[Your Music] Creating "Collections" of Albums

[Walrusman]

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 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 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 albumsAdding or removing albums from collections

The fact that we don’t have this in 2024 AND there’s no download button when viewing current playing song is crazy

Completely agree with you, major fallback for this new era

is surreal that this is not implemented yet, i want to organize the albums i like

As a primarily mobile user, I find I often forget about releases I save to my library by virtue of having only one save function being rather unorganized. Having folders or lists where you can place specific releases, much like the files function for playlists already implemented on PC, would be incredibly useful! Placing full albums all into a playlist is rather time consuming and creates unnecessary wasted space when I'd much rather just see the release artwork and title, rather than every single track on it. Alongside that, other works quickly become buried after a few decently sized albums have been added to a playlist, which makes the chances of happening upon a visual reminder of them much less likely.

Agreed, how can Spotify not see what a hassle is to look for one album in a one and only big pile of everything goes! Takes way a lot of time to look for example into your Jazz albums, or rock albums, etc. because everything is scrambled in there.

PLEASE ADD THIS, I LIKE LISTENING MUSIC BY ALBUM AND THIS WOULD HELP ME ORGANIZE MY +200 SAVED ALBUMS. PLEASEE PLEASE ADD THIS.

[carlosgoyeneche]

Please add it! It's a hassle to scroll looking for something to play if all the albums are in just one folder and with no order whatsoever 

[AleaGamer]

Why not right now? Its a good feature. Please spotify i want to create a collection of my favorite albums without having to create playlists, it's more easy and convenient. PLEASE SPOTIFY I'M BEGGING 

[carlosgoyeneche]

Exactly, where are they putting their efforts?? This is important for music lovers and they've been neglecting it for years

[doctoraction]

This is such an obvious feature. Why is there a playlists folder feature but not for albums?! Come on!
