Bluesound


Anyone try the new node update ? After the last update I'm afraid to.

found a workaround for the disappearing que problem.  Let's say that you have 10 songs in your current que.  If you search an album and just hit the album it will delete your que and replace it with the album you selected,

The workaround:  If you want to add an album and retain your que, hit the 3 dots (aka hamburger) next to the album and you get options.  If you hit "add next", it will insert the album after what ever is playing and retain the que.  If you hit "add last" it will add the album at the end of your que and retain everything above it.  Hope this helps, cheers.

 Actually, a couple of days ago I realised that procedure would work. But it only took a second for me to screw up and click on an album in my Favorites. Queue status...gone.

I do appreciate you sharing this workaround with the forum.

I found a video explaining how the Bluesound cueue works. It showed how to build a "que list" and then choose any album in the library and play it. Go back to queue and now that album has been added.

This is how BluOs has always worked until the latest updates. BUT this was an old instructional video using an early firmware version.

But what problem were they trying to solve??? What was wrong with the old way when u didn't lose your queue? Assenine. In my experience, with pretty much with all software, they updated to solve problems often known only to them and create more for the user.  I think k at first it's mostly about the user but then that becomes less so with every update (I'm talking to you Win11). 

I’m using Android. Does the queue feature have limited function for anyone else on this thread? I know I’ve hijacked the thread, but the OP’s question has been answered.

I guess I'll contact Bluesound.

 

I bought a Bluesound Node at Christmas from Crutchfield because it was on sale for the holiday season. Well, the first unit that arrived here wouldn't update or do much of anything except illuminate it's LED's. Called Crutchfield and the technical response was great. The CS rep sent me a new unit that he personally updated and everything has been bliss there after. I have updated it a few times since the holiday season without any problems. I know that there are better DAC's out there but the Node is the best bang for the buck !
