Play queue
The album, playlist or tracks selected from a streaming service or a media server are either added to the current app play queue, or replaces it completely.
From the "Play queue" screen, navigating in the selected service or server is achieved by returning to the "Music" screen or by using the button to jump to the latest navigation point.
It is also easy to access an artist’s page or the album of a particular track from the options of any tracks in streaming services.
The play queue can be composed of tracks from different services and servers.
