With the development on mobile, users should now be able to create new folders and move playlists to them directly on their smartphone. This is especially useful for users that have generated several AI or prompted playlists. Said playlists would normally crowd the library page, making it difficult for users to find the playlists that actually mattered. Elsewhere, the same development now also allows you to play all playlists within a folder, be it shuffled or in or
