Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/Rigellute/spotify-tui/issues/307
Currently the playlists folder structure (within the Spotify app) are flattened and any folders are not shown; instead, a flat ordering is shown, which can be problematic when one has many playlists ordered by such a folder system.
It would be great if there were support for these folders, perhaps allowing one to fold and unfold them (e.g. vim folds style) or instead browser into them and back.
@Rigellute commented on GitHub (Feb 24, 2020):
My understanding is that the Spotify API returns this flat folder structure too? Not too sure though.
@TimotheeGerber commented on GitHub (Apr 22, 2020):
The Spotify Web API, as explained in the documentation, does not support folders.
If you really want such a feature in
spotify-tui, you should ask the Spotify team to extend their API first. But it seems that they are not going to do it, according to this closed issue.@AlexSWall commented on GitHub (Apr 28, 2020):
Shame. Thanks for the replies.
@AlexSWall commented on GitHub (Apr 28, 2020):
That said, would this be worth investigating?

I am very keen to have folders (it's not practical to manage my 200+ playlists otherwise), and could feasibly look into this when I have more time if it seems like a sensible approach for spotify-tui.
(Even if it's an optional add-on which needs to be enabled.)
@AlexSWall commented on GitHub (Aug 24, 2020):
I've added a PR to that repo which adds playlist names to the JSON output, which would be needed for this feature.
@stpnwf commented on GitHub (Nov 1, 2021):
Any update if this feature can be implemented through this work around? It would be awesome if folders were supported in this application.
@AlexSWall commented on GitHub (Nov 1, 2021):
Due to this issue I moved back to using the standard Spotify client soon after opening that PR (as the lack of folder support is a complete non-starter for my 350 playlist Spotify account) so I've not been planning on looking into perfecting the PR there, getting it merged, and then trying to get that added here (as I suspect the final stage will be a faff), but I suspect someone else could easily take my changes there, amend them as suggested in the PR comments, and have at least the concept in theory working properly. If I can ease that process somehow I'm happy to help.

spotify_folders seems to also support names since this commit:
github.com/mikez/spotify-folders@d699e36add. I wanted to continue on the work of @AlexSWall but to my surprise the folder names were already present in the json output.
