"Play Next" option for single track

In prior versions of the Music app, you could right-click on a track and choose "Play Next" to insert the selected track as the next song to play in the "Playing Next" queue. This option has been removed from the current version (1.1.2.28) for a single track, but remains in the right-click menu for a full album or playlist. What gives? Why would this function be eliminated?

It's there in my copy of Music (1.1.2.28):



If it's not there in your app try the following in order:


1 - Log into another vanilla admin user account, Set up users, guests, and groups on Mac and see if the problem persists. (This tells us if the problem is limited to your user account or is system wide).


2 - Boot into Safe Mode by booting with the Shift key held down and check there to see if the problem persists.  Reboot normally and test again.


NOTE: Safe Mode boot can take up to 10 minutes as it's doing the following; 

• Verifies your startup disk and attempts to repair directory issues, if needed

• Loads only required kernel extensions (prevents 3rd party kernel/extensions from loading)

• Prevents Startup Items and Login Items from opening automatically

• Disables user-installed fonts 

• Deletes font caches, kernel cache, and other system cache files


Have you run any "cleaning", "optimizing", "speed-up" or anti-virus apps on your Mac?
