# Feature description: This feature is quite useful ([Multi select in grid/lists](https://support.symfonium.app/t/multi-select-in-grid-lists/2432)), but it would be nice if it had a button to select all the items in the current list. ### Problem solved: I have some quite large playlists and it would good to select all the items in them at once to perform actions on them. ### Brought benefits: I’ll admit it’s possible this is specific to me, but any user who has moderately large playlists would benefit from this. ### Other application solutions:     ### Additional description and context:     ### Screenshots / Mockup:      ---

Sorry this is not really possible as all the data is not always loaded in memory. What would be the action that you want to do on all the media? ---

Right now I’d like to favorite them all. But I can also imagine wanting to add them all to another playlist. I was also looking for another tool or program that can take a playlist or playlist file and favorite them all in navidrome if you know something else that would help with that. ---

Well you can use the API [https://opensubsonic.netlify.app/](https://opensubsonic.netlify.app/) and write a script. ---

Yeah, that was what I was going to try eventually, although I don’t have any experience with the subsonic api (yet). Thanks for the responses! ---

It’s not complicated and you can cheat, enable logs in Symfonium do the things and see the calls in the logs 😉 ---

Was pretty simple actually, got a simple shell pipeline with curl and xargs to add my favorites from a playlist. Thanks for the pointers, I guess my immediate use-case isn’t so immediate now.
