Feature Request: Auto Add to Middle
-
Not sure the best way to word this, but here is the scenario. Let’s say I have 10 episodes in Up Next and the first 5 are parts 1-5 of a series that I want to listen to uninterrupted. I don’t want a podcast to auto insert at the top because I want to listen to these 5 episodes first.
We currently have the option to Auto Add new episodes to the Top or the Bottom. For those podcasts I set to auto download, I only add them to the top. I don’t add them to the bottom because I have about 80 in Up Next, some I want to listen to soon, others I will get around to eventually. Adding to the top causes the issue I mentioned before, so I would like the option to set a “middle bar” (in my example between 5 and 6), then have the option to add to Middle which would add an episode in 6th position below the top 5 I don’t want interrupted, but top of the rest in the Up Next list.
So as I listen to those 5 episodes one by one, the bar would rise as each episode is archived until the bar eventually reaches the top and remains there. Maybe tomorrow I download a 3-part series and still have 15 in Up Next, then I would want to be able to move the bar between 3 and 4.

That’s a creative and well-thought-out idea. I’ve added it to our ideas board for the team to consider. The more community interest it gets, the better its chances of being prioritised.
