# Browsers - Play Queue

This is basically your master-playlist. Every track you want to listen to will appear here. You can add songs to the play-queue by opening the context menu (right mouse click) in either the file in the database or the playlist-editor and selecting "Add".

The "Play Queue" browser

TIP: If you enable 'Enable songlist tooltip' in xref:preferences[preferences] pane. Gmpc will show a tooltip with the album cover and some information about the song you are hovering.

# Sorting

You can move a single song to a new location using drag and drop. You can move a single row by selecting it, and dragging it to the new location. To quickly move around multiple songs you can cut, copy and then paste songs within the play-queue. It is even possible to copy songs from other lists and insert them at a certain position in the play-queue.

GTK does not yet provide a method of moving multiple rows using drag and drop. Instead of adding this using dirty hacks, a more robust cut/copy/paste system was added.

# Filter

You can filter the play-queue by pressing 'ctrl-f' or start typing when it is selecting. The playlist filter supports the xref:query-syntax[Query syntax].

TIP: If the filter is slow in updating the playlist, because you are on a slow connection or MPD runs on a slow machine. You can disable search-as-you-type in the Preferences Interface pane.

# Editing columns

You can edit what columns GMPC displays in the play-queue (or any song list), by opening the context menu (right click) and selecting 'edit columns'
