My Question or Issue

When adding a single song to multiple playlists in the desktop application for windows, I have to go through the entire process - click the three buttons, select the add option, find the playlist and select it - for each playlist. It feels redundant. Especially when you can multi-add to numerous playlists on mobile. Is there something I'm missing, or is this a genuine issue? Super frustrating to have to have so many button clicks.

Hi there @literallytheworst,

Thanks for reaching out. We'll gladly help you manage your library in the most efficient way possible.

If you use the plus symbol on the right of each song instead of the three dots or a right click, you'll get essentially the same menu as on mobile where you can use checkmarks to add and remove that song from multiple playlists at the same time. Try it out and if it doesn't work, send us some screenshots of what you see on your end.

Hope this clears things up.

Playlist Checkboxes! Am I missing them in the desktop app?

Rarely do I find myself at the desktop Spotify app controls. But when I do I get frustrated trying to add one song to multiple playlists (Catch-all / Gym / Commute / etc.). Am I missing something somewhere? Just curious. Thanks! Keep up the awesome work btw 💕.

Hey @Music2myeers,

Thanks for reaching out! We moved your post here, hope you don't mind 🙂

Have a look at the response from @Joan in this thread and let us know if any questions arise.

Note that on desktop you can also Ctrl/Shift + click to select multiple songs or a range of songs as well.

Hope this clears things up! If there's anything else, don't hesitate to send us a reply 🙌🏼
