If you like to create your own playlists in Spotify, then you have probably built up a whole collection over the years. Chances are that you will soon lose track of all your lists. However, Spotify has come up with something for this, namely playlist folders. How can you create these folders?
Playlist folders allow you to better organize your playlists, much like you do in Windows Explorer with files on your computer. You create a folder and drag playlists to the relevant folder to create some more order in your music library.
You can only create a playlist folder in the Spotify desktop app or in the browser. Once you have created such a folder, you will see it in all versions of the streaming service, including on all your mobile devices.
To create a playlist folder, right click on one of your playlists and select New map† A folder will then appear below the playlist. Right click on it and choose Renaming to name the folder, for example Summer lists†
Drag it!
Now you can add playlists that you like to listen to in the summer to the new folder. You do this by selecting a playlist and dragging it to the folder. You can also easily create a new playlist in this folder by right-clicking Create playlist† The new playlist will then be placed directly in the folder Summer lists to stand.
This also works in the Spotify mobile app by going to the playlist folder and tapping the plus sign at the top right.
You can also create folders within folders, by right clicking on a playlist folder and New map to select. In the same way you can also go for the option remove click to delete the playlist folder. Keep in mind that all playlists in the folder will also be deleted immediately. This cannot be undone.
And that’s all it takes to organize your playlists!
