Hi! I couldn't get the definitive answer anywhere here, maybe I missed something, but I was wonder:

How private is a Private playlist on Spotify? 

Let me explain: when I listen to a song from a private playlist, does that show in the spotify social/activity feed (on the right in the Desktop app) that my friends can see when I'm listening in public mode? It's fine if they know what song I listen to, but do they also see the 'source' from which I listen?

Alas, does it show the name of the playlist and is that playlist therefore then clickable for my friends? (In other words, are private playlists more like publicly 'unlisted' rather than actually private, like on YouTube) Or does it just show the 'original' data: the song, the artist and what album it's from? (Which would mean the playlist itself is private, just not the song & artist that I'm listening to at that time)

Don't get me wrong: I do understand you can listen in private mode. That removes all the information. I don't mind they know the songs I listen to, I just don't want them to see the playlist info like the name, the picture, etc.

So how private is a private playlist on Spotify? Is it private or unlisted? 🙂 Thanks!
