Top Request: Navigate music collections by folder in the Groove app

Week after week we hear the request to add the ability to navigate music collections by folder in the Groove app. We're thinking about how to build it the right way and would love more detailed feedback.

How do you organize your collection by folder? A folder per album? A folder per artist? A folder by season?

Once we expose your folder structure in Groove, how do you expect to interact with them? Play buttons on each folder? Should your folders be included in the "Add to" menus?

Tell us your story. We're listening.

Thanks!

    I would use this to be able to "shuffle all" my actual music, by having it in a folder, and having other audio files, such as RiffTrax, recorded lectures, spoken word, etc. in their own folders.

    Can we expand this to include the ability to modify artist, genre, year info etc. attributes instead of just navigating to an album/artist to play the music? This will improve the quality of the new auto playlists quite a bit since it will be reading more accurate info - I would think it would anyway...

    <HDD>:\ Music \ Artist \ Album

    Pretty simple.
