It would be useful to be able to delete multiple playlists at once.
For example, I have hundreds and hundreds of playlists in my history. I want to tidy them up so that only ones from actual club nights are left, but to do this I must delete many playlists one at a time.

Ideas to accomplish this:

• Enable Shift - Click selection of playlists in the side bar
• When you click on "History", the main library panel shows an information panel. List the playlists here and enable shift-click selection

Even though it's already a couple of years that this issue was created it is still valid for my use case as well. I have around 400 playlists that I've imported when I started using Mixxx and since then I've had a lot of time to go through my library and remove all the duplicates of songs I've purchased. This means that a lot of the entries in my playlists have changed dramatically which means that the internal ID every entry received at the initial import are not valid anymore.

So I prefer to build up the playlist library from scratch but I really don't want to delete 400+ playlists one by one ;-)

I hope there is a (not to complex) solution for that simple problem ...
