[All Platforms][Playlists] Add the same song to multiple playlists simultaneously

[conner_thewhite]

There is no reason why Spotify shouldn't have a functionality on at least the desktop app where you can drag one song into as many "selected" playlists as you want and have that song added to all of them at the same time…

Here's a little more info to back up this request:

I'm, for one, the kind of person who obsesses over music, and a huge component of that is the way in which I organize my playlists.

I believe it is probably safe to say that most people wish their music was better organized, but the primary reason why they aren't is simply the amount of time it takes to put together quality playlists. Instead, what most people end up with are a small handful of enormous playlist hundreds, if not thousands, of songs that have no rhyme or reason to why they are in the same playlists.

To avoid this dilemma, I have spent hours and hours sorting through all my favorite songs and making different types of playlists that they may fit into. One thing I learned early on is that a particular song is likely going to fit into multiple playlists, and this is where the problem lies and the primary reason why most people avoid making well thought out playlists altogether.

In order to add a song to all the playlists I want, I have to sit at my computer and continuously drag a new song I want put into different playlists into each individual one over and over again which, when organizing dozens or even hundreds of songs, can take an insane amount of unnecessary time. And that is if you happen to be creating and organizing playlists on the desktop app… if you are trying to do this on your phone, you might as well forget about it - it would take you an hour to add 20 different songs to 10 different playlists.

That is why I believe Spotify should add a function (starting on desktop and eventually moving onto mobile like they are likely to do with the "folders" for playlists) in which a single song can be added to multiple playlists at the same time.

Attached is a picture originally posted by a subscriber named anaraee who had requested this a few years ago, but apparently wasn't able to get enough traction then... hopefully this time will be different.

I have a few playlists that have the same genre, but have varying subgenres or variables.  Sometimes tracks fit more than 1 of the playlists and having to add to multiple by going through the whole process multiple times is literally my biggest gripe with the Spotify app

lame spotify...with all your money we pay you we cant even get you to have this simple feature....bad

Hire me as an unpaid intern and I will personally implement this feature into the desktop client if you guys don't wanna spare the manhours. This is so badly needed that it hurts.

Very easy and useful idea - must be easy to code and don´t understand why this is not an issue

Devs at Spotify; please make this happen!

As a huge playlist creator this would be awesome!

THIS. 

If only I were able to add songs to multiple playlists at once, my eyes would spend more time on the road. #SafetyMatters

it would be a good idea to add a song in both playlist at the same time

Bummer, this is a super helpful feature to have. It sucks that I have to add a single song to multiple playlists in a super manual way. Pretty bad UX, IMHO.

Thats what I'm saying! Save some lives Spotify! I hope they consider this in the next update...I posted this a long time ago and nothings happend but a couple comments.
