Spotify introduces playlist folders on mobile

Spotify has unveiled a fresh set of features designed to make playlist management easier for millions of users worldwide. The update introduces mobile playlist folders, bulk song editing and several other improvements aimed at streamlining the listening experience.

The headline feature is playlist folders, which enable users to organise multiple playlists under a single category. This means listeners can now create folders for workout music, travel songs, favourite artists or any other theme, making large music libraries easier to manage.

The company has also added bulk editing capabilities. Instead of handling tracks one at a time, users can select multiple songs and perform actions such as moving, removing or reorganising them together. Spotify says the feature is intended to save time and reduce the effort involved in maintaining playlists.

For users with extensive music collections, these additions address long-standing requests for better organisational tools. Playlist folders have been among the most sought-after features from Spotify’s community, particularly among subscribers who create dozens of playlists.

The update includes improvements to playlist controls and navigation, allowing users to customise their libraries more efficiently. According to Spotify, the goal is to make the platform easier to use while giving listeners greater flexibility over how they arrange their content.

The changes arrive as music streaming services increasingly focus on user experience and personalisation. With more listeners creating customised playlists, effective organisation tools have become an important part of the streaming experience.

Cloudflare glitch hits ChatGPT, Twitter, and other major sites

Many popular websites and apps, including ChatGPT, Twitter, Spotify, Canva, and Perplexity, went down on Monday due to a technical problem at Cloudflare, a company that helps deliver internet content safely. Users trying to access these sites saw a message saying: “Please unblock challenges.cloudflare.com to proceed.”

The issue started early in the morning and was caused by a glitch in Cloudflare’s system that checks for unsafe traffic. Instead of blocking threats, the bug accidentally stopped normal users from entering websites. The outage affected people across the world, causing confusion and frustration.

Cloudflare confirmed it was a technical problem, not a hacking attack. The company quickly fixed the issue, and most websites were back online by the evening, though some users experienced brief interruptions.

Tech experts say this shows how much the internet depends on a few major companies. When one service goes down, it can impact many websites and millions of users at once.

Cloudflare said it is reviewing its systems to prevent similar problems in the future. Most services are now running normally, and users can access the affected websites again.
