"My Music" management enhancements (library-oriented)

Thanks for sharing your findings again @raccoonsarecool we'll be passing your comments and @dreamt_bulldozer's ones directly to the people who can deal with this, here at Deezer

I think that’s different. 

This idea is more like this: https://en.deezercommunity.com/ideas/325

Hmmm?! 

I don’t think that going the way of Spotify and other services by linking favourite songs, albums and artists together is a good idea. It is not really what i expect to be a good library.

I advocate to regard that three sections as three libraries with different functions: In favourite artists i want to have that few artists that i really love - the same with favourite songs. An example to the latter one: I am not a fan of an artist and i don’t like his discography, but maybe just one song for whatever reason. Or i discovered an unknown song from an unknown artist and want to rember/keep it. I don’t want to see that artist in the favourite artists section and also i am not interested to see the album in its corresponding section - at least at that point. In the favourite albums tab however i want to build my big collection as a music lover: that section at least in my case is by far the biggest one. I think that is THE reason to keep that three sections separated.

I would like to propose rather to give each section the love and functions it needs:

• album section: give us the opportunity to group the albums by release date, album artist, genre and label (publisher). With grouping i mean nested levels, f.e. if you group by album artist: you have a list or thumbnails of album artists. Then if you click an artist, you are going to see its releases as covers
• In artist section you can put favourite artists in folders, so that you have a folder for rock artists, one for folk singer and another let’s say for female rappers. (by the way: the same for playlists would also be amazing)
• In favourite songs section for me would be enough the list we have now, but i think some people will be amazed to have the opportunity to group by artist, date or genre. Manually created folders on the other hand are not a good idea: that can be done in the playlist section

In my eyes that would be an amazing library. So far there is no streaming service that gives enough love to that. Apple music until now at least have some good points in that regard.

Thanks for reading!

Interesting comparison @Krs Sns and this is the right place for it. It's important to hear all approaches on this so that we get it right. I'll be passing your comments directly to the teams involved 

Very much support this. 

Coming from GPM, it does feel lacking that there’s no “highest level” of hierarchy, i.e library. It was very convenient to have separate favourites and library, and I used them both. I was able to favourite songs not in my library, and add songs to my library without them necessarily being favourites.

I wholeheartedly agree with @Krs Sns. Coming from Apple Music, it’s really nice to have “control” over my library. My Apple Music library was a mess filled with unnecessary albums and artists, just because I added 1 song I liked from an artist or album I have no intention to ever check out again.

Deezer’s (and now Spotify’s) approach is much better IMO because I can add what I want in my library, and not basically get artists or albums “forced” in my library.

This is a really good Idea. I am Casting my vote in this. For some reason, I definitely feel my experience with deezer was different from the conventional without knowing exactly why. Certainly being able to add or remove songs from library, and sorting or grouping by album, artists, etc. will improve users’ experience.
