Why can’t users find my playlists???

[andreacochran]

When i play one of my many playlists at work people often ask if they can check it out. I tell them the name of the playlist (all of mine have weird specific names) and when they type that into spotify’s search bar it never ever brings my playlist up. Why??? Do you only make this possible if someone has over one million followers? Or what is the point of not allowing someone to find another person’s playlists? 

my idea is to make it easier to find these things we create for others to hear!

Hey @andreacochran,

Thanks for posting in the Community! We've moved you post here, as it fits this board better 🙂 

The best way to share playlists is to give your friends or audience a direct link to them. This should be the fastest way to reach your playlists, as the Search feature needs to browse trough a huge catalog of content and it also takes into account the users' own listening behaviors and favored content! Once folks have followed your link and saved your playlists, then the Search engine on their apps should do a much better job in finding it just by the title alone. You can see more info on sharing your playlists here.

Also make sure you've set your playlists to be public and not private, otherwise the search engine will not list them in any case. Check the article on privacy and access settings of playlists here for more info.

Hope this clears things up. If you have any questions or need anything else, the Community is here for you.
