[Desktop] Select and Add multiple artists or multiple albums to playlist

Add a way to add an artist and their albums/songs to a playlist, or be able to select multiple albums to add to a playlist.like you can select multiple songs to add to a list. This may have been asked before, but after digging around I couldn't find much on the subject. there are times I find it would be easier just to select multiple artists or albums artist to a playlist instead of just a song.

  • [Desktop] Select and organize multiple playlists

    This is a direct copy of this idea which was originally posted 2 years ago.  I wasn't a user then, and this idea has since been made inactive, so I'm resurrecting it.  Even just a shift-select on the desktop app would help immeasurably.  Here's the original idea:
    "I am looking for easy ways to organize my library.
    I want to do some housekeeping in my library, but I find the current system of dragging and dropping individual playlists is too time consuming when the number of playlists reach this high.
    First of all, there should be a way to select multiple playlists at once and be able to handle multiple playlists the same way as I can handle single playlist (ability to drag and drop, and rightclick w/ a special dropdown menu for multiple selected items).
    Ctrl-clicking, shift-clicking and shift+arrowkeys would help greatly.
    [Edit] This idea is nearing its 2 year anniversary of no official recognition. Good times! :)
    As a sidenote my Spotify library now consists of 1296 playlists."

    Thanks @martskre !   Your idea is solid and seemingly easy enough to implement, I have no idea why it's taken 3 years.  As loyal Spotify premium users build their libraries over time, we increasingly need streamlined ways to manage these libraries.  Selecting multiple playlists to move/copy/delete is the most simple of these.   would it be possible to get a rough roadmap or any info as to why this is being held up?  Thanks so much for your help!

  • Would like to be able to select and move multiple folders in one operation.

    Unless I'm missing something really simple here, there doesn't seem to be any easy way of selecting and moving multiple folders at once.
    Here's a little example of a simple task I want to do. I presently have a multitude of folders each seperated by the day the photo was taken on. So in my case for a given year I might have maybe 50 folders or so. It's getting a little cluttered, so all I want to be able to do is to take all the folders for one given year and place them in a folder with that year's date. This should be a simple 30 second task, simply select the folders I want moved by either <CTRL> or <SHIFT> clicking them, and then dragging and dropping them into the new folder.
    Right now, the only way I've figured how to do this this is to drag and drop each folder one by one, never mind that this is a slow process in itself, but to add to the slowness, whenever I try to drag and drop more than one folder consecutively, I get a message saying ... "Can not move a folder while another move operation is in progress...blah blah". Not that I want this to be the fix, but haven't they heard of queuing?
    I've seen people on the net suggest that for this type of task, you should simply move the folders in Windows first and then locate them in Lightroom. Again, unless I'm missing something very simple here, there doesn't seem to be a way to locate multiple missing folders at once. If I have to manually locate each missing folder one by one, then I'd rather just do the drag and drop thing as this would actually be faster.
    I've also tried moving the folders from within Windows first and then using the "Synchronize folder" option, yeah sure this works, but I lose any changes that I've done in Develop module. Not what I'm looking for.

    Daniel is right. It´s really strange that I can´t move several folders in one move! When I need more space on my laptop I move a group of folders (one folder for every photosession) to an archive. Therefore I really would like to move them in one click, not "baby-sitting" the move of each folder.

