We should admit that part one for all playlists, opened in the player, so, you can add files to queue from different playlists.
When you add a file to queue a number in square brackets appears, indicating the position of the file in the queue. When the file begins to play from queue (is not started manually), its position resets - the file is deleted from the queue.
To control the queue, you can use the queue manager, which is called either from the context menu [highlighted in the picture], or by pressing hotkeys - Ctrl+Q.
Note 1: “*” symbol, showing in playlist new the file number indicates that the queue is currently suspended.
