Spotify wants to ‘help keep listening smooth’ with new playback and queuing tools — and it’s also dropped an overdue upgrade for offline listening

• Spotify has rolled out new playlist tools, including bulk editing functions for queues
• Background downloading is rolling out for iOS users after being limited to Android devices
• Playlist folders are also being rolled out globally

I love making new playlists in Spotify, but sometimes its limited editing and queuing tools make the experience more of a chore rather than a fun activity. Thankfully, the platform just dropped a shedload of tools to make playlists more enjoyable and to ‘help keep listening smooth’ for both iOS and Android users.
