Summary:
The “Up Next” queue should operate at the level of abstraction that the user specifies when inserting items into the queue. If a user adds an album to the up next queue, the album should be displayed as one item there. The same goes for playlists: if a user adds a playlist to the up next queue, the playlist should be displayed as one item there.

Steps to Reproduce:
Add an album to the “Up Next” queue.

Expected Results:
I expect that album to be treated as one complete unit. I do not expect that adding an album is simply a shortcut for adding all of its songs to the “Up Next” queue.

Actual Results:
Adding an album to the “Up Next” queue is treated as a shortcut for adding all of its songs to the queue.
