Play queue on song station

I'm possibly looking to switch over from Spotify to iTunes/Apple Music, but I'm having trouble getting around some quirks of iTunes. I tend to use song stations frequently for the sake of discovering new music, however, I can't seem to find a visible queue (what's coming up next) anywhere in iTunes - is this something that, for some undiscernible reason, just doesn't exist? I often insert songs using "Play Next" (assuming it actually functions, that is - it usually doesn't), and I would like to possibly put it back by a couple songs, rather than immediately following the song I'm currently listening to.

Windows, Windows 10

Howdy tomaj84,


Thanks for posting in the Apple Support Communities.


For assistance with checking what's playing next, take a look at the steps below to see if that will help. Additional information can also be found here: Play songs in iTunes on PC


Change what’s playing with the Up Next list

You can use the Up Next list to view and change which songs play next. For example, if you’re listening to a playlist, you can choose an album to switch to after the song currently playing finishes. When the album finishes, iTunes resumes playing the playlist.

1. In the iTunes app on your PC, choose Music from the pop-up menu at the top left, then click Library.

2. Play a song, album, or playlist in your iTunes library by double-clicking it, or selecting it and clicking the Play button.

Note: A song needs to be playing before you can use Up Next.


3. Click the Up Next button, click Up Next, then do any of the following:.
Play a song in the list: Double-click the song.
Add or move a song to the top of the list: Right-click the item, then choose Play Next.
Change the order of songs in the list: Drag the songs into the order you want.
Remove a song from the list: Select the song, then press the Delete key.
Remove all songs from the list: Click the Clear link at the bottom of the list one or more times.

4. Click the Up Next button again to close the list.

Tip: To add a song or an album to the Up Next list, drag the item from the list of songs to the top center of the iTunes window until a highlighted border appears.

You can click History in the Up Next list to see which songs played previously.

If you quit iTunes, the Up Next list is automatically saved for the next time you open iTunes.


We hope that information is able to clear up what you're looking to do. If not, provide details on which step isn't working. If you're not seeing a specific option or feature, let us know which one so we can better assist you.


Have a great day!
