Rename public made playlist / Adding a personnal "nickname" to public playlists

I like to keep my playlists organized, so i try to use a sort of naming convention to my playlist names so the alphabetical order is organized (mainly by prefixing all my playlists by an identifier from 000 to ZZZ; eg : AA- is for musical category playlists, MM- is for mood playlists, ZZ- is for cool daily mixes i had...).

 

However i can’t rename public playlists in my library. The problem if i duplicate these is i would not have the updates made by creator/community.

 

Also i’d like to refers to some playlists by a name that is more clear to me than the name the creator decides.

 

I’d like a possibility to rename locally the playlist, something similar with the way Steam handles nicknames you can choose for another player: in your friendslist the name you choose is displayed but the “real” nickname of the user is displayed in parenthesis next to it.

Hi thre. When you say public playlists do your mean the playlists created by our editors?

I did not know they were a distinction. I mean the playlist that are accessible by everyone (on the playlist page of deezer, there is ‘private’, ‘public - collaborative’ or ‘public’ written below the playlist name).

All you do is tap the 3 dots next to the playlist you want to rename and choose 'add to playlist'. Create your new playlist name and create.

 

Delete or do what you like with the old named playlist.

I second the suggestion to have an option to create an alias for public playlists created by Deezer editors. I have marked quite a few such playlists with names like “100% <artist name>” as my favorites. This is a big problem when using Deezer in Android Auto if I want to recall a playlist of a certain artist. In AA you can select playlists by their name's first letter. If most of them have names that start with “100%”, it is fairly useless and requires scrolling through the whole playlist directory - not very safe while driving. Of course, it is possible to copy those “100%...” playlists to ones’ own playlists with different names, but this would mean that the playlists are not updated when the original “100%” list is updated by editors.
