SUMMARY
Feature request: stop/pause playback after current track
I would like to pause the playback when the current track ends. Then I would like to be able to resume to the next track.
I think Amarok had this.

What's the use case?
Comment 2 Aroun 2023-05-24 11:43:23 UTC 
The use case is that I am playing an album or a playlist in Elisa. Then I have to go somewhere. I want to pause the music, but not in the middle of the track. I want the track to finish before leaving. Then, when I come back, I want to resume the music from the beginning of the very next track. It can be useful for audiobooks as well. "Stop after current track" can mean "stop after current chapter". And be able to resume from next chapter is just a nice feature imo.

Workarounds are: wait for the track to finish and hopefully stop at the right time, or remove the rest of the playlist and manually add it later.

Amarok had this, see https://docs.kde.org/trunk5/en/amarok/amarok/references.html and https://docs.kde.org/trunk5/en/amarok/amarok/amarok_amarokmenu2-4.png
Guayadeque, strawberry, and probably other players also have this.

All right, sounds reasonable.
