[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

Definitely... As someone who like to listen to whole albums, and appreciates the thought that goes into their composition and running order as well this gets a + 1 fomr me. Please for the love of everythign nice, implement this on Xbox...

Please add this feature! It would make it so much easier to organize music.

Isnt this like using folders? I have tons of folders and nestered folders inside like collections of playlists. BUT only  creatioj of folders are only accesible on pc/mac client but no in mobile app. Anyway, i can access them on mobile. Maybe this existing feature needs to be updated, like now i cant shuffle the whole folder on mobile (i can on mac anyway)My main viewInside the “metal” collection.

 We realy need this!

Since I don't listen to the same music at home as at the bar where I work, I would realy love this feature!

It would help me a lot with sorting all the different albums I have in my library.

And I have to say, nice template !

Yes, I also have tons of folders, but they're not useful if you wan't to
classify your music in more than one category, which you could do if you
could apply two or more tags to the same album.

I went through the Spotify Web API to see if it would be possible to manage externally, and it seems it's not, as Spotify doesn't expose the folders/categories of a user library (to the API it's a flat list). Also, to sort a library, it seems it has to be re-created. So, at the moment that's not a feasible option either, even if you can code.

YES, YES, YES. Yes, please. This would be the best thing ever (in combination with lifting the 10K library limit)! I really hope Spotify listens and introduces this. Thank you so much for posting this and visualizing it, too!

Man, I really love this idea. 

I HATE the 10,000 Your Music track save limit with a passion because it doesn't let me build an album collection. I basically have a playlist that has the first song from each album I want to save that serves as my "Collection" but I like this even more. Spotify really needs to get better about the Library Management concept. I think the way Your Music works is Spotify's biggest weakness by far.
