I don't like that wording "Play Queue". I would find that more confusing but that might just be me.

Per Dictionary.com, a queue is a "a file or line, especially of people waiting their turn" or a "Computers. a FIFO-organized sequence of items, as data, messages, jobs, or the like, waiting for action.". I couldn't think of a better word. Also, in the app, there are individual play buttons by each title to play as well as the "Play" button at the top which can lead to confusion.

Works for me. I did say "similar wording".

Thank you, looking forward to seeing this in the next release.
