Finding Playlists

[donaldnewlands]

I thought Spotify was all about the playlists!?! Where are they hiding? Why is it so hard to find and "like" playlists on Spotify?

[donaldnewlands]

For example, I just did a search for "Andrew Bird" and Spotify returned a set of only about 20 playlists that were all titled with just the name of the artist.  I can't believe that there are only 20 playlists on Spotify that contain this artist?!   I really don't want to listen to playlists of just this one artist, I want to to listen to what other people who like the artist are listenting to.  I'd also like to know which playlists other users think are really good. Am I missing something?  Thanks.

Hi, and welcome to the community!

The way to search for playlists is by typing:

playlist:name where name is the name of the playlist.

This will display a list of playlist art things at the top of the search window, and then you can press see all in the top right to see all the playlists.

Hey, if you are using the desktop client, try some of the apps such as Sifter or Sharemyplaylists too.

Exactly - it's strange to me that you need 3rd party apps for something that seems like it should be the core part of the service
