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

An essential feature that was suggested years ago, so perhaps will never happen.

It would be extremely useful, though. surely this wouldn’t be too hard to implement. Even using very broad definitions of genres would be fine.

Hey :) Have you heard anything new on this from Deezer HQ?

I'm on free trial and I'd like to know if I could cancel my Spotify subscription or, if I can't make playlist folders, stay at Spotify.

Cheers

Sorry @nightfire, unfortunately this has not been considered a prority for now… 

We will have to wait longer to be able to organise our music in folders 

Idea created 5 years ago so it will probably never be implemented. A lot of people will look for an alternative to Spotify now (like me) after the terrible app redesign and radio silence regarding HiFi. The best way to make sure these people stay is to offer the basic functionality that they were used to (especially that existing Deezer users want it too!).

What a missed opportunity...

Agree 100% with need for folders.  Spotify and Tidal both have the ability to create folders for playlists.  Deezer’s service and apps are great overall,. but this is that one feature I really wish it had.

This is in the top 10 most voted ideas across the entire Deezer community...why on earth would this not be a priority? More than a few people consider this a dealbreaker for switching over to Deezer, including me. I guess Deezer is just as bad as Spotify when it comes to listening to the community. Guess I’ll keep looking elsewhere for a good music streaming service.

Really disappointed to see this thread. I’ve been a Spotify premium subscriber for over 10 years simply because of the effort it takes to switch services. The most recent Spotify updates have been bad enough to finally get me to switch.

My main problem with the spotify update is that “My Library” has been relegated to a sidebar, rather than the full screen. This makes it essentially impossible to organise my folders of playlists, especially when there are sub folders and the like.

I was super exited to start the deezer trial, it felt like a weight was being lifted and that I was finally free from Spotify. Only to find, after importing my 900+ playlists (not including playlists from other people that I follow) that there’s no way to organise them!!

Since other people in this thread mentioned mods claiming that people weren’t communicating clearly, here’s what I want:

Let’s say I have 100 playlists.

I want to be able to make a folder, for example: “Rock Playlist Folder,” “Pop Playlist Folder,” etc. I move 50 playlists into “Pop Playlist Folder,” and 49 into “Rock Playlist Folder.” One playlist is left over.

Then on my main Playlists screen (since Deezer seems to be missing a ‘my library’ page too...) I don’t see an overwhelming list of 100 playlists. I see one playlist, and two folders. When I click on “Pop Playlist Folder,” then that shows the 50 playlists inside.

TL;DR Probably won’t even bother continuing my free trial. Really, really disappointed because like many people, I desperately want to jump ship from Spotify. But this lack of basic organisational options means that deezer just isn’t a viable alternative for me.

I’ve upvoted this for the sake of having some kind of organisation, but I think playlist tagging would be preferable to folders. I’ve made a case for this in case anyone is interested.

Exploring your app after leaving Spotify and bummed to see playlist folders isn’t an option on Deezer. I have so many playlists that grouping them really helps reduce the chaos. It helps find stuff quicker while driving as well.

Seems like a simple thing to implement and I think it could really benefit users. It took me a while to realize Spotify had the feature so I had workarounds, but when I discovered it, it was a game-changer.

Hope you listen to your users more than Spotify has because that was a main reason I left their platform: “innovation” on useless features and ignoring the simplest improvements that users were actually asking for on a daily basis. This is an opportunity for Deezer to stand out above the competition.

Folders for playlists!
