Automatically set "Artistname - Albumname" as playlist name, when creating a playlist from an album

Automatically set "Artistname - Albumname" as playlist name, when creating a playlist from an album

 

Operating System

Any Android

 

My Question or Issue
When creating a new playlist directly from the context menu (3 dots button) of an album on Spotify for macOS (probably also on Windows and Linux), the new playlist is automatically named "$ARTIST - $ALBUMNAME". Since I've created the playlist form an album, it's very likely that this would be the perfect name for the playlist.

 

Unfortunately, this behaviour is different in the Android app: There, when selecting "create playlist" -> "new playlist" from the context menu of an album, you get a blank textbox where you can (or must) enter a name of the playlist.
Especially with complex album or artist names, this can be annoying on a mobile keyboard.

As about 95% of the time, I create playlists from an album (even if I add songs or other albums to it), I would love to at least be able to configure the same behaviour on Android as I got used to on the macOS app. 

 

Regards,
Philipp

Hey Philipp,

 

That's a great idea! I'd recommend creating an idea for this here so it will get out there for the community and the Spotify team to consider.

 

Thanks for your post!

Hi dinomight,

thanks, I actually thought that was what I did, but this platform continues to confuse me.
I have posted it as an idea now - I hope. 🙂
