Queue
The queue is Nokkvi’s active playlist — everything you hear flows through it. You can build it on the fly while browsing, or replace it entirely when you want to listen to something specific.
Adding to the Queue
Section titled “Adding to the Queue”Enter behavior
Section titled “Enter behavior”Pressing Enter on a focused album or track is the most common way to start playing. What it does depends on the enter_behavior setting:
| Value | Behavior |
|---|---|
play_all (default) | Replaces the queue with the full album (or all songs in the current view) and starts playing |
play_single | Replaces the queue with just the focused track |
append_and_play | Adds the item to the end of the queue and starts playing it |
Add without replacing
Section titled “Add without replacing”Shift + A adds the focused item to the end of the queue without clearing what’s already there. Works on individual tracks and on albums (which queues all their tracks).
Library Browser and drag and drop
Section titled “Library Browser and drag and drop”While on the Queue view, press Ctrl + E to open the Library Browser — a side panel with tabs for Songs, Albums, Artists, Genres, and Similar. You can drag tracks from the Library Browser and drop them into the queue at a specific position; a drop indicator shows where they’ll land.
Similar Songs and Top Songs
Section titled “Similar Songs and Top Songs”Nokkvi can ask your Navidrome server for recommendations powered by Last.fm. Triggering either feature automatically switches to the Queue view and opens the Library Browser on the Similar tab.
| Key | Action |
|---|---|
Shift + S | Find songs similar to the focused track, album, or artist |
Shift + T | Find the most-played songs by the focused artist |
Results are limited to songs already in your library — Navidrome matches Last.fm’s recommendations against your local collection, so tracks you don’t own won’t appear. The Similar tab header shows which result set is loaded (e.g. “Similar to: Radiohead” or “Top Songs: Radiohead”).
Both features require Last.fm or ListenBrainz to be configured on the server. See Scrobbling for setup.
Managing the Queue
Section titled “Managing the Queue”| Key | Action |
|---|---|
Shift + Up / Shift + Down | Move the focused track up or down |
Ctrl + D | Remove the focused track |
Shift + D | Clear the entire queue |
Playback Modes
Section titled “Playback Modes”Toggle these from the player bar or with keyboard shortcuts.
| Key | Mode | Behavior |
|---|---|---|
X | Random | Plays tracks in random order |
Z | Repeat | Press once to repeat the current track; press again to repeat the whole queue; press a third time to turn off |
C | Consume | Tracks are removed from the queue as they finish playing — useful for a one-time listening session |
