[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

I can’t wait for this concept to exist! I’ve been looking for something like this since I’ve subscribed to Spotify in 2015

I think this is a great idea! Smart! 🙂

PLEAAASEE. Many people listen to albums not songs, and its kinda unbelievable that this isn't a feature already

This is a great idea! It is possible on itunes. Spotify should implemment it!!

To add on to this idea of album collections, I think being able to make collections of playlists would be great as well. As someone who mainly uses playlists to manage and explore new music instead of albums, making collections of the numerous playlists I have saved would make sorting through and managing the music saved so much easier and faster.

They had this feature, it was called Playlist Folders and they got rid of it for no good reason.

that would be so much easier than adding all the albums to a playlist and haveing to remove each song manually if you decit to edit the list. 

a play list for my albums!

I want control over each song, as many remasters and special editions contain irrelevant demos and live versions, and sometimes even tracks without singing, so I remove those. The fact that a playlist shows artist and album makes editing simple enough.

Yes, I used to organize my CDs by genre, so why can't we do that with albums in Spotify? Really would be great.

[ardacebi]

Yep, that would be a fantastic idea.
