It does have to be files rather than folders, but not one at a time:

But thats not what I want, Been getting to the point that I’ve been considering moving to another service its been like that since I got my plex pass a few years ago its the one glaring issue i’ve had to deal with.
All I need is stuff listed under other video to let me select folders for a shuffled playlist for that day or what ever no pre-made playlists kinda picky and a playlist I made one day won’t be good enough another day.

I suppose this is what you’re looking for (option to add an entire folder to a playlist or to the play queue)

> Currently if you browse a music library by folder you must click all the way down to individual tracks before you can select them and then add to playlist or just play them. Can we also have this on the folder level?

There’s also a dedicated suggestion asking for an option to shuffle an entire folder

I suggest you comment/vote in those existing threads in order to avoid distracting/dispersing votes. I’ll therefore close this thread as a duplicate.
