If your group of friends is anything like mine, you’re obligated to share every great track you come across. Whether you send it to the group chat or through social media, sharing our favorite songs with our friends is one of the best ways to find new music. If only there was a way you could team up to create the ultimate playlist that all of your friends could add to whenever they please… Oh wait, there is! Here’s how to make collaborative playlists on Spotify.
How To Make Collaborative Playlists On Spotify
Let’s dive in…
With Spotify’s collaborative playlists, it’s up to you to decide who you want to give access to. The only way your friends can start adding songs to the playlist is if they’ve been given the web address for your playlist. To make sure no random strangers can start adding nonsense to your perfect playlist, you also can’t publish these playlists to your public profile. (It’s for the best, I promise)
To add some accountability to what’s added, the username for whoever adds which track is shown for you to see. That way, if your friend Jim keeps adding Brittney Spears to your strictly Underground Rap playlist, you know exactly who to yell at.
Follow these steps to get started:
- Create a playlist, as usual.
- Next, right-click its title in the main sidebar and select Collaborative Playlist from the pop-up menu that appears. (The music note will turn from white to green, and a little dot should appear next to it.)
- On that same right-click menu, click share to give access to whoever you want to collab with.
In Conclusion…
Collaborating on the ultimate playlist with your friends is a really fun way to keep everyone up to date on the hottest tracks. We hope this post helped you through creating some collaborative playlists of your own.
Happy playlisting!
