Following Playlists
When you find a playlist created by someone else that you enjoy, you can follow it to add it to your library. Following gives you quick access without creating a duplicate.
How to Follow a Playlist
From the Playlist Page
- Open a public playlist created by another user
- Click the Follow button (heart icon)
- The button changes to Following to confirm
- Right-click on a playlist
- Select Follow
- The playlist is added to your library
What Following Does
When you follow a playlist:
- It appears in your Library under Playlists
- You can access it quickly from your sidebar
- You’ll see updates when tracks are added or removed
- The playlist stays synced with the original
What Following Doesn’t Do
Following is different from copying:
- You cannot add or remove tracks (unless you’re a collaborative editor)
- You cannot change the playlist name, image, or description
- Changes made by the owner appear automatically for you
Unfollowing a Playlist
To stop following a playlist:
From the Playlist Page
- Open the playlist you’re following
- Click the Following button
- The button changes back to Follow
- The playlist is removed from your library
- Right-click on the followed playlist
- Select Unfollow
- The playlist is removed from your library
Following vs. Other Relationships
| Your Role | Can View | Can Add/Remove Tracks | Can Edit Details |
|---|
| Owner | Yes | Yes | Yes |
| Collaborator | Yes | Yes | No |
| Follower | Yes | No | No |
Special Case: Collaborative Playlists
If you’re invited as a collaborator on someone else’s playlist, you automatically follow it with editing privileges. When you leave a collaborative playlist:
- A confirmation appears explaining what you’ll lose
- If you confirm, you lose editing access
- If the playlist is public, you can still follow it as a regular follower
Finding Playlists to Follow
Discover playlists to follow by:
- Browsing public playlists — Explore what others have curated
- Checking producer profiles — See playlists created by producers you like
- Following recommendations — The platform may suggest popular playlists
- Getting shared links — Friends can share playlist links with you
Managing Followed Playlists
All playlists you follow appear in your Library alongside playlists you’ve created. To tell them apart:
- Your playlists — Show your name as the creator
- Followed playlists — Show the original creator’s name
Follow playlists that are regularly updated to discover new beats without having to search manually.
