[Mobile] View & Shuffle all Tracks in Playlist Folders

The latest spotify for android update, as well as the newest iOS update, removed the "shuffle all" option for multiple playlists within a folder. I used this feature every day and it's my favorite spotify feature. Please bring it back!

Let's be real guys. Spotify will never implement the Folder Shuffle feature. It has also removed it from the Desktop App. Let's move on.

Fortunately for us we have Playmixify I've been using it for years and it's been great.  I see that it recently updated its UI for better.  Previous users might not find their old Playmixify lists, you'll have to re-create them, but the old created playlists are still in the Spotify app, working flawlessly.  Newly created Playmixify lists will also be synced without issues.   I believe this is a more efficient way of randomly listening to our music, because we can create a list of lists and select the playlists from whenever they are located, not just a particular grouping folder. Much more flexible in my opinion.

Why isn't it an option for mobile already? It doesn't make sense

Hi, should I cancel my subscription? Seems this basic feature is disabled on purpose, all I can think of is that Spotify wants to test how can it be a dictator and the users being slaves. So, Spotify-the-dictator can just laugh at users keeping subscriptions even though they've been denied the most sought features. 
Wait...Apple Music provides this feature....oh...I can escape from Spotify's tyranny.

As a Spotify user who accesses my account through my phone and iPad, I really wish I could edit my Spotify folders on the mobile app. I used to do this on my laptop using the desktop app, but this is no longer an option with my iPad setup. I would love to be able to organize folders within the mobile app. While currently it seems I can create a new playlist within an existing folder, I would like to be able to create new folders and move existing playlists to folders within the mobile app.

In the Spotify desktop app, I can play all my playlists by clicking on the playlist files. However, on iOS I can only play one playlist at a time. It would be great if you could bring the same feature from the desktop app to the iOS version.

Hi Spotify,

 

This functionality WILL make shuffling between playlists an easily accessible feature to any user. Currently 'playing from outside the folder' can only be initiated from the Web App. Once started I can switch to a mobile device BUT i'm locked in to the folder. If I play anything else I have to restart from a Desktop app if I want to shuffle between playlists again. 

 

So by bringing up the play button when long pressing on a folder in the Mobile App. Shuffling between playlists becomes and easily accessible feature. Rather than a hack.

 

Image 1 - Playing from outside the folder in the Web App, then shuffling = Shuffling between the playlists inside.

 

Image 2 - Shows what currently happens when long pressing on a folder in the Mobile App. Add a play button here and we're all good to go

I totally agree!

We need this function on mobile too. Not only for the desktop PC app.
