queue songs

fibertech:
Is there a way to queue songs other than a playlist? I would like to be able to pass an IPad around using JRemote and allow my guests to queue songs to be played. I have searched around the forum and found no options.

I'm not sure why a playlist won't work here. Pass the iPad around and people add files. What app are you using on the iPad. JRemote has issues with playlists.

In jremote select the track and then choose add to playing now - couldn't be simpler really.

@fibertech:  It might be useful for you to know that JRiver MC always uses a queue to play media.  Playing Now is the play queue.  All songs (and other media like video) go through this queue.  I think JRemote is set up, by default, to replace Playing Now with the entire album when you click on an album. 

You can of course choose "add to playing now" instead, for individual songs, etc.

I've used other remotes with MC:  Gizmo (free) and EOS Remote (paid), both on the Android platform.  EOS can have options set so that the default "click" action is to add to playing now.  This is easier for situations like yours because every "click" just adds it to the queue without altering what is currently playing.  With JRemote you can do this, but it requires a few clicks instead of just one.

I can't get JRemote to connect to any of my MC servers at the moment so I can't be totally specific, but the general ideas I've outlined are definitely true.

Good luck.

Brian.
