Shift+Click and/or Shift+arrow keys for multiple selection

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.

    Any update on this idea? I am giving Deezer a trial run before deciding if I want to leave Spotify or not, and this is a huge feature to not have. 

    Past activity shows that this suggestion was merged with another 3 years ago, but clicking the link returns a 403 error. Is this feature still being considered?

     

    Thank you!

    Shift-Click to select multiple files in Favorites is still not implemented. I just imported 1,200 songs from someone’s Apple account using Tunemymusics that went into my favorites and now I have to click one each one individually to remove them. What are we using here, DOS?

    …… I have to do the 1200 clicks twice! Once to move them to a different playlist and then again to remove them from Favorites. At least add a dropdown for a playlist to remove those songs from Favorites!!

    New to Deezer (just migrated from Spotify), loving it so far but found it VERY surprising that playlist song multi-select is not core functionality (!) Having to individually remove tracks via right- click is tiresome. PLEASE expedite this idea onto the roadmap for swift development and rollout! 
    (I’m using both macbook and android app).

    Giving Deezer a try as well, but the way editing a playlist works is just ridiculous to me. Four years later and a functionality every other music program in existence has supported for 20+ years is still not there? Come on, surely it cannot be THIS impossible to do!
