Collaborative Playlists

Collaborative playlists let you build collections together with other users. Invite friends, collaborators, or fellow creators to add and remove tracks from a shared playlist.

What Collaborators Can Do

When you invite someone to a collaborative playlist, they can:
  • Add tracks — Add any beat to the playlist
  • Remove tracks — Remove tracks from the playlist
  • View all tracks — See everything in the playlist
Collaborators cannot:
  • Delete the entire playlist
  • Change playlist settings (name, image, privacy)
  • Invite other collaborators
  • Remove other collaborators
Only the playlist owner has full control over settings and collaborator management.

Managing Collaborators

Viewing Current Collaborators

Removing a Collaborator

As the playlist owner, you can remove collaborators at any time:

  2. Go to the Collaborators section
  3. Remove the user you want to revoke access from

Leaving a Collaborative Playlist

If you’re a collaborator (not the owner) and want to leave:
