Hello

I’ve created 2 lists with about 1000 songs, I’d like top create a third one which would be a merge of the two.  
Is it possible to do it easily ?  
I can’t even select all the element of a list at once, and if I do it one by one I don’t have the option to add them in a new list.

Thank for your help

Rgds

I guess you’re talking about merging 2 playlists?!  
While you can actually select all items (hover over the first item and select it, scroll to the end of the list, press Shift and select the last item)… it’s true you cannot merge playlists. In fact, all you can do with those multi-selected items in a regular playlist is to remove them from that playlist.

When doing it one-by-one you can hover over each single item and click on `Add to Playlist` from the context menu of that playlist item (via `...`).

Edit: not sure if you can achieve that with something like the ExportTools plugin

Indeed I was talking of playlist. Thank you for your answer. I’ve noticed i could do it one by one, but given there are 2000 elements I’m a bit lazzy.

What is the export tool plugin ?

Maybe this one instead:

>
> WebTools is a collection of tools for Plex Media Server. Like the Unsupported AppStore (UAS) - ukdtom/WebTools.bundle

Download the two lists, and merge with some external tool.  
Then import back again

Thx

It should work indeed, Although it’s complicated ! PLex should add the possibility off adding an item from a playlist into a playlist ;o)

This technique should still be working: [Music Playlists - Ability To Combine?](https://forums.plex.tv/t/music-playlists-ability-to-combine/203891/2)
