[Discover] Find public Playlists that contain Song/Artist

[ryeguy_24]

My theory (not rocket science):

If someone else's playlist includes a song or artists that I like, there is a good change that I will enjoy the rest of their playlist. 

Currently, you can only search for public playlists via playlist name.  Considering that most people do not name their playlists to accurately reflect the type of music it contains, I believe that the current search functionality is quite limited. 

Spotify should have functionality to search for public playlists that contain a song/artist.  I think would be immensly helpful for music discovery.  

Best of luck, 

Ryan

P.S. - Down the line, it would be interesting to see "similarity scores" between two playlists.  Could be quite interesting for finding new music.

@gstlb I believe it will only show playlists that have that song name in the playlist title OR playlist description. One workaround is to put the song names in your description (Right click playlist -> Edit Details). The description length is limited though.

Hey spotify-team,

there are a gazillion comments on this issue. Still no chance to implement a feature like this?

Please, do something about it. I find it really annoying to keep guessing what a playlist would be named if it contained a certain song I like.

Thanks and all the best

I would love if this could maybe even be implemented.

I''m new to Spotify and one of the first things I wanted to do was search for playlists with specific artists, but was not able to.  Your post was very ironic and I could not agree with you more.  This just seems like an obvious search filter and am surprised it's not available.

I think that this is a great idea; being able to see which public playlists on Spotify contain a song or artist could potentially help with discovering similar music that one hasn’t yet listened to
