Spotify adds playlist folders, bulk editing and reshuffle

Spotify has introduced a suite of updates to its mobile application, bringing several long-requested organizational and playback features to users worldwide. The changes, which began rolling out this week, include the arrival of playlist folders on mobile, new bulk editing tools, a dedicated reshuffle button, and improved offline downloading for iOS.

The most significant addition for many users is the ability to create and manage playlist folders directly within the mobile app, a feature previously exclusive to the desktop version. This allows listeners to organize their libraries by grouping playlists according to genre, mood, or activity. The feature is available globally to all users, regardless of subscription tier.

Accompanying this is a new bulk editing capability for playlists. Users can now select multiple songs, podcast episodes, or audiobook chapters at once to move or remove them, streamlining what was previously a track-by-track process. This tool is also available to all users globally.
