[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.

Marked as new idea and edited the title slightly to make it easier to find via search : )

This is a repost of the following inactive idea 

[What happens to the idea I submitted?]

This is something that I also struggle with. I like to have my music organized in different ways, which often requires adding the same song to different playlist. Having this feature, along with maybe "add playlist" to add all songs in one playlist to another would be really nice. It may not be a priority, but it may make an already awesome app, perfect. At least for me.

I was about to make this request myself. 

I'm a seasoned Pandora fan, however I've become quite fond of Spotify in the past few months, and I am considering getting a premium subscription.

 I'm even importing songs from my Pandora account into Spotify playlists.

But, alot of songs that I like, end up being added to multiple playlists, such as my "dancing" playlist, "my shower songs", "my house cleaning playlist", "my bad day mood lifting playlist", you get my point. 

Its irritating as **bleep** to have to add to each playlist individually.  And Pandora what I've typically done, is I will add a song to one station, and I'll keep the station separate from others, since on Pandora I have the option to hit shuffle, and select the stations that I want to shuffle  together, and that way I can play all songs on the station is relevant to whatever mood I am in at that moment.

That said, Spotify does offer a means to having a much more specifically ( i'm **bleep** retentive about my music OK? Lol.) curated playlist than Pandora does for their stations

The option to tap add to playlist, and then tap multiple playlist, in old fashioned "check box" or "radio button" style, and add one song to all of the selected playlists at one time, is definitely a must have for me. Let's get this done. 

Do it, and I'd pay for premium.

We still miss this opportunity a lot

Pls do it on mobile platforms too..

I really miss this feature, could look at it. The code behind it is not that hard to add. Thanks very much.

How can this not be a feature being made? It's possibly one of the best and easiest added features that could be added.

For whatever strange reason Spotify  must've decided they don't want it. There are enough people asking for it. And we've been asking for a very long time. Disappointing!

Please implement this.

Please, I NEED this
