Q: What happened to "Add to Up Next"?

I just upgraded to iTunes 12.5.1.21. Before, you could right click on a song and hit "Add to Up Next," but that option is gone now     

MacBook Pro (Retina, 13-inch, Mid 2014), OS X El Capitan (10.11.6), null

    I have been wondering about this as well.  they have a 'play next' option, but when you are playing one album and want to add another one it just plays that album after the track you are listening to rather than when the first album is done(like 'add to up next' did).  I guess not a big deal if you listen to singles a lot but a little annoying if you listen to full albums frequently.

    The feature seems to now be called "Play Later" - using that option from a (...) button or a right-click adds the song/album to the bottom of your up next queue in the same way that "Add to Up Next" used to.

    it is weird I never saw that option (only play next) until today right before you posted this.  I am not sure if I was using a different view or something changed in the background that added this, but I am glad they did. 

     

    now the rest of my complaints regarding the new update are purely regarding aesthetics

     

    thanks!

    When I right click on a song, I don't have a "Play Later" option. I'm on iTunes 12.5.1.21.iTunes.jpg

    if you right click or two finger tap the '...' next to the track name it should have the 'play later' option

    Select a song and then press Option+Enter,

    'Play later' may show after that.

    Ahh I got it now. It seems the "Play Later" is only available when something is already scheduled to "Play Next."

     

    If you clear your queue, play a song, you'll notice there's no option to Play Later, only Play Next. Now, after you click Play Next, you'll have the option to Play Later.
