Yes, of course. Imagine they increase to 3K, at worst, we & you will ask for more. Even at 10K. I’m at 13K songs right now with my music collection method.

Seems like they are going to write code from the beginning to adapt their structure. That takes a lot of time and during that period people claim more easier improvements.

Hi there, you can do it from a computer, but not from your phone yet. I have passed this feedback on to our devs 😉

On the right side, check box/es of song/s you want to select. You can also select all by clicking at the first box in top. Then choose from the folding list or button what you want: share, add to playlist or queue, delete, etc..

Thanks, Walker. I only got 6 tracks to disappear at same time using this method. A button "delete" appeared on top of screen after I checked 6 boxes, and they did delete. However, doing it again didn't work. I tried less songs and more songs, and can't find a delete button anywhere. The three "dots" that provide choices don't include a delete option. The delete button that did appear was on the line next to A-Z artists. Still need help. Thanks much.

hey bud

Is weird that first time works and later not. Must be a bug, error.

Yeah bring this to iOS please. For example select multiple tracks, then add them to a single playlist at once.

Can someone change the title to something like “Select multiple items at once”?

Deezer, you have your product, your songs and quality. Now is time to improve working on details : like this one, set a song as a ringtone, set song as alarm, dis/like buttons and progress of song on notification bar and lock screen, simplify tabs that are about the same (music and flow for example) and create new ones if neccesary (social, settings). Also volume normalization, automatically song quality detection, access artists/albums when pressing on them when a song is playing,etc.


Is not easy because each one has different tastes about design, order,settings,etc . But one design will be loved more than other, some things will be unuseful for some users , however for others will be useful.

The important thing is having all things people ask for  in a simple and elegant UI. And we are here to help you, step by step, day by day (in my case when i have time, hehe :sweat_smile: )

Agreed @walker as long as we're done with our big improvements planned for this year, we should start looking into polishing everything after that :wink:

Add a checkbox to the tracks when selecting tracks to save them to the playlist.

I can't do multiple selection of track at once. I am really looking forward to add few tracks from one album into queue list and few random selection of songs from my own playlist however I couldn't able to perform multiple selection of songs on Deezer Android app. I want to know if this feature exist or haven't been implemented.

Bingo @walker 

Some nice new stuff that doesn't take much time to make and has a benefit to a lot of Deezer users can be considered a priority too. Whatever it takes to improve the experience for our service so that we keep everyone happy!

Hey @G.A. 

Thanks for adding your support to this idea as well - please vote above :wink:

When can I see this implementation on mobile device I seriously needs it… Because neither do I listen whole album in one go or nor do I listen one album at a time. 

Meaning ????

The meaning is that I select few tracks from one album randomly and select few tracks from another album which I believe their title of the song had similar mood of listening such as separating sad song with love song.

When can I expect to see this implementation early before 2030.

We're unable to commit to a certain date at the moment @harsh.chokshi1 but we're super keen to improver our UX this year - so your comments are essential to continue the discussion throughout this year - thank you :v_tone2:

Alright one month has already completed now tell me when you people are updating multi track selection option for Android app. If there is no plan to implement it within this month. Then let me know I'm not interested then keeping Deezer subscription where I have take pain of my fingers to add songs to queue list one by one. One month has already passed and amount has already been deducted from my account so I can wait only for this month because this feature has been requested ages before but have not been implemented.

Being able to multiselect tracks in any playlist including favorites is a basic feature that I’m shocked it’s not there on Android :\

     Multiselect with the option to play next or add to a playlist is needed!

It can be seen that way, yes @Fahmi B Mukbil 

The good news is that our developers are looking at working on this as well, right now as we speak. Your comment here added a fresh view on the matter, which is very positive. Thank you :pray_tone2:

It would also be nice if this feature was extended to “multi-disc” albums, so that the user could easily select a single “disc”.

 

For example, the only versions available on Deezer of Fleetwood Mac’s “Rumours” are the Deluxe Edition and Super Deluxe Edition. When viewing these albums, they are demarcated with “CD 1”, “CD 2”,  etc. It would be nice if we could just select a single “CD” (primarily the first “CD” which is the album as it was originally released), without all the extra “bonus” tracks. I, for one, don’t usually need to listen to 3hrs of Fleetwood Mac in one sitting. Having to add each track from just the original album to the queue, one by one, is horribly tedious. Multi-track selection, or “CD” selection, would be a very welcome improvement.
