Playlist Song Recomendations

kiethw — Wed, 11 Aug 2021 23:38:20 GMT

I have a playlist that I created. I am looking for song recomendations from my playlist. If I take my playlist and use "go to playlist radio" option will that reccomend new songs?

If not is there a way to get recomendations from my playlist? I have over 500 songs and looking for more songs from all the different artists and new artisits based off what I have.

Hey @kiethw!

Thanks for your question!

Playlist radio is based in the songs that are in the list and it should give you some new tracks that are related to the music you've already added. Not all songs in the radio will be fresh finds, some will be taken from your existing selection.

You should be able to see song recommendations on the bottom of the list on both mobile and desktop.

On desktop there is one more option to get recommended songs - you can right-click on your playlist in the left-hand bar and choose Create similar playlist. This will make a new list with songs based on the ones you've already included.

Hope this info helps!

I just have create playlist when I right click on a playlist. Is this the same thing?

Hmm, that's a bit odd @kiethw.

You should get the option to ''Create a similar playlist'' when you right-click a list that you've made yourself.

Could you just make sure that you're trying this on one of your own playlists, not on a followed one?

If you don't see the option, feel free to send us a screenshot and let us know your Spotify version and what device and OS you're using.

We'll be happy to take a closer look.

Attached is the screen shot of the menu I get when I right-click on any playlist. This current image is my playlist.

Hi there @kiethw,

Thanks for the reply.

The Create Similar Playlist option is available in the Desktop app and it's not available in the web player.

Hope this clears things up 🙂
