New Contextual Notes for Playlists
Spotify has introduced "Playlist Notes," a new feature enabling users to add personal notes to content within their playlists. This functionality extends to songs, podcast episodes, and audiobooks, providing a way to add context or personal thoughts to individual selections.
Expansion of User Notes
Playlist Notes builds upon the "User Notes" feature, which Spotify debuted last month, allowing users to add short, 240-character notes to individual tracks. The new update expands this capability beyond songs to include podcast episodes and audiobooks, offering more comprehensive annotation options for playlist creators.
Editorial Integration
Spotify's editorial teams will also utilize Playlist Notes. Editors can now add explanations for their song choices on some of Spotify's largest playlists, such as Today’s Top Hits, RapCaviar, Hot Country, All New Pop, and Fresh Finds Hip-Hop. This aims to provide listeners with insight into why specific content was selected.
Additionally, new Editor Profiles will be available, showcasing an editor's top tracks, top albums, and the playlists they contribute to, allowing users to learn more about the curators.
How to Add Notes
To add a note, users can open a playlist they own or collaborate on within the mobile app. Tapping the three dots next to a track, podcast episode, or audiobook will reveal an "add note" option. Once saved, the note will be visible to anyone who can view the playlist.
