Having to align the pointer and click dozens of check boxes is multi-select tracks for playlists or deletion is slow and frustrating. Please allow us to use industry standard multiple selection, and don’t force us to scroll back to the top of potentially hundreds of imported MP3 files to get to the “Add To Playlist” button.

The above is for the computer app. As for the mobile version, multiple selection via checkboxes would be a blessing.

I know computer shift+click has been escalated to devs a number of times before, but this would make a big impact.

This feature is still not present in the app!

I saw discussions from 3 years ago that requested this feature and it led to NOTHING.

Is is that hard to create (which is not) or the team doesn’t care about community at all

It’s very painful to have to click hundreds of songs individually, when in other services I can just shift-click to multi-select. The above link by Jaime just says

People here are happy to help, but cryptic posts like this can be challenging. Is there more to this?

It was in reply to @imathew's post, which was right before mine. He said the new “idea” this one has been merged to is inaccessible. I was just saying it was happening to me as well. I don't see how it was “cryptic”.

Upping this thread ! The shift+click option is a basic functionnality and I’m very surprised it is still not implemented. As said in the OP, we are talking “industry standard”. What’s the point in having cool features if the core functionnalities and UI are not up to date, unintuitive and so limiting ?

Any info on how is issue is dealt with would be much appreciated! Thanks by advance

Reviving this read for visibility. Now from what I can tell, this feature is still not available on mobile nor more ideally on the desktop application. On mobile, the behavior would ideally be accessed by long press on a track thereby switching to a selection pane that one can scroll with the title side and select on the right side with associated checkbox bubbles. On desktop the behavior is more cut and dry with associated keyboard invocations. If more detail is required, please feel free to reach out.
