Bulk add tracks to Playlist after filtering

9 votes

the ability to either add a whole category to a playlist, as this will help with compliance. if this is not possible the alternative if that when adding tracks to a playlist the once added this should not be displayed in the tracks available to add section. in effect only showing tracks that are available to add and not already in the playlist. Thank you

I would like to be able to create a new playlist by selecting a tag(s); the new playlist would then be populated by the tracks associated with the tag. Now I have to select the tracks individually. Clockwheels partially addressed this, but I would like to have the option of total control over constructing my playlists.

Add check-boxes to playlist editor. Once you filter/sort your tracks by category, type, search field you can then select and add a batch of tracks to the playlist.

I completely support this idea. I have tagged and categorised all my uploads and now find that in order to create a playlist, I have to add items one at a time, which fails to fully utilise either my categories or tags.
What what would be far better and far quicker would be for me to be able to quickly create playlists for shows, by being able to add an entire category to a playlist, random sort it for compliance, and then be able to quickly remove all other tracks beyond the timeframe I want it to fit.
This way it is a truly random selection, from an entire category, set-up to mirror what I want to play and when; e.g. all 70s tracks for an hour, which have already been tagged/categorised as such. Put them all into a playlist, sort them, then just use the ones that fill 60 mins, by removing the excess music, or alternatively by being able to select & keep just the first 60 mins, which then effectively removes the excess.
