Everytime I copy embed code and insert here, my playlist doesnt show as a playlist with a player button. Just shows the code linked. How does one make it appear as an actual playlist like it appears on the actual Spotify App? Thanks
Hi m081u5,
1. Copy the URI (not the embed code) from your Spotify playlist.
2. Go back to your Spotify Community post and click the "insert code" button (right beside the photos button)
3. Paste in the pop-up box the "insert code"
Should work. Let me know.
Thank you. It Worked 🙂

Is there a way to filter out certain artists from playlists so their songs are omitted?
Nope
It means how many characters you have left to type.. 😉
I was hoping it meant something like how many people had discovered my playlist & were enjoying it. Oh well. The truth hurts sometimes, right? Thanks for bursting my bubble . . . I mean, thanks for taking the time & trouble to answer.
it's not important how many people listen to your playlist. The most important thing is that you enjoy your playlist
