Group Library by Artist then Album A-Z on the Ipad App

[TED209]

There are many similar ideas to this going around but I think this is the easiest way to implement a sensible library management system within spotify, by making changes to the Library system's functionality. It's slightly different to other suggestions which is why I've posted as a new idea. Importantly, this needs to happen on the iPad app.

This idea would simply allow people to have a "traditional" record collection within Spotify which is what many, if not most users actually want. It is similar (but improved) to the Rdio "collection."

Functionality

Starring a song adds the artist and song to your library

Starring an album adds the artist and album to your library

Starring an artist adds adds them and all their albums to your library

Everything is grouped, first by a user determinable category, then by artist. Artist appears as a 1 line summary.

Buttons at the top determine groupings - A-Z then Artist, Genre then Artist, Decade then Artist

An A-Z filter allows quick access to Artist and Genre when in that sorting mode. This becomes a timeline in Decade mode.

Each time you drill to Artist there is a "more" button which links to the Artist Spotify page.

Rather than choosing to make all Library tracks offline this is done at Artist, Album and Track levels with a button by the title.

The Library system then becomes the ultimate collection management tool and playlists then go back to what they truly should be - mixtapes.

In my opinion this is the most important update to the iPad/Desktop/Mobile apps that Spotify could make.

Hello folks,

We have passed this along internally so the team is considering it and thinking of good ways to display it. Check this thread out for future updates. We will keep you posted.

Thanks for your feedback and contribution.

ps: Ive changed the title to make it more specific and easier for us to update it.

I am totally excited by this; seriously, you guys will win back customers and it will make the app so much better to have automatic library management! Total thumbs up!

I have always missed this feature. If it won't be available soon, i'll turn to Samsung Music Hub.

Android app needs this now... 

[Smartd]

This simply has to be implemented. I cannot believe it is not there currently.  Best sort this before apple launchSE their own streaming service.....

on every mobile app

[Reanimator]

Yes, this is the main reason I use Rdio & don't like using spotify. So annoying that you have to save playlists (which aren't sorted by artist or even alphabetical).

What a mess.

please make this happen!

Any status on this?

[bjarteao]

This is what a lot of users want when they're asking for the option to "star" albums/artists, so lots of kudos to this one.

I don't get why it says "iPad" in the title, though. This is a THE missing feature on all platforms, which constantly makes me consider going back to WiMP.
