Selecting multiple songs in playlist view

(1/2) > >>

sammydee:
Is there (or is there likely to be) a feature for selecting multiple songs, and manipulating them in the current playlist view (or in the whole filesystem for that matter).

I am thinking something along the lines of shift/select or control/select in linux or windows for selecting files. This option would be quite useful for deleting a whole album ahead in the playlist, or removing the entire contents of a playlist. It would also enable you to move whole albums around as one object within a playlist. This idea could possibly be extended so that multiple songs could be inserted into a playlist, ie you would highlight exactly the songs you wanted from a folder and insert those. It could be done by holding down the record button maybe (on the iriver h140 anyway).

Am I making any sense? I haven't seen anything like it around, would it be very difficult to code?

Regards,
Sam

well there somewhat already is a way to move whole albums, you just hold the selct button over the album or artistyou want, which will bring up the context menu. then you select copy, and then navigate to where you want the copy pasted, hold the select button and select paste, and then you have moved more than one file. i do agree with your idee though, mutiple selection of files would be nicee, and seems easy to impliment, place your idea in the feature request section, and the Devs. will get to it sooner or later

good idea the devs will be proud

Nate!:
I think this would be a great playlist manipulation feature.  

As was stated before, you can move whole albums around with the cut and paste method.  You just can't move multiple files.
