Spotify’s new Playlist Notes let users and editors explain their song picks
Spotify has introduced 'Playlist Notes,' a feature allowing users to add context to their playlists and enabling editors to explain their song selections. This update is part of a broader strategy to increase social engagement and personalization within the streaming platform.
Why it matters
This feature reflects the ongoing trend of streaming services evolving into social platforms to differentiate themselves from competitors.
Spotify announced Monday the launch of “Playlist Notes,” a new feature that lets listeners add their thoughts to the playlists they make. The feature builds on “ User Notes ,” which the streaming giant debuted last month, allowing people to add personal notes to individual tracks.
With Playlist Notes, users can add context to songs, podcast episodes, and audiobooks in their playlists. Maybe a song reminds you of someone, brings back a specific memory, or is simply a track you think everyone should hear.
To add a note, go to the mobile app, then open a playlist that you either own or collaborate on, tap the three dots next to a track, podcast episode, or audiobook, choose “add note,” and save it. Anyone who can view the playlist can see the note.
