Did you know that Spotify allows you to share your playlists with friends and family members? Maybe some of them don’t have a Premium account so they aren’t able to listen to full tracks on the web. By sharing playlists, they can listen to all music on shuffle mode (with ads of course). There are two ways in which you can share your playlists with others. The first one is by sharing the link to the playlist you want to share and the other way is by sending an invitation link to people via email or any messaging app (eg, Whatsapp)
What Happens When you Share a Playlist
When you share your playlist with someone, he/she can listen to it on shuffle mode. In other words, the person listening to the playlist will only see a list of songs or albums from that particular playlist and not from all your playlists. He/she needs to have a Premium account if they want to listen to songs in full length.
Sharing your playlist with someone is just like sharing a link to any other website. Your friend/family member who will be listening to the playlist needs an internet connection in order for him/her to listen to it. If he/she doesn’t have an internet connection, then there are chances that they won’t be able to play music from that playlist.
How to Share Your Playlist With Someone

How do you see who Liked Your Playlist on Spotify
1. Open Spotify and click on the “Your Music” tab.
2. Scroll down to the “Playlists” section and click on the playlist you want to check
3. Click on the three dots in the top right corner of the playlist and select “View Playlist Details”
4. Under “Playlist Actions,” you’ll see a list of people who have liked your playlist – along with how many times they’ve liked it
5. To see who has recently liked your playlist, scroll to the bottom of the page and click on “Recent Activity”
Anyone can easily find out who has liked their playlist! If you want to show off your music taste or make new friends, this is how it’s done! You can do the same on Soundcloud by looking at your likes on a track. The reason why you can’t see your track likes is because people don’t like tracks… they like playlists and artists!
Tips for creating better playlists
1. Add at least one song per artist in your playlist.
2. Start each track with the same beat or use transition songs to make your playlist sound natural and un-interrupted.
3. Make sure you add good pictures to each of your songs so people can find them easily when they search for something on Spotify!
4. Add the year of release (eg 1980) to make your playlist more organized and easier to navigate through!
5. Group similar genres together so people can find exactly what they’re looking for!
Conclusion
By sharing playlists, you can introduce your friends and family to new music and get more plays on your tracks. Make sure the songs in your playlist are good quality (192 kbps) or else it will sound like a “pretty terrible listening experience.”
Your playlist will be available to people even if they don’t have a Spotify account and they won’t know you shared it with them unless you tell them!
Lastly, keep in mind that just because someone likes your playlist doesn’t mean they like all the songs on the list. Multiple people can like different songs from each other! Also, you can’t see playlists from people you follow, which is unfortunate.
