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

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

You can create playlist folders in the desktop app of Spotify and also play them in shuffle mode, but not in their web player or mobile apps anymore.

My comment was to the idea of filtering the playlist by genre, not about the playlist folder. @Rudi transferred my comment here, but I was talking about something else (in another thread).

Anyhow, thank you for the info. I have a friend that moved to Deezer because of this removal in the mobile app.

Hey @korg250

We'll look at sorting by genre when organising or grouping music in their respective section 😉

It seems this thread has drifted away from the simple request of being able to sort playlists into folders.  Maybe it veered back, but I got tired of reading off subject posts.  
I would just like to add my vote to the ‘folder sort for playlists’ idea with a caveat.  I recently switched from Spotify which went from an awesome app to an annoying disappointment rife with bugs and instability..  I think they tried to do many things with less than competent than programmers.  If the truly awesome smooth Deezer app will go the way of Spotify than just leave it as is.  I will still love it.

Thank you for the feedback@JadeRiver, it's very honest and appreciated. All ideas and suggestions from this forum are increasingly monitored these days. So this one isn't an exception - your vote counts.

completely agree

  1. Possibility to “tag” albums in own way like: listen again, 5 of 10, LabelName. So, every album can has more than one tag and it’s very flexible way.
  2. Same style as playlists for tracks, but for albums.

Or something better? I'm almost completly sure that like/unlike is not enough for big music collection.

Hey @Yuri Be 

Thanks a lot for the suggestion. I think it definitely complements the idea. We'll pass it on, our team is looking into tags :wink:

Wow this would save me a lot of time organising playlists. But not folders. Meta-tags! That way it could be person, label, sub-genre, country, etc. but let me select multiple tags too (eg I might want to hear songs from a few similar sub-genres). 
 

Oh but following on from @Yuri Be , have pre-defined tags set by Deezer, but the ability to add your own tags on top of that would be great too. And when you add a song to favourites, there’s a button on the notification to add tags.

A feature that would benefit the power users of Deezer greatly, would be the addition of folders for playlists.

This would allow users to create a more structured archive of all the playlists they have in their collection. What would make it even more useful is if you could shuffle all playlists tracks in a given folder. This is something Spotify had, that they ripped away from users and it never made it’s return again.

It would be awesome to see this feature make a return on the better service :wink:
