[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

This is a MAJOR feature that Spotify is lacking right now, and it would completely change how I organize my music.

Yes! It's exactly how any kind of serious music collection should be able to be organized

And is more like NOW FINALLY, I can organize my music

apparently they're more concerned about choosing between a heart and a + (at least in the pc version) for liking/saving the music instead of giving a way for their users to organize their albums

carlosgoyeneche

That's just a sad sad shame 😕

the fact that there is no simple way to do something like this is kinda ridiculous after all these years, they basically removed any useful functionality for folders on mobile and have the most limited use of them on PC anyway

Too right. And if you use Spotify on a smart TV there are no folders at
all. Everything is flattened out and the order of playlists bears no
relation to how you want them.

Still waiting after many many years for this basic feature.....
