@Yula genres is not the main thing people are asking for in this thread (although it is a nice idea!). The basic problem we all have is hundreds of favorites and or playlists and a need to organize them. One way would be folders, another way would be user defined tags. It sounds like genres will be tags defined by Deezer but this is not generic enough as different people see their collections in different ways.

Playlist folders are an absolute necessity--it’s the number one reason I haven’t made the switch from Spotify to Deezer! I’m someone who is obsessed with making a playlist for everything. I think I literally have hundreds of curated playlists on Spotify, many of which are sorted into custom folders. A feature like this might get me to finally cancel Spotify and subscribe to Deezer.

Hi there @Benoit Robert

Great feedback and suggestion, linking with the idea you created :wink:

The good thing is that our product managers are looking into this next year, because we want to make it more personalised for you :thumbsup_tone2:

It’s been a year. Is there a better channel so we can get updates on this?

I would very much like to organise my playlists by folders, not genre. I have music I listen to while driving and working (country and blues), cycling (mostly Southern rock) and swimming (mostly metal and grindcore), it would be much more helpful to let me lable and sort myself rather than rely on Deezer’s tags/ genre classifications

You are absolutely right. I also have several styles that I put together in one folder. I think it's worth giving customers the option to make personal adjustments

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 :(

What he says!

I am quite new @Deezer. Thought to give it a try since the Spotify app sucks more and more as the years go by.
I really like that you offer an external service for migrating your playlists.
But...what a mess it is now. I migrated ~190 playlists….and there is no option to organize them? All packed into to one tree/structure/directory? And after 5 years nothing apparently nothing has happened? - Why?
