Add all songs from queue to a playlist

My Question or Issue

I want to add all the songs from my current queue to a playlist.

I know there are two ways to add songs to a playlist after selecting them (with 'Ctrl + a):

1) Select the song/s and right click to bring up a small menu. Press 'Add to Playlist' and then select the playlist.

2) Select the song/s and drag them to a playlist.

However, neither of these work when trying to add the whole queue to a playlist. Am I doing this wrong or is there no way to do it?

Hey there @george-avis,

thanks for posting in the community !

I just tested this issue you're having and i managed to mark all songs on the queue list, right click, add to a playlist and it worked fine.

Note: make sure you have the latest version of Spotify installed just in case.

Give it a second try, maybe it'll come around=)

Thanks for the reply

I managed to add the songs by saving all the songs to my library and then selecting theminstead. I must have being trying to add them wrong before or my spotify is not the latest version.

Thank you for the help anyway! 🙂

Well, this saves the songs from the queue, but it does not save the queue, as some get auto generated

This doesn't work for me... On my Mac or iPad with Spotify App.. I can select all the songs in the queue, but when click the 3 dots on a song and add it to my playlist, only that one song is added..

Am I missing something?

Thanks!

Kyle

om g i finally figured it out i might be goated? ok so on mac open queue, select the songs from queue, then shift + double click again on the selected songs. the big long menu should go away and there will be a shorter menu (if it's still not there, try double clicking the songs again) which will give u the option 2 add 2 playlist and that will add them all. im so awesome

On PC, select songs in the queue (clicking on them does not play them), right click and the shorter menu that renrosen mentions will show up. Add to a playlist and all will go in. If you try to select songs from the queue and add from playlist from the three dot menu, it will only add the last one you selected.

For the online version (I'm on Mac) what you do is hold shift and click on the song at the bottom of the queue. This will select all the songs above in the queue. After that you can right click or drag them to create the playlist.

I understand this is for Spotify web. Is there a way to do it on Spotify Android app?

I just tried it and I think I figured it out. I struggled at first and had minor problems, but this is what I did.

Right click on the first song in your queue. Right click again(make sure to be hovering over the song, not the menu) so the menu goes away. The song should still be highlighted. Then use (shift) + (the down arrow) and click the arrow until you get to the bottom of your queue or the last song you want on your playlist. Right click again, hovering over any of the highlighted songs, then from the menu, choose to add to a playlist, then either add to an existing playlist or create a new playlist.

The only problem I ran into was that some of the songs in my queue did not get highlighted, but they were highlighted when I tried again. I think it was because I held the arrow down and it went too quickly for my computer to process all the songs being highlighted. If you do run into this problem though, I found it very easy to fix. I just scrolled through the playlist that was opened in the main, middle column of the window and the queue in the right column. When I saw a missing song it was quick and easy to add and move to the spot I wanted.

I don't know how you would do this on a smartphone or tablet, but if you have access to a desktop or computer this should work on all web browsers.

I hope this was helpful!!