  • Selecting and Dragging multiple clips - CS6 Sniper mode

    With the introduction of ability to select Edit Points, now it's inconvenient to drag multiple selected clips or add clips to selection because in some cases - depending on timeline zoom state and/or clip duration. The edit points are altered instead of the clips, that behaviour drives me nuts. It leads to a necessity to do one of the following actions before selecting and/or dragging multiple clips with comfort:
    sniper mode - put the cursor over a place in the selection where the cursor will not indicate Edit Point trimming mode.
    to avoid loosing selection when using sniper mode - Group the clips after adding every clip to selection and/or after a dragging operation
    dynamically change zoom state so that you will not have to use sniper mode
    use copy/cut/paste - may involve a necessity to do additional pre-pasting steps
    IMHO, this behaviour should be rethinked.
    How fast it was in CS5.5 and older versions:
    Please, Premiere Pro Programming Team, especially Tim Gogolin, Steve Hoeg, Peter Lee, Gerry Miller, James Mork, Vivek Neelamegam, Axel Schildan, Jerry Scoggins, Sven Skwirblies, Tod Snook, Jesse Zibble, rethink the behaviour of selecting and dragging clips. Start giving links to beta-versions to other editors too, not only to editors like Philip Bloom.
    Selecting edit points is sometimes helpful and sometimes distracting.
    To get the best of two worlds (CS6 edit points vs. CS5.5 and older) - a switch could be added to Keyboard Shortcuts list, like the "hidden" Add Clip Marker shortcut.
    Let's name it "Application > Sequence > Select Edit Points".
    When Shift- or Shift+Alt- key is pressed and some Clip is selected, clicking on an edit point of another clip should add a clip to selection in the same way as previous versions of Premiere Pro did:
    To drag clips in legacy sniper-free mode only a switch can help. Let's name it "Application > Sequence > Select Edit Points when Multiple Clips are Selected".
    To add comfort to the editing process - selecting/dragging multiple clips - additional switches cannot be avoided. Additionally you may add an option to the Preferences > Trim:
    Allow Selection tool to choose Roll and Ripple trims without modifier key
    Allow Selection tool to select Edit Points while multiple Clips are selected

    With all due respect Kevin, nobody at Adobe has the right to change a program SO drastically.  I am also a mouse person, and am MUCH faster using the mouse, vs the keyboard. 
    When people have invested YEARS into a program like Adobe, they get used to things, how things work, the feel of a program.  I really don't see how you all can just change it on a whim.  IF you are going to do this, BOTH methods should still work.  You cannot just stop the way people are used to editing.  You can't just decide to change a program so drastically, that it doesn't feel like a program we have grown to love over many long years.  If Adobe on a whole is changing things, just because a few people in your company voice opinions like I've quoted below, it's not the way to go.  Adobe should be really putting feelers out there, and seeing how people are really using the program.  Things should be getting easier, more powerful, sure that's natural, but you can't just decide to remove things that mouse users do every day. :-(
    Upgrading a program, and changing it to this degree, are two different things in my book.  I have not yet upgraded, but it is very scary - the things I'm seeing.  For one, way way too many bugs.  The amount of bugs on so many boards being reported are just beyond comprehension. 
    And a final note, I for one, am very glad Steven is posting these videos ( I'd like to hear him go through steps though - just watching the video with no audio of what he is doing is not so great, however after watching some of his posts, he's knows what he's doing, and has a good head to think with )
    I mostly read posts, but I thought I would voice my opinion, if none of us speak up, nothing will get changed.  I'm really hoping that Adobe implements some change in the next revision .5 or whatever it will be called.  Reading posts like this one are really depressing.  Did you watch Steven's video on a simple task as moving multiple clips around on a timeline ?  Doing this with a mouse just isn't going to work for many, removing simple tasks by way of using a mouse would stop me from upgrading.
    Please address this in upcoming updates.
    Dave.

    Try this general troubleshooting procedure:
    1 - delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your
         User/Home/Library/ Preferences folder.
    2 - delete the contents the following folder: User/Library/Containers/com.apple.iPhoto

  • Select and move multiple events at once

    I´m trying to find a command who let me select and move/drag several events for example 15 min down/later in the day. Maybe I have dreamt it but I think I have used ealier a command where I could use this forgotten command and by pressing down the left mouse click over the events I could select the events at once. I think this is much easier than command + click all the individual events. Next question is, how can I move several event at once. I have tried control + arrow down but that only lets me move one individual event. Not multiple, even if I have marked several. I don´t won´t to copy paste. Since I think this is a slower procedure. I´m pretty sure I have done this the "right" way before but could someone remind me of how it should be done I would be very thankful!

