosing the next n tracks to be played. during random mode for example, if you see a song in the playlist you want to hear next you can queue it, along with any others, and they will play in that order and then return to random mode. during sequential listing, you could choose to play a couple songs from further down the list and then return to the previous place in the playlist and continue. it's mainly a convienience thing, where you don't have to go back into the player and turn random on/off or manually reorder the list by dragging tracks around.
