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."

Spotify is where hope for the music industry goes to die.

At least they changed the status of the idea, so we know what they plan to do about it.

And the idea you linked is much much harder to implement than the one we are asking here, because it would require to change their API and make their servers handle this.

Allowing to select/move/delete multiple playlists at once is a very very simple feature to add.

Trust me, I'm a (software) engineer 🙂

And if they don't, well, I will probably go to Rdio or something else ...

Let's hope they will do something on this topic in the next year (as earlier as better).

It isn't a big thing to fix. Should be done without too much effort.

 Going through the desktop app and hitting "backspace - enter" multiple times to clear out playlists... PAINFUL
