My Question or Issue

I searched on Genre:Rock and Year:1967 and got a long list of songs that were right on the mark. Unfortunately it seems I can only play them one at a time.

How can I auto-play the songs one after another? Or, ideally how can I create a playlist containing all the songs so I can add the playlist to my library?

Hey @bigjohn222,

Thank you for reaching out here in the Community.

If you'd like to create a playlist from Search, you'd need to go to the playlist that contains the songs that you like and tap on three dots of this playlist. Then you'd need to select the option "Add to other playlist" and then select a playlist.

Below are screenshots for visibility. Keep in mind that this is how it looks on our Desktop App.

You can find more detailed info about creating a playlist in this support article as well.

Additionally, if you'd like to enjoy non-stop listening - head here and find out how to control your Autoplay settings.

Hope this helps. Give us a shout if you have any other questions.

Does it the answer the question or side steps it? that's a real time waster of a solution, selecting one at a time. There should be an option to create a playlist from results, accepting there needs to be a limit on the number of songs added.

Hi @RAPSTER77,

You don't necessarily have to add one song at a time to a playlist - instead, you can select all search results that pop up with Ctrl+A and add all of them by right-clicking on one of the selected tracks > Add to playlist.

Cheers!

Hi Yordan -- Thank you for this. After spending a couple of hours adding 400 songs one by one, I came back to this forum and found your solution. Using the desktop version, I was able to add all 1,000 songs of the search results with just a few clicks. Thanks again.
