Key Takeaway:
Need to quickly add lots of songs to a Spotify playlist? This guide shows you how to bulk add tracks on desktop, manually on mobile, or transfer full playlists from other apps like Apple Music, step-by-step and hassle-free.
Spotify playlists are one of the easiest ways to organize your music. Whether you’re grouping songs by mood, genre, or a specific moment in time, playlists help you access your favorites faster.
In this guide, we’ll show you how to add multiple songs to a Spotify playlist, on desktop, mobile, and even from another platform using Free Your Music.
What is a Spotify playlist?
Think of a playlist as a digital mixtape. It’s a personal collection of songs that you can name, edit, and listen to whenever you want, no limit to how many tracks you add.
Your playlists can be themed ("Road Trip 2025"), seasonal ("Summer Chill"), or based on moments ("Workout Beast Mode"). You’ll find all your playlists saved to your Spotify account, so they sync across devices, whether you’re on your phone, tablet, or desktop. Yippi.
Create as many as you like. Just remember to give them clear names so they’re easy to find later.
How to create a playlist on Spotify
Creating a playlist on Spotify takes seconds. Here’s how to do it:
- On desktop, click File > New Playlist or use the shortcut Cmd + N (Mac).
- Or simply click the "New Playlist" button at the bottom left of the app.
Next, give your playlist a name. You can also add a custom image and description if you want to personalize it further.
Once saved, your playlist appears in the sidebar and is ready to be filled with songs.
To add a song:
- Right-click the track you want (e.g., “Bad Guy” by Billie Eilish).
- Choose Add to playlist, then select the playlist you want to add it to.
Method 1: Add multiple songs at once (Desktop only)
If you’re using Spotify on a computer, you can add several songs to a playlist in one go.
Here’s how:
- Hold down Ctrl (or Cmd on Mac) and click to select multiple tracks.
- Then right-click and choose Add to playlist, or drag them directly onto a playlist.
Want to select everything? Use Ctrl/Cmd + A to highlight all songs in a list, then move them to your playlist with one action.
This is especially useful when copying songs from one playlist to another.
Can you add multiple songs on mobile?
On mobile, you’ll need to add songs one by one—there’s no bulk-select option like on desktop. Still, it’s quick to do:
- Tap Your Library, then choose Create Playlist.
- Give your playlist a name (e.g. “Best of 2021”).
- Use the search bar to find the song you want.
- Tap the "+" icon next to the song to add it.
The playlist stays saved in your library, ready for more songs anytime.
