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 create folders as if they were playlists, so play buttons on each folder would be ideal. I do it like that because I use a flash drive to listen to music on my car, and it's the simpler way to create something similar to a playlist.

    <HDD>:\ Music \ Artist \ Album

    Pretty simple.

    I organize my collection with these folders :

    Music > Artist > Album (> CD but it's rare)

    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.
