It\u2019s a problem across tons of apps.<\/p>\n<p>On the Android side of things, there are some welcome changes.<\/p>\n<p>\t<span class=\"outbrain-ad-label\">Advertisement &#8211; scroll for more content<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Playlist folders are super useful for organizing your playlists and saved albums, but they\u2019ve always been a desktop exclusive. Now, on mobile, you can create and manage folders through the \u201c+\u201d menu.<\/p>\n<p>Playlists and queues are also getting better control over tracks, with the ability to select multiple tracks at a time to remove them from the queue or from a playlist. The queue is also getting a one-tap \u201cReshuffle\u201d button that can change up the order instead of double-tapping on the shuffle button.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"720\"
