It would be great if you could group playlists like into folders

Agreed, for me it's really a must. I like to make a lot of playlists for artists, genres, moods, recommandations, etc... Without ability to organize them, it's a bit of a mess. I really want a solution for this.

It would be great if we were able to group the favorite artists/albums/playlists either by genre or with custom groups. Currently it can be quite chaotic. Thanks!!

Make it so that your albums songs and artists can be listened to according to genre.
Right now you can only listen to genre outside of your own music.

For example, say I want to listen to a mix of all my music, but I have a wide range of music including rap and classical. Now, I might not be in the mood for classical and only for rap, but if there was a way to sort my music by genre I could simply go to rap and listen to only the rap songs I added.

I would like to add that playlist folders can be a workaround for the problem of max. 2k tracks in playlists, too. As it seems, this technical limit will not be raised anytime soon in Deezer, so having playlist folders where we can move and sort single playlists to and also play the whole folder in shuffle mode if possible would circumvent this limitation.

This is a great idea, and one missing from all streaming services (AFAIK).

Summary:
  • My favourites have become a huge mix of different music genres. I'd like to be able to tell Deezer to create playlists made from all tracks that are in my favourites, based on a theme or genre that I select.
  • I'd love this on my mobile devices more than anything, but I use the web player as well, could be useful there.
When I'm out and listening to Flow or a mix via my mobile phone, to save myself time, I commonly add a new track to my favourites (by tapping the heart icon), instead of adding it to a specific playlist. I always promise myself that I'll go through my Favourites and break them down into playlists based on genre, but have I done? No.

My favourite has now grown to 350+ tracks (and it show no signs of stopping!) that are a huge mix up of different genres and they're all added in no particular order.

The problem with this, is when I playback my favourite tracks I'll often get a surprise when I'm listening to a chilled out track and then the next track is dubstep, it's just a bit over the place. I love all the tracks, I just wish I had an automatic way to group them together by a theme or genre when I want to listen to them again.

I'd love to be able to tell Deezer to create a playlist from the tracks in my favourites, based on a genre, mood or perhaps several artists (like with channels), so for example I tell it to create an EDM playlist and it searches my favourites and collects all music from that genre and creates a playlist for me.


Exactly my issue and wish.

I tried to create different playlists for each genre, but there's no way of knowing if a particular favorite track is already on a playlist (there is no visual mark) so the process is tiresome.
