Issue Posting Playlists in the Playlist Exchange

Funkpimp72 — Sat, 07 Sep 2019 16:20:53 GMT

Hello Spotify Community,

I'm unable to post any playlists within the playlist exchange. I've added many playlists in the past but the now the feature wont accept any playlists I now try to post.

Everytime I post a link.. the link always previews but after I click 'Post'the following message appears......

'You must include a Spotify Playlist URI/link to create a post in the Playlist Exchange'

I've tried posting from my phone and PC yet nothing seem to work. I have also attempted at posting different playlists but stll no luck.

I would appreciate any sort of help in this matter.

Many Thanks. John

Hey @Funkpimp72

The issue lies within the way playlist links look now. There is a missing element that the Playlist Exchange seems to need.
Let me explain. 🙂

This is what the playlist link and URI look like:

spotify:playlist:4TbyuRDj5DjZQwcPEFM1Zs
https://open.spotify.com/playlist/4TbyuRDj5DjZQwcPEFM1Zs

This is how they used to look like (that works in Playlist Exchange):

spotify:user:1185903410:playlist:4TbyuRDj5DjZQwcPEFM1Zs
https://open.spotify.com/user/1185903410/playlist/4TbyuRDj5DjZQwcPEFM1Zs

All you have to do is edit your playlist links to have your username in them. Copy your profile's url/URI to find out what your username is. 🙂

Try it out and let me know how it goes!

Hello Sebasty,

I've just followed your instructions and it worked, I've just published a playlist without any problems. This was beggining to drive me mad to be honest!

Thank you so much for your help and taking the time to respond.

Regards. FP-72

LOL and it has actually worked in the body of the reply here!

I actually just pasted:

(spotify:playlist:1JssNER1XC8OTOtFB7AIWU)

...and it appears to work in the post text box but NOT the box you paste a playlist link into! interesting.
