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

I'm creating one folder for each artist. And there I create one folder per album! That's it =) I'm very excited and lookin forward for this feature!

My collection is mostly classical and organized by folders for composers, and folders for albums within each composer folder. The ability to navigate by folders would be very useful. So would the ability to navigate by composer.

Many classical albums contain multiple discs. Groove currently sorts the tracks within such albums by track number instead of disc, then tracks within each disc. This scrambles all the track 1s together, then all the track 2s, etc. Most players do a better job of this. It would also help to have a setting that allows one to display the composer field in place of the artist field for classical music buffs (and there are lots of us).

It would also be ideal to have Groove capable of storing album art in AAC and ALAC files, and any other format capable of this. I have wanted for years to escape iTunes, which does most of the above.

Whatever you do folders for playlists please! I make a lot of playlists and having one long list of them can be annoying to have to sort so please folders for playlists that we can drag around and organize how we want (See Spotify).

Also any chance of getting family pricing (i.e. Spotify, Google play music, Apple music, etc.)?

Files and folders are a necessary evil for working on metadata, but that's all. I certainly don't use them to browse my music collection. I use Windows Explorer to browse folders.

How do you find a specific song more efficiently that way? When I'm listening to music, I think of specific songs I'd like to hear and add them to the current playlist. Not sure how tags help with this usage.

If you think of a specific song, then use Groove's search function to bring it up, and add it to the "Now playing" list?

I would agree that Groove is currently very limited in what it can do, but I don't think the answer is to add a "browse folders and files" function. A "Focus/Filter" function is, IMO, a better approach.

I guess I find it quicker to click 3 or 4 times to open the folder and add the song. Search just doesn't make sense to me if I know where something is, and I know what I have and where it is.
