Ability to Change the Playlist Folder Image

[chalandra]

Hello, I recently found out about playlist folders again on Spotify! It's such a great feature to organize my 50+ playlists that have either been made myself, made by others, or made by Spotify. Another great feature is changing the playlist picture on desktop!

It gives me the creative freedom to spruce up my playlists in the best way; however, it is an eyesore on mobile. 

I believe that Spotify should implement a feature to let users modify folder pictures on desktop (Hopefully they will implement changing either on mobile...) along with playlist pictures. Yes, this idea has been submitted many times, but I hope that this time it can have enough kudos! Thank you for reading!

I like the „folders“ to organize my playlists. But I think it looks a bit boring, so My idea is to change the cover of the folders to create a personal look.

I am well aware of the thousands of submissions before me but this idea really deserves more attention. 

I discovered folders last week on PC and spent a good amount of time designing my own folder cover photos, once I completed the designs, my heart was shattered when I discovered that folders CANNOT be customized. 

I am not a developer but I am married to one, and we both discussed this idea over dinner. Since the code is already implemented for playlists (changing the cover photo of playlists), wouldn't it be easy to add the same concept to the cover images of folders? I am on my PC 10-12 hours a day because of work, it'd be nice to be able to modify the cover photos of my folders. Not only would it be aesthetically pleasing, but it would help users locate their folders quickly. 

I feel like this is a massive oversight of such a great software. I am basically begging the devs at this point lol 

I NEED my folders to look pretty too!!

[All Platforms][Your Library] Change Folder Image - The Spotify Community

Can you believe it’s almost been 4 years since this post and we are STILL asking to be able to simply customize our folder pictures?? I just went through 14 pages of comments and saw a lot of requests for this feature along with the fact that this idea has been going back and forth between “not right now” and “good idea”. 

It would be nice for the Spotify team to listen to its paying users. More customization is all we’re asking for here, not another AI playlist creator.

I would really love to see the ability to add images to playlist folders. You can change the image of the playlist itself, but my folders are kind of an eye sore. Thanks!! Hope to see this feature soon, I use folders to organize my spotify.

Please, it's been years, implement this!!! Being able to desing and organize our libraries is really cool.

If, like me you have hundreds of playlists, you will undoubtedly have organised these into folders and subfolders so that you can find things

With the new Spotify UI where it displays folders as icons instead of names, its less easy to navigate, especially when the pane has been shrunk down.

Adding the ability for users to have custom pictures and descriptions for playlist folders would make navigating and finding your music even easier.