    Hi everybody - thanks for using my tip BUT BE AWARE!!!!
    The move function in the current iMovie 09 version STILL has a very serious bug.
    Whenever you move an event to a different disc, iMovie loses the Favourite/Reject and Keyword information. This can be a real drama when you rely on this information and find out that all this info has gone on the new disc.
    There is ANOTHER workaround though (sigh). You Select multiple events (like described in my tip before) and then you do COPY (and not move).
    Then you have duplicate events and you can delete the original. But the metadata will be present in the copy. I just found this solution in this thread

  • Select and open multiple files in Excel 2013

    In older versions of Excel, I can open several previous files at once by clicking File==> Open and then using the "look in" ==> History option to see my recently openend files. Using the Ctrl key, I can then select three or four recent files
    and then click Open to open them all simultaneously.
    I can't find a similar option for doing this in Office 2013 and it's driving me crazy! Can anyone help?

    Hi,
    As your description, my understanding is that you want to select and open the multiple files in Excel 2013.
    Thus, I tested to use Excel 2010. Click File tab>Click Open Tab or Recent Tab. I could not find "Look in" and "History option ".
    If I want to open the the multiple files, I only conld use open tab and choose one folder to use Ctrl to choose  the multiple files.
    And if I click Recent Tab, I could open one file when I select it. I could not reproduce your steps.
    If you could upload some pictures or more steps informarion in the forum, I’ll be appreciated for you.
    Next, If you want to select and open the multiple files in Excel 2013. I recommend you select the
    Quickly Access This Number of Recent Workbooks check box on the
    Advanced tab of the Excel Options dialog box (right below the Show This Number of Recent Workbooks option) to have Excel display the four most recently opened workbooks as menu items at the bottom of the File menu in the Backstage
    view.
    It'll help you find the 4 recent files quickly.

  • AS3 Load external image and add multiple instances to mcs

    Hi,
    Is there any way to load an external image and add it to more than one movie clip?
    Thanks,
    Chris McLaughlin

    Hi kglad,
    I was loading a larger jpeg to which I was applying 20 different masks so using the bitmapdata class to create duplicates was the best solution.
    It took me some time to wrap my head around it, but all is well.
    Thanks for pointing me in the right direction.

  • How to loop and add multiple records from db in .pdf using cfdocument

    I have a query that pulls a users information (Id, FirstName,
    LastName, Title,etc). I then use cfdocument to output a person's
    biography into a pdf. This is great, because we no longer have to
    manually create bios, as they are now all dynamically generated.
    The problem I have now is that we want to be able to select
    multiple users and create a .pdf with each of their bios included
    in the one pdf.
    How do I loop thru records from a sql database in a
    cfdocument that includes a header and footer in cfdocument items,
    and ensure that one persons bio doesn't continue on the page with
    anothers.
    Here's the code I have so far for the cfdocument:

    Put the query around just the body of your cfdocument not
    around the whole cfdocument tag. Also, move any query information
    out of the header and put that in the body of the document. Lastly,
    put a cfdocumentitem pagebreak after each bio...you will need to
    check the recordcount of the query against the row you are on so
    that you don't add an empty page break at the end.

  • How do I click multiple songs from my library and add them all at once to a playlist?

    Before I upgraded I could simply hold 'command' and select multible songs from my library, then drag and drop into my playlist.  This was simple and sensible (which is why I made the switch from pc to mac).  Now, as near as I can tell, I can only click on the song then hover over it and redirect it to the playlist ONE AT A TIME.  This is obviously horribly inefficient.  Can anyone help...please!?

    I just tested this on my itunes 11 on a macbook pro.  I have no problems doing multiple clicks using command.  Perhaps you might try rebooting.

  • In Acrobat XI, how can I select and move multiple text/image blocks simultaneously on the same page?

    I work with student-generated PDFs that require all content to be within a specific margin range. Occasionally tables and figures are indented or otherwise spaced incorrectly so that the content violates the margin requirements. In Acrobat X, I could use the select tool to draw a select box around all of the text and lines within a table, for example, and just slide the entire table over a bit to meet the requirements without sending the PDF back to the author for a correction. This didn't always work, but often enough that I was able to use it on a daily basis.
    Is there a way to select multiple (but not ALL) text blocks and image pieces on a page, so they may be moved simultaneously? If I have to select every text block and line (or every point and line within a graph) and move them each individually, this is going to be a nightmare.
    I have Acrobat XI for both Mac and Windows, but tend to use the Windows version more often.

