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."

I MADE A POST ABOUT THIS TOO! IT NEEEEEEDS TO HAPPEN

I also can't believe this isn't a more widely-requested feature! Somehow, multiple copies of Windows Media Player playlists got loaded to my Spotify account, and they're not playable because the files aren't accessible. Do these ideas make it to those who can make these changes?

Since my Spotify was hacked several months ago, I have had HUNDREDS of playlists just sat on my account that I cannot get rid of simply because it seems ridiculous I have to delete them one by one.

Organizing playlists in bulk has been requested several times on this forum and is wanted by users because it's seen as a basic function of any music app. I really struggle to understand why this isn't already a function, on desktop, web player, OR mobile? This problem has been asked for 7 YEARS!!

I think the best way to do this would be incorporating a checkbox function or, like with liked songs, using ctrl-clicking, shift-clicking, and shift+arrowkeys to select all playlists you want.

Unreal this Is still pushed forward. I mean ... there haven't been that many improvements over the past 3 / 4 years, yet this super basic and very useful feature Isn't built yet ... Are there no IT guys working at Spotify or something? Hardly any improvements over many years now, why not spend a few hours on this?

It's SO basic, it's laughable.

Just found suggestions to this dating back to 2014, I mean....

"It didn't get enough kudos" **bleep** OFF SPOTIFY

Managing playlists is a nightmare on desktop and mobile. At least on desktop, please allow us to select multiple playlists at once so we can delete en masse. I have been accidentally and/or automatically subscribed to hundreds of playlists and it's severely hampering my experience with the app.
