Abstract
Methods and systems for prioritizing playback of media content in a playback queue are described herein. In one aspect, a client device plays a first media item from a playback queue. The playback queue includes a first portion having a plurality of media items with respective positions that define an order in which the media items are to be played. While playing the first media item, a first user input indicating selection of a second media item is detected. In response to the first user input, the second media item is assigned to a second portion of the playback queue, wherein the second portion has playback priority over the first portion. After playing the first media item, the second media item is played before playing other media items of the plurality of media items in the first portion.
