My Question or Issue

Hi Community,

When I share one of the common playlist (like "Songs to sing in the car") the person I share the playlist with got a completely other playlist composed. Why? It makes no sence to share a playlist, when the other guy getting something completely different. It is not just in another order, there are completely different songs in it.

So my question, how to share a common/proposed playlist so that the other guy gets exactly the same playlist.

Example:

https://open.spotify.com/playlist/37i9dQZF1DWWMOmoXKqHTD?si=nyVXcvbfTgW3HS8wkh1DxQ

Try it on different accounts, and you will get different songs. wth?

Thanks for any advice.

Cheers, Laserstrahl

Hey @Laserstrahl.

Thanks for getting in tough!

Certain Spotify playlists vary per person. We base this on what the user listens to so we can create a playlist that fits even beter 🙂

Hope this explains your question. Let us know if you have further questions.

Have a nice day.

Okay, but so it makes no sence to share such a playlist to be honest.

Is there a way to create some kind of copy of such a playlist, and share this copy?

--> When I share a playlist I want that the other guy will have exactly the same playlist. Otherwise you could just disable that option at all...

Please let me know how to achieve this!

Hey @Laserstrahl.

Thanks for getting back to us!

It's possible to share a copy. It's easiest to do this on a computer.

Simply create your own playlist and go to the playlist with the songs you like. Select all songs (Ctrl/Cmd+A) and drag all songs into your own playlist. This playlist will stay the way it is.

We're trying to create a more personalized experience by having some Spotify playlists change based on the users listening behavior.

Hope this answers your question. Let us know if you have further questions.

Have a nice day!
