Ability to Change the Folder Image

Hello, I recently found out about 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!

This is much needed. I would love to see it added.

 

When I am scrolling through my playlist folders, a custom icon would help me differentiate them more easily.

What a world that would be!

 

Now imagine if you could then use those custom folders on your public profile... users around the world would sing and rejoice.

I like this idea, the folders are neat and I like them, but I do not prefer to use them more because of the eyesore of the grey folder picture. Hope they reconsider soon.

and even more important : allow shuffle play in folders, not only within playlists

Another reason why this would be very useful is when the sidebar is collapsed on desktop.
I have no idea which one is which until I hover over them, which is slightly annoying...

 

Here's an example (this is inside a folder I have that contains 3 more folders):

As I've mentioned, the name is only visible when I hover over them:

Spotify doesn't care about playlist folders. There's a reason you can't create them on mobile. I'm sure they'll be removed outright eventually. How unfortunate that basic features are too much to consider.

Customizing the color of the folders would be SOOOOO awesome.
