How to Make Spotify Playlist?
1. Create a Playlist from the Desktop App by Clicking on “File”
Now, before we start to talk about how to make Spotify playlist, let’s assume that you have:
- Created a Spotify account (free or premium)
- Downloaded the desktop app for your respective OS
- Signed in using your email/username and password
This particular tutorial will focus on using Spotify from the Mac desktop app and iOS mobile app. Therefore some minor differences may be seen between app versions for other OSes like Windows and Android.
First, to create a new playlist, navigate to the menu at the top of the screen and click on File > New Playlist. Enter a name for your playlist, upload an image (optional) for it and add a description (optional).
Now, you need to click Create when you are done. You will see the name of your playlist appear in the left sidebar of the desktop under the Playlists heading.
2. Create a Playlist from the Mobile App by Navigating to Your Spotify Playlists
You can make playlist from the Spotify mobile app, too. To do this, open the app and navigate to your playlists section by tapping Your Library in the main menu at the bottom of the screen. After that, tap Playlists from the list of given tabs to open.
Here, you should tap Edit in the top right corner and then tap the Create option that appears in the top left corner. Enter a name for your new playlist in the given field and tap Create.
If you want to add an image and a description to your newly created playlist, you will have to do it from the desktop app since the mobile currently doesn’t appear to let you do this.
3. Add Tracks to Your Playlist from the Desktop App
Now that you have created a playlist, you can start adding tracks to it. You can add individual tracks, entire albums or all tracks included in a song’s radio.
Individual tracks: Hover your cursor over any track and look for the three dots that appear to the far right of it. Click on it to open a menu of options and hover over Add to Playlist to see a list of your current playlists. Click the one that you want to add the track to. Alternatively, you can also right click on the song title in the music player at the bottom of the desktop app as it’s playing to add it to a playlist.
Entire albums: When you come across a great album you’d like to add to a playlist without having to individually add each track, look for the three dots that appear in the details section at the top right beneath the name of the album. Click it to get to the Add to Playlist option and select one of your playlists to add it.
Song radio: All tracks included in a song’s radio can be added to a playlist the exact same way entire albums can. You can do this by clicking the three dots at the top and adding it to your playlist.
4. Add Tracks to Your Spotify Playlists from the Mobile App
Similar to the desktop app, you can also use the mobile app to add individual tracks, entire albums and all the tracks included in a song’s radio to a playlist.
Individual tracks: Look for the three dots that appear to the right of any track title and tap it to bring up a list of options—one of which is Add to Playlist. Alternatively, if you are currently listening to a track that you’d like to add to a playlist, just tap the track name in the music player at the bottom of the screen to pull it up in full screen mode. Then tap the three dots that appear to the right of the track name (on the opposite side of the plus sign (+) button to save it to your library.
Entire albums: While viewing the tracklist of an artist album within the Spotify mobile app, you can add all tracks to a playlist by tapping the three dots in the top right corner of the screen. And then tapping Add to Playlist from the options that slide up from the bottom.
Song radio: Just like on the desktop app, all tracks included in a song’s radio can be added to your playlist the exact same way as entire albums in the mobile app. Just look for those three little dots in the top right corner of any song’s radio.
5. Remove Tracks from Your Playlist from the Spotify Desktop App
Maybe you added a track by mistake or you simply start to dislike a particular track after listening to it too many times. Therefore you have an alternative to be able to remove it from your playlist anytime you want.
On the desktop app, access your playlist and hover your cursor over the track you want to remove. Right click on it and then click Remove from this Playlist from the dropdown menu.
6. Remove Tracks from Your Playlist in the Spotify Mobile App
Removing tracks from a playlist from within the mobile app is a little different than doing it from the desktop app.
Navigate to your playlist (Library > Playlists > Playlist Name) and look for the three dots in the top right corner of your playlist. Tap it and then select Edit from the list of options that slides up from the bottom of the screen.
You’ll see little red dots with white lines through them to the left of each track in your playlist. Tap it to remove the track.
You’ll also see three white lines appear to the right of each track. By tapping and holding onto it, you can drag it around to reorder the tracks in your playlist if you want.
7. Make Your Spotify Playlist Secret or Collaborative
When you create a playlist, it’s set to public by default—meaning that anyone who searches for any terms included in the name of your playlist may find it in their search results and be able to follow it plus listen to it. They can’t, however, make any change to your playlist by adding or removing new tracks.
If you want to keep your playlist private or give other users permission to edit your playlist, you can do so by configuring the playlist settings both in the desktop app or the mobile app.
Make your playlist secret: In the desktop app, simply right click on the name of your playlist in the left sidebar and select Make Secret from the menu that appears. In the mobile app, navigate to YourLibrary > Playlists, tap your playlist, tap the three dotsin the top right corner of the playlist tab and select Make Secret from the menu that slides up from the bottom.
Make your Spotify playlist collaborative: In the desktop app, right click on your playlist in the left sidebar and select Collaborative Playlist. In the mobile app, navigate to Your Library > Playlists, tap your playlist, tap the three dots in the top right corner and select Make Collaborative.
If you decide to make your playlist secret or collaborative, you can remove these settings by tapping them again to turn them off. Your playlist will then be put back on its default public setting.
8. Organize and Duplicate Your Spotify Playlist
The more playlists you create, the more likely you’ll want to keep them organized and perhaps even duplicate them so you can build on them as new ones.
Create playlist folders: Folders help you group similar playlists together so you don’t have to spend too much time scrolling through your playlists when you have a lot of them. On the desktop app, you can go to File > New Playlist Folder in the top menu or right-click anywhere in the playlist tab to select Create Folder. Give it a name and then simply use your cursor to drag and drop your playlists into your new folder.
Create a similar playlist: If you already have a great playlist that you want to use as inspiration for another, you can duplicate it so that you don’t have to waste time rebuilding it manually. On the desktop app, simply right-click on any playlist name that you want to duplicate and then select Create Similar Playlist. A new one will be added to your playlist section with the same playlist name and a (2) beside it to differentiate it from the original one.
Folders and similar playlists can only be created from the desktop app at this time, but they will be updated to appear in your playlists section within the mobile app as long as you’re signed in to your account.
9. Listen to Your Playlist’s Radio Station for Finding New Tracks
One of the best ways to discover new tracks to add to your playlist is by actively listening to your playlist’s radio. This is like a radio station that contains similar tracks to the ones included in your playlist.
