Following a playlist saves someone else’s playlist to your library without turning it into your own editable copy.

Where The Follow Action Appears

For users who are not the playlist owner, BeatPass currently supports:
  • Follow and Following on the playlist page
  • Follow and Unfollow in the playlist context menu
Owners do not get the follow button for their own playlists.

What Following Does

  • Adds the playlist to your playlist library.
  • Lets you reopen it quickly from your account’s playlist list.
  • Keeps you on the original playlist rather than a duplicate.

What Following Does Not Do

  • It does not let ordinary followers add or remove tracks.
  • It does not let ordinary followers rename the playlist or change its image, description, privacy, or collaboration settings.
  • It does not guarantee a dedicated playlist-update notification feed.

Unfollowing

Normal unfollowing is simple:
  1. Open the playlist or its context menu.
  2. Use Following or Unfollow.
  3. BeatPass removes the playlist from your library list.

Special Case: Collaborative Editors

If you are an accepted collaborator instead of a plain follower:
  • The playlist can still show the Following state.
  • Unfollowing uses a confirmation flow because you are leaving the collaboration.
  • Confirming that action removes your editor access.