    Hey, I'm using Acrobat XI and I can't multi select like I use too do with shift as always. Now I get a green note every time I want to multi select with shift + click as always. I also use Pitstop and I get the same green notes.
    Can someone help me ?

  • Select and scale multiple video tracks at once?

    Is there a way to select or "group" several video tracks in FCE and scale them as a single unit? Is there a key command to do this?
    For example, I am using a circle matt to vignette a video clip. I like the the two together just the way they are, (size relationship and relative positions), but I want to enlarge them as a single unit instead of independently.
    I have roughed-in multiple clips in my timeline with the same issue so it would be much faster if there is a way to group or select them and then scale them like you can in most graphic programs.
    Thanks,

    Hi Alchroma.
    I should have been clearer, but it's hard to describe. = )
    If I have video clips stacked under the playhead as tracks and they are all the same duration, and I hold the shift key to select several clips at once in the timeline -- can I scale them in the canvas as a unit (all at once) instead of grabbing the corner of each individual clip to enlarge it?
    Just wondering, like in Illustrator, if can I grab a single corner point, but scale several objects as a group if they are all selected at once. If I have to select each clip and the corresponding mask across the entire timeline, it will be hard to keep the attributes the same as well as time consuming.

  • Select and move multiple keyframs

    I just switched from Adobe Premier Elements on a PC to FCE 4. In PrEl, you can select multiple keyframes in their equivalent of the Viewer, you can them move them as a group. (Select them shift click or drag a square around them.)
    This is really useful for changing the timing of motion, i.e., if you decide that you'd like the motion to take a little longer etc.
    it also lets you move them to a different time w/out rick of changing the values in the overlay.
    I can't figure out a way to do this in FCE, is there a hidden way or something I'm missing?
    thanks

    I'd like to be able to stretch out a motion. For example, I scale in a photo. But I later decide the scaling should take 8 seconds rather than 5. I'd like to grab the 2nd keyframe for scale and rotation and move them both equally 3 seconds later.
    I believe moving a motion path just changes its position, but doesn't affect it's duration.

  • Can I select and drop multiple photos onto the video timeline in the order that I select them?

    can I select multiple photos and drop them onto the video time line in the order I select them in?
    Why do I loose the link to my files in the organiser?
    I have edited and saved several projects, now I want to combine them as one movie how do I do that?

    There is often confusion, as to what the Project File, PREL, is and what's in it, plus how to use it.
    The PREL, or Project File, is an XML code database, with instructions, and links to one's media files. It has no media files inside it, just links to where they were located on the system, when the user Imported the media files into the Project. For more detail, please see this article: http://forums.adobe.com/message/3392837#3392837
    When one does a Save, Save_As, or Save_As_a_Copy, it is ONLY the PREL file that is written. That article goes into detail on the various types of Save, and their uses.
    If one wishes to "save" a Project as media, they need to Export/Share/Publish that Project's Timeline to a media file. This file, will then display in Organizer, or any other cataloging utility program (with a few exceptions, but those are related to the specs. chosen in the Export/Share/Publish operation).
    I hope that sorts out the confusion and good luck,

  • Can't select and print multiple files from Mac OS' Finder

    I'm using Acrobat Reader on Mac OSX. I'm used to be able to select multiple files in Finder and then press Apple-P to print all of them in one batch. Reader blocks this, by opening the first of the documents and then display the Print Setup dialogue, instead of just printing the document according to the default settings.
    When the dialogue is displayed, the reader is blocked from opening and printing the remaining documents, and just displays an error message that it couldn't open them. That is not a nice behaviour.

    Hi Mikael,
    It is not possible to open another document while printing another document through Acrobat.
    You might want to create an action in Acrobat to print all the pdf's in a particular folder.
