Do you want to select multiple songs on Spotify and send them to a different playlist or delete them at once?

You can do this on a computer, but it’s impossible on mobile. Despite users complaining about it for years, Spotify hasn’t added this feature to the mobile app.

To select multiple songs on Spotify on a computer, do this:

1. Hold the CTRL key on your keyboard
2. Select multiple songs in the playlist
3. Watch as the songs you select get highlighted
4. Do your thing with the highlighted songs

This method lets you select specific songs in a playlist in no order. If you want to select multiple songs in order quickly, click on the first song you want to get, hold down SHIFT, and then click on the last song you want to get.

All the songs between the first and last songs will be selected. Read below for a detailed guide on selecting multiple songs on Spotify!

Summary: In this article, I discuss how to select multiple songs on Spotify using a computer, as this feature is not available on the mobile app. 

To select multiple specific songs or songs in order, use the CTRL and SHIFT keys on your keyboard. 

Once you've selected your songs, you can add them to other playlists or delete them from your current playlist. 

Unfortunately, there's currently no option to perform these actions on the Spotify mobile app. For a detailed guide on selecting multiple songs on Spotify, read the full article.

Select Multiple Specific Songs

To select multiple specific songs on Spotify, follow the steps below:

1. Open a playlist

First off, you want to open a playlist with multiple songs. Whether it’s a public playlist or your playlist, open them.

2. Hold down CTRL on your keyboard and select songs

Once you’re in your playlist, hold down CTRL on your keyboard and select multiple songs in the playlist. They don’t have to be in order.

You can select any song in the playlist while holding down CTRL. You’ll notice that all the songs you select will be highlighted.

3. Right-Click on a select song and add them to your playlist

Once you select your songs, right-click on any one of them. Then, go to “Add to playlist” and select one of your other playlists.

Or you can delete these songs from your playlist by selecting “Remove from this playlist“.

Select Multiple Songs in Order

The CTRL method might be too slow if you have multiple songs in an order you want to select. In this case, the SHIFT method is better.

Follow the steps below to use it:

1. Select the first song in the order

The first step is selecting the first song from those you want to select. Left-click on it to highlight it and move to the next step.

2. Hold down SHIFT on your keyboard and select the last song in the order

After you select the first song in the order, hold down SHIFT on your keyboard and select the last song in the order.

This command automatically selects “all songs between the first and the last ones you selected.”

To exemplify – the first song I selected was “The Sound of Silence.” Then, with SHIFT pressed, I selected (left-clicked) “Wrong Side of Heaven.”

This highlighted all the songs between “The Sound of Silence” and “Wrong Side of Heaven.” Now, I can do anything I want with those songs.

The alternative would have been to hold down CTRL and select each song. With SHIFT, you can do this much quicker.

Conclusion

To summarize, you can select multiple songs on Spotify by using CTRL and SHIFT on your keyboard. This method only works on computers.

Currently, there’s no way to select multiple songs on Spotify mobile.

After you select multiple songs using these methods, you can do whatever you want with them – add them to other playlists, delete them from your playlist, etc.
