[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

Come on! You already took too long! Try to remember a good jazz album in your collection..... you can't because you have to scroll thru hundreds of albums of all the generes imaginable!

Spotify be like "What is an album?"

(A miserable little pile of songs).

Spotify come on, it's been years, this feature would save us album listeners SO much time and effort. I don't imagine it's a difficult feature to implement.

I’d like Spotify to cater more for album listeners and have some kind of album collections area. Like playlists, but where you “keep” albums. I’m an album listener, so don’t use playlists often. Sometimes I think to myself “I’m in the mood for chill music, which album(s) could I listen to?” I’d like to be able to go to my “album collections” and go to my “chilled vibe” album collection, where I’ve “stored” albums which suit that mood, and then I could pick one to listen to. Instead of my trying to remember what albums do I fancy listening to now? We could have multiple collections.

Come on Spotify! It's ridiculous we don't have this already.

It's unbelievable, I really wonder where the head of the people in charge is, possibly somewhere below the waist

Currently, Spotify does allow albums to be put in folders. However, albums in folders change the name of the creator into the account's name and not the original creator's name(s). Eg. A Taylor Swift album becomes a playlist I created with my name instead of Taylor's name.
