I think we need to make clear in which case a queue feature is useful. The
current "worklow" of amarok is that you take your songs from the library and
put it in the playlist. Now you can rearrange the songs right inside the
playlist and there is basically no need for an additional queue.

This is ok as long as all your media is accessible through the library. I
personally use the queue if I'm at a party where various people bring their
music on usb media. I just drop everything into the playlist and manage it
with the queue.

If amarok can search/filter the usb media as easy as the playlist then I
don't really need a queue. Maybe it is possible to treat removable media
like a temporary library which is automatically deleted when the device is
removed. But by now the integrated filebrowser doesn't fit my needs because
it just makes use of the filenames.

Can this be a solution? What do you think?

BTW: sorry if my grammar isn't the best but I'm no native english speaker.

I went through both links and it seems I fail to see the obvious.
Call me ignorant or stupid but how it is possible that there is mutual
agreement among core Amarok developers that there is no need for the Queue
Manager? As far as I know, there is no way for you to simply drag/drop
couple
of songs from the current playlist and have a VISIBLE status of your current
queue. Scrolling up and down through your current playlist to find all songs
you have in queue is something I can hardly call user friendly, simple and
intuitive. And what about when you try to change the position of 25th song
in
the queue to 35th out of 50? Err. Guess what? Not possible.

@Marius: It is obvious that you have knowledge to implement this, what about
creating a plugin/script? I am 100% sure that people would really appreciate
this.

Cheers

@bassslave: 100% true. Queuing in amarok 2.X is really a bad joke.
Completely
unusable.
