Play Next and Play Later Missing on iTunes (Music) on My iMac

Hi dsmith1010,

Thank you for using the Apple Support Communities! To add a song to the Playing Next queue from Music on your Mac, you'll want to follow the steps below that can help:

Use the Playing Next queue in Music on Mac

1. In the Music app on your Mac, do any of the following to play music:

•Stream songs from Apple Music

•Play songs from your library

•Play CDs

Note: A song needs to be playing before you can use the Playing Next queue.

2. Click the Playing Next button , click Playing Next, then do any of the following:

•Turn Autoplay on or off: Click the Autoplay button at the top of the queue to turn Autoplay on; click it again to turn it off.

When Autoplay is on, the button changes color.

Note: When you turn off Autoplay on a device that uses your Apple ID—your iPhone, for example—Autoplay is turned off on all other devices that use the same Apple ID.

•Play a song in the queue: Double-click the song.

•Add or move a song to the top of the queue: Move the pointer over the song, click the More button , then choose Play Next.

•Change the order of songs in the queue: Drag the songs into the order you want.

•Remove a song from the queue: Select the song, then press the Delete key.

•Remove all songs from the queue: Click the Clear link at the top of the queue.

•Note: To clear part of the queue, click Clear next to an album or playlist.

•See which songs played previously: Click the History link at the top of the queue.

3. Click the Playing Next button again to close the queue.

Tip: To add a song or an album from your library to the Playing Next queue, drag the item from the list of songs to the top center of the Music window until a highlighted border appears.

Hope this helps!

Have a great day.

Same issue for me now, but it's just the "Play Later" that is missing. I have "Play Next" button, which is great. But without the "Play Later" choice, I am basically adding music to a queue in reverse. It wasn't broken; so why "fix it"?
