Select and organize multiple Playlists

[mrderek]

This is a direct copy of this idea which was originally posted 2 years ago.  I wasn't a user then, and this idea has since been made inactive, so I'm resurrecting it.  Even just a shift-select on the desktop app would help immeasurably.  Here's the original idea:

"I am looking for easy ways to organize my library.

I want to do some housekeeping in my library, but I find the current system of dragging and dropping individual playlists is too time consuming when the number of playlists reach this high.

First of all, there should be a way to select multiple playlists at once and be able to handle multiple playlists the same way as I can handle single playlist (ability to drag and drop, and rightclick w/ a special dropdown menu for multiple selected items).

Ctrl-clicking, shift-clicking and shift+arrowkeys would help greatly.

[Edit] This idea is nearing its 2 year anniversary of no official recognition. Good times! 🙂

As a sidenote my Spotify library now consists of 1296 playlists."

Hey there!
Currently there's no way to drag multiple Playlists at once.

But you might want to add your kudos to an idea about it here:

Thanks Meredith! I really appreciate the feedback and any support you can provide! 😃

I recently found out the folder method for organization of playlists. How can I select multiple playlists of mine and then drag and drop in their respective folders? Currently I have to drag and drop one by one.

just wanted to say YES to all of this. in an ideal world we would also be able to organize everything in the 'main window' and not just the left 'side bar'. so much space that's not available to use at all for simple tasks like this right now. there's no reason i shouldn't be able to ctrl-click 3 playlists and move them all into a folder at one time. (like i can with tracks in the main window)

Now, it's possible to select many playlists at the same time or it's still no possible? 

It's really boring...

It is still too much to activate the multi selection and implement the listeners for the event(s). Should be a quick task, but hey, why should they give us a usability features which windows has since Windows 3?

I am very happy that I canceled my Premium account. They really don't deserve our support.

July 2016... still nothing, I can't believe a company of any size lets their customer begging for 4 YEARS for a really basic feature...

It's ridiculous, it's like they had a meeting "So... how do we loose our customers effectively? There are just annoying... all this money we could make, screw that!"

I canceled premium as well, that's really pathetic, with that feature Spotify would be the best, but without it I consider Spotify unusable.

Its driving me crazy, playlists building up and trying to think of multiple folders to access things easily but then moving lists one at a time..... not enough to give up but getting there!

I probably have 4 or so thousand playlists now. Yes, I'm a playlist hoarder. Actually, this is just how I like to save albums.

For example, you can dump a bunch of albums into a folder and make a killer shuffle playlist. I'm doing one now on the golden age of hip hop (using the site of the same name).

My overall list of playlists is out of control as I'm adding more than I care to put into folders since I still have to drag each play list individually. I imagine something will break at some point, so it would be a good for Spotify to fix this problem so the desktop app doesn't break. 🙂

It's been a while so hello to everyone who is going through the same pain. Please spotify take the pain away, p-l-e-a-s-e...
