Summary
- New playlist folders organize music on mobile devices.
- Bulk editing for tracks, books, and podcasts now available.

As Spotify marks its 20th anniversary, the music streaming giant is rolling out a suite of new features designed to enhance user control and app reliability. These updates are being released globally, with some features exclusively for Premium subscribers.
Among the key enhancements is the introduction of playlist folders on mobile, allowing users to organize their music by mood or genre. Additionally, a new bulk editing feature enables simultaneous management of multiple tracks, books, and podcast episodes, benefiting all users worldwide. Premium subscribers will also see improvements in managing their play queue, including the return of multi-select functionality.
The app's offline listening capabilities are also being bolstered. iOS Premium users will benefit from background downloads, ensuring content continues to download even when the app is closed. This move towards a more dependable offline experience is a significant step for users on the go.
Further refinements include a 'reshuffle' button for the play queue, offering Premium mobile users a novel way to vary their listening sequence without toggling the shuffle feature on or off.
