Group and Categorize Playlists in personal Library

[megwilks]

It would be great for users to create custom labels and / or categories for Playlists that are added to our personal library to make them easier to group and keep track of for the user (e.g. by genre, occasion, season, etc.).

There was an older recommendation from Sept 2021 where Spotify feedback states you can create Folders for Playlists in your library on the Desktop app at least, but it seems that capability no longer exists.

Allowing users to create Folders or Categories would be a great boost to engagement since it would encourage following or liking more Playlists overall, as well as making them easier to find.

Hey there @megwilks, 

Thanks for reaching out about this here in the Community. We moved your post from the Ideas board to the relevant Help board, where it fits better.

You can still create folders on the desktop app to organize your playlists better. You just need to follow the steps here.

If you need a hand with anything else, the Community is here for you.

I agree, that this would mitigate a lot of clutter and confusion for user's libraries. There's currently no way to categorize the 'Albums' category and if Spotify is still playlist-focused, then this would be a great addition that would help users catalog their favorite albums by genre within a single playlist or shuffle those albums via genre / maybe even categorize songs that you've liked by an artist that aren't on albums you've liked by that same artist (right now going to the artist and seeing your liked songs, it lists all songs).

Hi there @ArGii!

Looks like a similar idea has already been suggested here, so feel free to check it out and show your support! Note that despite its status, the idea is open for voting, so you can still give it a thumbs up. We revisit such ideas on regular intervals and it just might be that their time would be right in the future.

In case you had something else in mind, you can always submit your own idea on our Idea Exchange board. Others who'd also love to see it on Spotify can give your idea a thumbs up and share their feedback.

Before posting your submission though, I recommend checking out our series of articles which go in-depth on how Ideas work, starting with this one.

Cheers!
