How do you organize your Spotify music?

by height

basic structure is:

My Playlists - stuff I like - organized by folders: jazz, country, rock, etc. You could also do moods, driving songs, etc

Subscribed - playlists I'm subscribed to

Recommended - I use this for albums that I want to check out sometime in the future.

I have a "starred" playlist that I've been adding songs to for the last 3-4 years. It's basically just a huge playlist (I think like 8-9 days worth) of songs I've heard over the years that I liked for one reason or another.

Also have a "discover" playlist that is songs that I like from my discover weekly playlist that spotify makes. This is my primary method of learning about new artists/songs.

Also have a "party" playlist, a "chill" playlist

Also have running playlists of my favorite songs from a given year

I also have a ton of playlists that are simply albums that I like


Spotify fricking rules

oh yea I do this too

Besides the main set which is unorganized, I have been Be for the gym, studying, relaxing, gaming, driving, and my top songs of 2016 playlist.

I organize mine by playlists for certain situations (i.e. music for listening to on the porch, tailgate playlist, etc).

This.

I have a tailgate playlist that I clean out and update every summer, one for the annual river trip w/ the baws, one for the beach, one for when we play golf and then aside from those I also have genre playlists.

I don't trust many people's choice of music though so I'm super anal about it haha

I make playlists of albums. ... Silly since I can just search for the albums, but I like to open up my playlists and see albums. Otherwise I forget albums that I want to listen to.

When you pull up an album you like, hit the "Save" button on it. Then it will be in your library and simple to pull up.

I have a big playlist of stuff I like that a diverse group can enjoy/tolerate at parties.

Also have a few playlists for particular artists (Bowie, Neil Young, McCartney, etc.) that are collections of my favorite songs by them.

And I follow a few playlists put together by others. One is Memorial Day BBQ with a crowd pleasing collection of 400 hits from 60s to 80s (but I later made my own version of that). The Rolling Stones Best 500 Songs of All Time is also handy.

It's a helluva lot easier to make playlists on your PC than on a phone.

I just throw everything in one playlist. I have close to 900 tracks in there now and need to whittle it down. There are so many songs in there that when they come on I think, "What the hell was I thinking when I added THAT?"

Any advantage to Spotify Premium as far as all of this playlist organization, or can you do anything you want without it? I usually just play albums or daily mixes myself.
