Thank you for the very detailed tutorial. If possible you should take your screen shot to include in the post will be more intuitive.

Thanks for this - very helpful.

Disappointingly, though, it only works for playlists.

I tend not to use playlists as I like to listen to albums in their entirety. I know I can save an album to its own playlist, but that seems like an unnecessary step. It would be great if albums could be placed in folders - there seems be no way to tidy them up.

Probably my comment deserves a separate post, but I don’t know how to create a new post (and the blog post on this topic is only yours), so I will write a comment on yours, hoping to start a dialogue and to know the experience of other users.

What you wrote is true and important, but personally I have questions (and complaints about the lack of functionality) even earlier, at the level of the philosophy of bilding the library itself as such. And, I repeat, I would like to know the thoughts and experiences of other users here.

I know that there are two types of music listeners: those for whom the text is primary and the accompaniment is secondary; and vice versa, those who primarily listen to music, and the words are secondary. Personally, I belong to the second category. (I don't know why, but it's a fact) For me, text is just another audio track. When humming, I can easily accidentally substitute other words if they sound the same as the original without even noticing it. "Meaning" I catch from the music itself.

Based on this approach, I developed my personal classification.
For a better understanding, I made a diagram.

Good - tracks that make me feel positive.
1. “Love from the first note” Agree, there are songs that catch on as soon as you hear them, and then you can listen to them at any time, regardless of mood, weather, situation, and the like. I think everyone has such tracks, the love for which you will carry through your whole life. Remember situations when you are somewhere in your thoughts, and suddenly somewhere on the street you hear one of these tracks, and something inside you instantly switches, goosebumps run through your body, and you start writing with boiling water. 😊😊😊
2. "For the mood". Most likely you associate these tracks with some event or segment of your life. For example: “Song of the trip”, the song under which you had your first **bleep**, or vice versa, your couple broke up, and these tracks were playing with you at that time. In general, these songs are emotions. For example, you are sad now, and you want to listen only to those tracks that you were sad to before. These tracks are very similar to the first category, but still, if you are in a cheerful mood now, then most likely you will not include something boring and dreary, to which you usually feel sad. 🙂
  It is quite possible that these are songs of category 1.1, on which your memories are still superimposed.
3. "For condition". I think playlists for running, workouts, meditation and the like are just that. For example, I love listening to deep trance because it puts me in a certain state. Yes, I have a couple of basic compositions, but in general +- I can like everything there. And this does not mean at all that I am really a fan of this track and it turns me on. It just suits my state of mind.
4. "Interest singl". This is when I hear a new track and find it cute. It's not love at first note, but at the same time, this track somehow resonates with me. In such cases, I would like to somehow mark, so that later I can listen, in a different setting, in a different mood, and already there to give an assessment. Perhaps at that moment I will understand that he is weak, and I will mark him with a dislike so that I will never listen to him again. And perhaps, on the contrary, I will raise his "rating".
"Neutral". As the name suggests, these are tracks that make me neither warm nor cold. It's really "background music". This includes folk art such as Indian songs, various flutes/pipes, children's songs, and the like.
"Bad" - tracks that cause negative feelings in me.
If you go deeper, then this category can also be decomposed into subcategories.
1. "Unloved". I would put here the songs that I can listen to with some effort.
2. "Disgust". This is a situation from the category when a person cannot stand a whole genre. For example, when a person is a fan of classical music, and they turn on furious hardcore. If you look at my example, then, since I listen to music, and not text, then rap, with its recitatives, is rather boring for me and I don’t listen to it.

In this regard, the question is - what philosophy does Spotify adhere to? Because the functionality that they saw depends on it. And here I have a lot of discontent, because I lack the functions I need. Perhaps due to the fact that they make functionality for their own vision, which I just don’t know about.

If anyone knows where it can be found, please direct me.
