Select multiple songs in a row per "Shift+click"


Hi,



it would be very great and useful if we could use the shift button to select multiple songs in a row! Like in windows explorer...



Thanks
I organise my songs in long playlists with hundreds of songs. I often want to move songs to or from a playlist. Therefore I have to mark them one by one by clicking the small checkboxes. It would be very handy if I could mark them via shift+click. An example could be that I click the checkbox of a song in my playlist and then shift+click the checkbox of another song. Now all of the songs in between should also be checked. To unmark them I can do the same procedure again or click "mark all" twice.
Hi there, just to confirm that we have passed this feedback on to the right team 😉

@Rafael. are you still working on this feature or it’s activated by some other key? Cause it’s still not working with shift.


I’ve been using Deezer for a while as my primary tool to listen to music. It honestly blows my mind that this feature hasn’t been made yet.. It seems so obvious. I’ve had times where I have to manually select hundreds of specific tracks, while not selecting all of them at once. I’m saddened to see that this request was made over a year ago and has still not been completed. 


Hello @mokachino, thank you for your feedback, I agree this would be a very handy feature to have. I’ll forward this request to the teams.

Have a nice day :slight_smile:


in windows explorer you can ctrl+click to select a single file while keeping your current selection


That could also help @raccoonsarecool, just to make things more practical. Thanks for the comment, we'll pass it on :wink:

Bump! I need this feature! Here’s the quick breakdown of how this could work:

  • shift + click on playlist row checkbox
    select all rows up to the row of the clicked checkbox from either:
    • the closest selected playlist row, or if none then
    • the first playlist row
  • you cannot deselect multiple playlist rows at once unless you click the select/deselect all checkbox (in column header)
    - OR -
    shift + click selected checkboxes to deselect all selected playlist rows from start of selected rows to the clicked checkbox row
  • ctrl + click on checkbox
    select/deselect single playlist row when multiple rows are selected

🙏

The absence of a multiple track select feature on Deezer is a deal breaker for me. I’ll be moving my account to Tidal (whose interface is almost identical to Spotify).

Also, why can’t I see a dropdown list of playlists on the left screen menu? I should be able to simply drag and drop multiple songs into another playlist, like I would (and have) with my own personal library of songs or my Spotify and Tidal accounts.

And why can’t I organize my playlists into folders? 

After migrating away from Spotify, I can’t believe most music streaming services don’t include these extremely basic piece of UI. I thought I’d found a Spotify replacement with Deezer but Tidal it is instead.

You guys have a near perfect streaming service that’s sabotaging its own success by failing to include these features. Not every user just streams the same top 100 playlist on their phone.


I love the range and quality of the music but I will be moving back to another service at the end of this month, as the UI is too painful to use without shift-click.


This is a 4 year old feature request, and basic functionality of list management in any software.  I’m beginning to think Deezer simply does not care about UI/UX.


I'm really disappointed that this still isn't a thing.  I'm making a roadtrip playlist and it's honestly painful when you have to individually move hundreds of tracks.  Maybe I'll have to go back to another service.

2 years to put it from discussion to not for now and 2 years later still nothing wth?

I mean hes right its not an big feature to implement nor should it be hard to implement… 

 


Come om guys, this should be just an easy fix and VERY helpful.


Just transferred my old liked tracks from Spotify through Soundiiz.

However - because of this feature missing, I am now unable to move the 1000 songs I have now in my ‘liked’ tracks to their own playlist in Deezer, NOR DELETE the tracks. 

PLEASE, THIS IS SUCH A BASIC FEATURE.

I am NOT clicking over 1000 times in order to move or delete the songs. 
I love the service otherwise - but this needs to be updated ASAP.


Update :
(In case someone is having the same issue as I did.)

I managed to now move the tracks to their own playlist through Soundiiz - but this isn’t really a thing a user should have to do through a 3rd party app. Such basic features shouldn’t be outsourced to external services.

I am beyond frustrated and really contemplating on my Streaming-service choices now. 


I am currently checking the different services to choose where to move. I had almost decided to move to Deezer, but if there is no easy way to do selection of multiple tracks, I will have to pass. Too bad, Deezer is the best of the bunch until now, but this is a dealbreaker for me!
