How to view, modify or clear Spotify queue?

The queue is the temporary version of a playlist. You don’t need to create a playlist for some random songs crossing your mind.

You can add them individually to the queue, and Spotify will continue playing one after one, just like it does for a playlist.

And if you mistakenly add a wrong song to the queue, you can remove it so you don’t ruin your mood.

You can also re-order the queue if you want. Re-ordering is also simple; drag and drop songs in order.

Spotify desktop and mobile apps have a queue feature, but you may not recognize the queue icon.
