Group/sort playlists/albums/artists/genres into folders

Please let us know if you do find something that can handle it! Same boat here.

1. Start Deezer trial
2. Immediately discover only flat playlist organization with giant icons, no list view - basically the bare minimum possible 
3. Google “deezer playlist folder”
4. Find four year old topic on community forum about playlist folders with nothing done
5. Sigh, cancel Deezer, check back in 4 years?

I saw a community manager say (8 months ago) people were not being specific enough in this thread (??), so here goes.

Please give us the ability to make a folder for playlists. In said folder, give us the ability to add playlists (and subfolders!) so we can group them. Then, in the playlist tab, you could add a sorting option 'Folders/Maps/etc’ to select for the people who have made folders. There could also of course be a separate tab for it, whatever's the preference for the people implementing this feature.

For example (aka what I had in Spotify), I would like to make a folder 'Spotify Playlists’. In that folder, I'd like to have subfolders like 'Workout’, 'Moods’, 'Concentrate’, 'Roadtrips’, 'User Playlists’, that all contain the playlists I added. I'd also like to have a separate folders for my playlists like 'Musicals’, 'Soundtracks’, 'Albums’, 'Writing Music’, 'Older Playlists’, 'New Playlists’, whatever, everyone has their own things they want to sort, but if we can make our own folders, we can utilise it however we want!

Basically, look at how Spotify (desktop) allows folders. Many of us come from Spotify and would be delighted to have something similar with Deezer.

I don't know how we could make it more clear how a feature like this could work for so many of us. I have nearly 500 playlists. The fact that this feature isn't available despite the obvious demand for it over the years is a tiny bit ridiculous. I really don't want to go back to Spotify but I'm drowning in playlists, please help :(

This feature is pretty important for how I listen to music and use it as a productivity/relaxation tool. Its absence will probably make me stick to spotify after my hifi trial ends despite deezer’s better quality.

Coming from spotify, being able to create a folder hierarchy of “mix list”->”genre”->”individual artist playlist” would let me create my own daily mix lists which include the genres I’m in the mood for to keep things fresh.

Folders also give some essential organization, compiling self made and found playlists in a genre folder make it much easier to navigate to music. Having a single playlist layer is too overwhelming, and making genre compiled playlists requires too much upkeep.

Folders would solve all these issues, though one limitation of folders I’ve noticed is that a playlist/subfolder can only report to one parent folder. If you wanted to offer an even better organization service than Spotify/Tidal, adding a label attribute to playlists (similar to JIRA tickets) and being able to sort and shuffle play via one or more labels could be better?

Labels essentially being a meta folder that doesn’t dedicate a child item to only one parent folder. For more user friendliness, this system could be disguised in a folder UI and just let people add playlists/subfolders into multiple parent folders.

Tidal has a feature like this, Apple Music has a much better one. Spotify is mostly for casual listeners, so maybe that’s what Weezer aims for as well rather than active listeners and music enthusiasts.

I’d be happy with just folders, but wow, labels are a fabulous idea that I’d also like to see.

My free trial is about to end and the lack of this feature is making me think to return to Spotify. There are some other minor things that would contribute to this decision, but this one is really important to me.

Hello @mournfulpigeon, this is something we are actively working on. 

It’s a project that takes time, as we want to make sure to label all the catalogue correctly. 

Unfortunately I don’t know how long you will have to wait, but we are on it! 

Playlist folders are absolutely necessary
