[Your Music] Creating "Collections" of Albums

I have an idea that could make using Spotify better for people who put a lot of effort into managing their music libraries (and for everyone else as well).

 

Collections menu in Your LibraryCollections menu in Your Library

 

The idea is simple: Being able to create collections or lists of whole albums. Of course you could just add albums to regular playlists but then it just adds the songs separately, which is messy, so you can't easily see which or how many albums are there in the list or checking if there are missing songs.

 

You can add and remove whole albums to collections, much like songs to playlistsYou can add and remove whole albums to collections, much like songs to playlists

 

By having album collections we could easily see which albums are added to them and it would make it quicker to select certain albums for downloading by toggling the download button of a collection containing them. We could also re-order the list of albums quicker than re-ordering a simple playlist of consecutive albums broken down to songs.

 

This would also make it possible to listen to certain albums in a specific or even random order without having to add every album to the queue one by one.

 

You can download/un-download every album in the collection with one tap, you can also either play the albums in order or shuffle them, or even shuffle all songs within the albumsYou can download/un-download every album in the collection with one tap, you can also either play the albums in order or shuffle them, or even shuffle all songs within the albumsAdding or removing albums from collectionsAdding or removing albums from collections

Awesome feature!

mattnorthaudio

This is EXACTLY the feature I’ve been crying for. Perfectly illustrated as well. Spotify, please implement!

Let's try to get Spotify to give us this feature. What's not to like about it?

For God sakes do this, or something! Some way to organize saved albums other than literally 500 albums alphabetically in one folder. This is the only problem with spotify, but it's a huge problem. It makes building a music collection in the app so difficult!

orienteer-gb

So right. I just cannot understand why this is not a standard feature built in from day one. When those 500 albums are totally different genres it makes even more sense to be able to organise them in different folders.

rabock

yes.. would like to have this feature as well. Makes so much sense

This would be really helpful and could be used for managing playlists as well

You are able to create folders and can put your playlists into these. 

The presented feature is needed for albums.
