The basic audio component does not allow for any previous/next at this time. Like @thienhungf said, you would have to have a list on your screen to go to another song.

@Erlan_Abdishamilov the current audio component is very limiting. I made a Feature Request a few weeks ago to enhance the audio component, but it didn’t get any traction. I hope it’ll make it to a development sprint one day. I have over 4,000 tracks in my app and this would be very helpful.

> Hi all, After using Glide for the past few months, I really only have one thing that I personally would like to enhance: the audio component. I know there are some playback limitations depending on device (iOS/Android), so I’m not even going to go there. However, I’m wondering if there are other things that can be done to the audio component that might not require Apple to loosen its grip on app development.

> Since the audio player stops playing when iPhone locks (around 50% of mobile devices in the USA are iPhone!), and it prevents us, creators to then include audio files or even soundcloud URLs, to create awesome apps for podcasts, radio stations, etc. Wouldn’t it make sense for the Glide team to create their own media player that will work on iPhone as well somehow? Is it possible to do?
