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

​@Jaime.Deezer any updates? 

It’s quite alarming to see this feature is missing, and even more that threads like this one is 6 years old.

​@Kevin Deezer ​ ​@Leonídia.Deezer Are you still there? Is the development team even aware of this problem?

​@Wert Zuz ​@mischiew ​@escape_goat I understand your frustration but I don’t have any news and it is still a “Not for now”,  and if something changes we will update the status on this idea.
 

How will you notify us? There’s no release notes for the app updates, and no notifications when reported bugs are fixed. Well, actually, you haven’t fixed any of those I’ve reported yet, so I’m only trusting what your colleague told me.

Seriously now, when are you going to add this very basic and necessary functionality? Did you see that some people had physical problems because of that?

Thanks for thinking about your customers.

I think it’s kinda funny calling this an “idea”… sure the shift click thing is one I guess, but it’s a standard in software since the 90s. Every other streaming service has it that I’m aware.

If y’all have another solution than that, great, but you have to address this gaping usability and accessibility hole in Deezer. I mean several users in this thread alone call it a dealbreaker.

Just wanted to mention that this is still not supported in 2025. This is absurd because it’s a basic UI/UX feature which is just expected to work. Unfotunately I paid one year in advanced before realizing that such a basic functionality is missing. But I suppose it was the first and last year i paid for.  

It’s also absurd how this topic is discussed and handled by Deezer. This is not an “idea”, it’s basic functionality which every software handling lists of some kind supports at least since the early 2000s. 

It’s not the only UI/UX issue I’ve encountered with surprise since I use Deezer. I will not go into details because it’s off topic but the threads where those are discussed are similar. It seems that there is no real interest in improving the UI/UX.

Just as an example: I want to clean up my favorites. My musical taste changed dramtically over the last years. So now I have to make clicky click for 100s of songs, insted of selecting most of them with two clicks. This is absurd. I can’t say it often enough. Thinking about writing a script to do it via API. How is that for the user experience? Think the other streaming services can compete? 

​@Jaime.Deezer it's not a so complicated feature and its a must have for every and I mean every app website etc which has the option to select items. It's implemented in every software since 20 years minimum. It's a standard not a oh maybe a nice have. You can't developed software and ignore standards please pitch it to the developer team and ask them to reconsider it. It makes it impossible to effective create own playlist and edit them, and streaming services live and die with custom made and published playlists. It's not good that the feature is so rudimental that it stops you from making good custom playlists. Also it will make many users frustrated since its not a oh would be nice but understandable its not there feature its a wtf a simple thing I know from everywhere and would expect to work does not work at all. Thanks a lot would appreciate an update. Have a nice day.

it’s mad it’s still not possible to do that tbh

Right now, if I want to select or rearrange multiple songs, I’m forced to tick a checkbox for every single track. That’s not an edge case or a “power user” scenario, this is normal everyday usage, and the current workflow is absurdly inefficient.

What’s especially frustrating is that your community has been asking for Shift-click / range selection for around seven years, and it still hasn’t been implemented. At this point it feels completely unreasonable.

Can you please confirm:

1. Whether Shift-click range selection / proper bulk selection is on your roadmap, and if so, any expected timeline?

2. If there is any official workaround (web/desktop/mobile) that allows selecting a whole range of tracks and moving/removing them reliably?

I have already decided to switch to Qobuz. I was about to purchase a yearly subscription with Deezer, but thanks to the community thread on this missing feature, I noticed the issue just in time and canceled the annual subscription before it went through.

I’m currently on a free trial. This is the reason I’ll keep looking for a Spotify replacement. I’m not clicking hundreds of checkboxes just to move/copy/delete tracks.

This feels more like a bug-fix request than a feature request.
