How to use Shared Playlists

Shared Playlists are simple but powerful ways to share your music with clients, directors, supervisors, and other professionals. It’s pretty simple. Check it out.

Create a playlist you want to share (or use an existing one)

  1. Head to the Track Manager
  2. Search for tracks
  3. Click checkboxes to select multiple tracks
  4. From the batch edit menu, choose Create New Playlist
  5. Add title, description, tags, genre and select Public or Private, then click Create Playlist
  6. Once playlist is created, you can change track order and add artwork

Launching a Shared Playlist

Go to any playlist in your Track Manager and click Share Playlist. This will launch shareable options for a single playlist (Launch Playlist, Copy Link, Copy Embed Code). Default settings include:

  • Streaming only
  • Link to full playlist
  • Links to individual tracks
  • Link to your email address (setup in Settings > Library Info)

Allow Downloads

One of the most exciting things about Shared Playlists is the ability to add downloads. This makes it a perfect way to share tracks with clients. Here’s how:

  1. Click Share Playlist

  2. Click Allow Downloads

  3. Click Create Download Key. A download key is comprised of two things:

    • Name (something easy for you to track, only you will see this)
    • Duration (how long you want the link to work)

  4. Click Launch, Copy, or Embed.

Notes:

  • The Download Key is linked to the playlist. It is not transferrable to other playlists.
  • Unless you have provided alternate files, downloaded files will be 128kbps mp3s.
