Spotify is rolling out some interface enhancements to make the music streaming service easier to use. For the first time, users will be able to create folders to help organise their collection of playlists.
Spotify social is a great idea, but it has a downside. If you have a lot of friends it is easy to get a huge number of playlists, and having to scroll through them all to find the one you want is a royal pain. To help bring some sense of order back to Spotify, the company is rolling out a new client that will allow users to create folder to store their playlist collections.
Playlists can be moved between folders using drag and drop and if you are feeling adventurous you can even create folders within other folders so you can create hierarchies of musical genres, etc.
Other features in client update include the addition of artist and album pictures into the search view, playlist subscriber pictures at th top of shared lists so you can see who else is listening and official Spotify Twitter posts in the Feed. Windows 7 users will also enjoy support for Snap, Jump To and Taskbar features.
The new client will be deployed to groups of users today, so let us know if you are one of the lucky ones to get an early copy and tell us what you think of the new look in the comments.
