How to use Up Next in iTunes and the Music app

<div class="field field-name-body field-type-text-with-summary field-label-hidden"><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even" property="content:encoded"><p><a href='http://www.imore.com/how-use-next-itunes-and-music-app' title="How to use Up Next in iTunes and the Music app"><img src='http://www.imore.com/sites/imore.com/files/styles/large_wm_brw/public/field/image/2015/06/apple-music-up-next-hero.jpg?itok=BXj_M4iI' />[/url]</p> <p>In the old days, if you were in the midst of a killer mix, but one track led you to want to mix in another song, you could either forget about it and keep going, or play the serendipitous song and kill your killer mix.  Apple's Up Next queue has put an end to that. Even if you're in the middle of playlist or album, you can quickly stack other tracks—even another playlist or album—to listen to immediately, and then seamlessly merge back right back into your playlist or album when you're done.</p> <p>Up Next also keeps track of your play history, whether you're listening to songs from your music collection, Apple Music, Beats 1, or Apple Music radio stations. Here's how you can use it.</p> <h2>How the Up Next queue works</h2> <p>When you launch iTunes or the Music app and begin playing a song, Up Next creates a queue of songs to follow.</p> <p>It creates a queue of upcoming music based on the source of the original track:</p> <ul><li>If you randomly picked a song on shuffle from your library, your Up Next queue will pull from My Music. </li> <li>If you're jamming out to an album, Up Next will add the remainder of that album. </li> <li>If you're listening to an entire artist's collection, Up Next will pull other songs from that artist.</li> <li>If you searched for a specific song, Up Next will repeat that song forever until you tell it otherwise.</li> <li>If you're listening to Beats 1 or Apple Music radio, you won't see anything in the Up Next queue.</li> </ul><p>You can view that queue at any time by tapping on the <strong>Up Next button</strong> (looks like three horizontal lines). Within the Up Next interface, you can also clear the queue, add, remove, or move around specific songs, and view your play history.</p> <p>Your queue can hold hundreds of songs, so don't worry about overloading it, and it will automatically pause if you switch to a non-queue part of Music (Beats 1 or Apple Music radio), to resume when you return to My Music or the Apple Music catalog.</p> <h2>How to view your Up Next queue</h2> <p>You can see what's queued in Up Next at any time by tapping the Up Next button in the Music app (from the Now Playing screen) or iTunes (from the Now Playing display).</p> <h3>On your iPhone, iPad, or iPod</h3> <ol><li>Locate the <strong>Mini Player</strong> at the bottom of the screen, just above the tab bar.</li> <li>Tap the center of the player to bring up the <strong>Now Playing</strong> screen. (Or touch and hold on the mini player and drag up.)</li> <li>Tap on the <strong>Up Next</strong> button.</li> <li>Tap the <strong>Done</strong> button to return to Now Playing.  <a href='http://www.imore.com/how-use-next-itunes-and-music-app' title="How to use Up Next in iTunes and the Music app"><img src='?itok=NBdXaCog' />[/url]</li> </ol><h3>On your Mac</h3> <ol><li>In iTunes, click on the <strong>Up Next</strong> button next to the Now Playing display.</li> <li>To return, click anywhere <strong>outside</strong> the Up Next screen.</li> </ol><p><a href='http://www.imore.com/how-use-next-itunes-and-music-app' title="How to use Up Next in iTunes and the Music app"><img src='?itok=HGxjb94x' />[/url] </p> <h2>How to add music to Up Next</h2> <p>When you add a song to Up Next, you have the choice of either adding it to the top of the queue (it will play after the currently-playing track) or bottom (it will play after everything else in your queue). From there, you can pop into the Up Next queue to adjust further (say, if you want your new song to play after a particular track in your queue).</p> <h3>Add to Up Next from the More Button</h3> <ol><li>Browse to the <strong>track, album</strong>, or <strong>playlist</strong> you want to add to Up Next.</li> <li>Tap or click the <strong>More</strong> button (looks like •••).</li> <li>Tap or click <strong>Play Next</strong> to add the music to the front of your <strong>Up Next</strong> queue, or <strong>Add to Up Next</strong> to add the music to the end of the queue.</li> </ol><p><a href='http://www.imore.com/how-use-next-itunes-and-music-app' title="How to use Up Next in iTunes and the Music app"><img src='?itok=_Bq6Flie' />[/url]
