Grouping Albums

Hi @Hokutorion , I know I'm late, but I wanted to let you know that we've seen your idea and passed it on as feedback to the team, hence the status "Discussion On Going" now 🙂 I hope that this can be implemented in the future 🙂

There used to be a feature at the very beginning of deezer to sort music according to own categories.
I find it almost impossible to manage my 1531 albums without proper sorting...

pretty much as I do with my own collection of CDs.:)

Apparently spotify offers something like that: https://www.pcmag.com/article/317990/get-organized-how-to-organize-your-spotify-playlists

It is such a pain in the ass to keep track of your collected albums when you have a little more than just a small collection: you got an endless list to scroll.

I don't want to ask here for personal tagging (genre, mood and so on). That happened so far in other threads.

Rather than that let me ask for a simple feature that uses the information the deezers catalogue anyway have: date and artist!

Feature request is:

I would like not only to sort the album list by original release date but especially would like also to group the albums by date and artist.

Some examples:
Grouping by artist and sorting by release date gives you a list of all artist and opening an artists node shows you the releases in order of release date.

That would make managment of albums much easier without putting much effort in more complex features.

Yeah, it's a weird approach alright. Albums ARE sorted by Artist at least, but it would be better if they grouped under each Artist like folders. That's kind of what I expected the ARTIST tab to do, with links to 'my' albums and 'my' tracks. But that tab has nothing to do with your own collection at all.

Deezer really needs to step up their game with regard to library structure, but I think their focus is on the automated FLOW playlists.

I am totally fine with favourite artist and tracks being independent from albums. They should stay what they are. On the other hand it is the albums tab that needs more love. Actually it is the place where i want to build up my collection.

Grouping by date and artist would indeed be the the first step. But just that would make handling of a big album collection much easier. just imagine what possibilities you have by combining grouping and sorting of albums.

so let's hope.

Hi there @Krs Sns

Thank you for the feedback. I've moved your comments here so that your suggestion gets looked into as part of the whole album sorting/grouping idea. I'll pass this on 👍🏼

Thanks for contributing too @RoobyDoobie

Sorry, i don't work with albums, but I feel your needs, so you have my vote!
