Abstract

Embodiments of the present disclosure provide a music playing method and apparatus. The method includes: displaying a first page of a music application, where the first page includes at least one custom queue, and each custom queue includes at least one piece of music to be played; acquiring a first instruction acting on the custom queue; and playing the music to be played in the custom queue according to the first instruction. The custom queue is displayed on a fixed area of the first page, so that after entering the first page, the user can directly play the music of interest without the need of frequent page skipping, thereby improving the flexibility of music playing.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A music playing method, comprising:
displaying a first page of a music application, wherein the first page comprises at least one custom queue, and each custom queue comprises at least one piece of music to be played;
acquiring a first instruction acting on the custom queue; and
playing the music to be played in the custom queue according to the first instruction;
wherein the displaying the first page of the music application comprises:
acquiring M preset custom queues, wherein M is an integer greater than 0; and
displaying the first page according to the M custom queues, wherein the first page comprises N custom queues of the M custom queues, N is an integer greater than 0, and M is greater than or equal to N.

2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein for any first custom queue among the M custom queues, the acquiring the first custom queue comprises:
acquiring a second instruction; and
acquiring the first custom queue according to the second instruction.

3. The method according to claim 2 , wherein the second instruction is a click instruction, and the acquiring the first custom queue according to the second instruction comprises:
acquiring the first custom queue according to the click instruction acting on the first custom queue.

4. The method according to claim 2 , wherein the second instruction is a search instruction, and the acquiring the first custom queue according to the second instruction comprises:
acquiring at least one preset condition in the search instruction; and
acquiring the first custom queue according to the at least one preset condition.

5. The method according to claim 4 , wherein acquiring the first custom queue according to the at least one preset condition comprises:
for each preset condition, determining at least one sub-queue corresponding to the preset condition; and
taking an intersection of the music to be played in the at least one sub-queue corresponding to the each preset condition to acquire the custom queue.

6. The method according to claim 2 , wherein the method further comprises:
acquiring a third instruction acting on the first custom queue; and
adding the first custom queue to a second page of the music application according to the third instruction.

7. The method according to claim 4 , wherein acquiring the first custom queue according to the at least one preset condition comprises:
determining attribute information of the custom queue according to at least one keyword; and
acquiring the first custom queue according to the attribute information.

8. The method according to claim 1 , wherein displaying the first page according to the M custom queues comprises:
acquiring sequences of the M custom queues; and
displaying the first page according to the sequences and the M custom queues.

9. The method according to claim 8 , wherein displaying the first page according to the sequences and the M custom queues comprises:
when M is greater than a preset number, determining a preset number of preceding custom queues as the N custom queues according to the sequences, and displaying the first page according to the N custom queues; and
when M is smaller than or equal to the preset number, determining the M custom queues as the N custom queues according to the sequences, and displaying the first page according to the N custom queues.

10. The method according to claim 8 , wherein acquiring the sequences of the M custom queues comprises:
acquiring the sequences of the M custom queues according to a generation time of the each custom queue; or,
in response to a first operation of a user, acquiring the sequences of the M custom queues.

11. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the first page is a home page of the music application.

12. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the queue is a radio station, an album, or a playlist.

13. A music playing apparatus, comprising:
at least one processor; and
a memory communicatively connected to the at least one processor; wherein,
the memory stores instructions executable by the at least one processor, and the instructions are executed by the at least one processor, so that the at least one processor is configured to:
display a first page of a music application, wherein the first page comprises at least one custom queue, and each custom queue comprises at least one piece of music to be played;
acquire a first instruction acting on the custom queue; and
play the music to be played in the custom queue according to the first instruction;
wherein the at least one processor is configured to:
acquire M preset custom queues, wherein M is an integer greater than 0; and
display the first page according to the M custom queues, wherein the first page comprises N custom queues of the M custom queues, N is an integer greater than 0, and M is greater than or equal to N.

14. The music playing apparatus according to claim 13 , wherein the at least one processor is configured to:
acquire a second instruction; and
acquire the first custom queue according to the second instruction.

15. The music playing apparatus according to claim 14 , wherein the second instruction is a click instruction, and the at least one processor is configured to:
acquire the first custom queue according to the click instruction acting on the first custom queue.

16. The music playing apparatus according to claim 14 , wherein the second instruction is a search instruction, and the at least one processor is configured to:
acquire at least one preset condition in the search instruction; and
acquire the first custom queue according to the at least one preset condition.

17. The music playing apparatus according to claim 13 , wherein the at least one processor is configured to:
acquire sequences of the M custom queues; and
display the first page according to the sequences and the M custom queues.

18. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium including computer-executable instructions stored thereon, wherein the computer-executable instructions, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to:
display a first page of a music application, wherein the first page comprises at least one custom queue, and each custom queue comprises at least one piece of music to be played;
acquire a first instruction acting on the custom queue; and
play the music to be played in the custom queue according to the first instruction;
wherein the computer-executable instructions, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to:
acquire M preset custom queues, wherein M is an integer greater than 0; and
display the first page according to the M custom queues, wherein the first page comprises N custom queues of the M custom queues, N is an integer greater than 0, and M is greater than or equal to N.
