[Playlists] Only selected Playlist Authors for Collaborative Playlist

Submitted by on ‎2012-11-18 11:27 PM
Status: Implemented

Hi!

 

Recently, me and a few friends have started to get this kick ass playlist together of the music we all share and like. Obviously Spotify is the best way to do this. However, a playlist can only be managed by one single user.

 

Wouldn't it be a great idea that the 'founder' of the playlist can assign co-authors?

 

Would love to hear the feedback!

Hey everyone,

We're happy to announce that you will soon have new options for managing collaborative playlists - they are rolling out to everyone over the coming weeks.

Users will have the ability to review who currently has access to individual playlists, share collaborative playlists with large public groups, or keep them small and private for that special tightly-knit group of friends.

You will be able to:
  • Pick your favorites. As a playlist creator, you can now invite or remove users from collaborating on your playlists, meaning there’s more control over who has access to editing the content you love.
  • Share privately. You can now set your collaborative playlists to private, so no one can view, search, listen to or share a playlist– except for those chosen few who have been invited or given collaborative access.
  • Change your mind? At any given time, a playlist owner has the power to see, add and remove who gets to collaborate and follow their playlists.
For details on how the feature works, see:

Because of this change, this other idea is also being implemented. 

If you don't see this yet, don't worry. Just make sure to keep your app up to date and it should be available for you soon. 

Thanks for giving us your feedback in the Community.

It really bugs me that this feature hasn't been implemented. Me and a couple of friends like searching for specific music together. Because we like our music, we'd love to share it, but now our playlist keep getting filled with trash. It's hard to keep 10+ people under control, and anoying to have to rely on others not to share the link.

 

I'd love to be able to assign certain users who can add/delete to my playlists. I don't understand why this isn't in spotify yet. isn't there any way?

I really want this feature, I've had random people adding/removing music to my playlist which is annoying. I don't mind sharing my playlists with people but would like to asign people that can add/remove from the playlist. Please implement, would be a very welcome addition.

Any update on whether this could be implemented? We use Spotify at work and it would be great for us all to add tracks to a queue to our main work account, or even just view what's playing from our desktops.

This would be a great idea! We're sick of the Radio in our office.

Agreed, this would be really awesome. I'd like to have a collaborative playlist that I'm working on with a few other people, that we can also make public.

 

Seems like it would be extremely useful!

So, do somehing about it! 

 

Someone marked this as a duplicate with https://community.spotify.com/t5/Spotify-Ideas/User-restricted-collaborative-playlists/idi-p/70721, and this thread only shows us what we have (original post), and says nothing about what the so called "duplicate idea" does: Restrict a collaborated playlist!
