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.

@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.
