Play album from selected song - HareAttack - 2025-08-28
Okay, maybe I am just approaching this the wrong way, but I keep finding friction with Tangara's UI. When I am itching to hear a specific song I will navigate to the artist, the album, and then select the song and it will play. I really wish Tangara would enqueue the rest of the album to play after it. I generally have it on repeat, so I just get stuck hearing the same song until I back out and hit play on the album.
Now, maybe this is just because I was a full time Zune user until now, but I wish the Tangara had:
- No repeat
- Repeat album/playlist
- Repeat 1 song
that worked with selecting individual tracks but still repeating the whole album.

The good news is you're not alone in wanting this feature and it quite likely will get added soon. A recent PR adds support for a context menu that allows for long-pressing an individual track to play just that one, so now there's a way to play just one track manually we could change the default behaviour to a "play from here" action as many users have said they'd expect/prefer. Previously I've not wanted to change the behaviour as it would mean there would be no way to select just one track if that's what somebody wanted to do (and as I often do).
