Description

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

Currently, using the ownCloud Android client for music playback necessitates manually selecting and playing individual tracks. This interrupts the listening experience and leads to repetitive actions, as the user must repeatedly select and play each subsequent track.

Describe the solution you'd like

Implement a feature enhancement that allows users to initiate continuous playback of an entire directory of songs with a single click. When the "play" button is pressed, the user should be able to enjoy uninterrupted playback of all songs within the selected directory, eliminating the need for repetitive manual track selection and play actions.

Research direction

Start by tracing the Android app's existing music playback flow from the directory view and its play button; the issue names no files or tests. Define the directory-play entry point and verify that selecting it queues and plays all songs continuously without manual track selection.
