From the Author: Creating and Subscribing to Playlists in Spotify
Author Kim Gilmour Playlists are what make the world of Spotify go
around. All the playlists you create or subscribe to in Spotify are
displayed in the left-hand sidebar of the application. You can create a
playlist around any theme you want. In Spotify, you can easily turn
albums you come across in your searches into playlists, too. Follow
these easy steps from Spotify For Dummies author Kim Gilmour and get
started creating your own music mixes in no time. To put together a
playlist: 1) Click New Playlist, located at the bottom of Spotify's
left sidebar. New playlist turns into a text box. 2) Type the name for
your playlist in the text box, and then press Enter to confirm your
selection. 3) After you come across a song that you want to add to your
playlist, just drag and drop that track onto the playlist title.
Alternatively, right-click the track (Ctrl-click on a Mac) and select
Add To from the pop-up menu that appears to bring up a list of your
existing playlists. Select the playlist to which you want to add your
track. 4) Click your playlist name on the left sidebar. Your new
playlist appears in Spotify's main pane. A selection of albums from the
track listings are displayed as the playlist's artwork. To turn an
album into a playlist: 1) First, access the album listing in Spotify.
Either conduct a search for the artist’s name using Spotify's search
bar and click through to the album title from the search results or
search for the title of the album directly. Alternatively, you might
come across a link to the album, on Facebook, for example. 2) Click and
drag the album’s name onto New Playlist, located at the bottom of
Spotify's left sidebar. The album instantly turns into a playlist, with
the title consisting of the album’s name and artist. To subscribe to a
playlist someone else has created: 1) Click on a playlist link so that
it opens in Spotify. You can access playlists in a variety of ways. You
might follow a link to one on a playlist-sharing site like
ShareMyPlaylists.com, or see a link to it on Facebook's Music
dashboard. Alternatively, a friend may have sent you a link to a
playlist through Spotify’s inbox feature. 2) Under the playlist name,
click Subscribe. The playlist appears in the left-hand sidebar, meaning
you've subscribed to it. It’s now accessible to you at any time.
Publishing playlists: Warning: Activity relating to playlists you
create or subscribe to may be automatically published to your public
Spotify profile page—the page that appears when friends click your name
if it’s displayed in their People Bar. You may want to turn this
automatic publishing off or check its status. 1) To turn off the
automatic publishing feature, access your Spotify preferences by
clicking File > Preferences on a PC or Spotify > Preferences on a
Mac. 2) Under Profile, check if “Automatically publish new playlists”
is checked or not. If it is, then any playlist you create is displayed
on your public Spotify profile. You'll need to uncheck the box if you
don’t want your playlists to be displayed. Tip: If you turn automatic
publishing off, you can still pick and choose the playlists you want to
publicly share with your friends or the greater Spotify community. 1)
To share a playlist, right-click a playlist (Ctrl-click on a Mac) and
click Publish. 2) You can also share a playlist from your Spotify
profile page by clicking your name on the top right of the Spotify
application, then clicking Profile. Click the Edit button to publish or
unpublish your playlists.
