Adding, Removing and Rearranging Tracks in a Playlist
Making the playlist public or private does not impact the privacy settings of the tracks within the playlist. However, public playlists will be pushed to your followers’ Feeds, so make sure that the tracks within the playlist are also public and can be viewed by others.
Additionally, there is not a way to add tracks to the top of a playlist. All new tracks will appear on the bottom of the playlist, which you can rearrange into a different order later.
Adding tracks to a playlist:
To add tracks to an existing playlist, click the three dots below the track in question:
Click 'Add to Playlist' or create a new one:
When creating a new playlist you can decide on a title, and if you want the playlist to be public, or private.
Please note: Making the playlist public or private does not impact the privacy settings of the tracks within the playlist. However, public playlists will be pushed to your followers’ Streams, so make sure that the tracks within the playlist are also public and can be viewed by others.
We also recommend limiting the number of tracks in your playlist to a maximum of 250 for it to easily load.
On the 'Now Playing' screen (the screen that comes up when a track is playing), you'll see in the bottom left-hand corner three dots that indicate the 'More' button. Tap this and then tap ‘Add to playlist’. You’ll be prompted to either choose a playlist to add the track to, or you can create a new playlist by tapping the plus sign in the upper right-hand corner.
Please be aware that playlists created in the app will automatically be set to private. These can easily be set to public on the app by going to the playlist’s page, and tapping the three dots on the right under the playlist cover image. From the menu, you can select 'Make playlist public’.

Rearranging tracks within a playlist:
If you are using a computer, you can rearrange tracks in a playlist by going to the playlist’s edit page. You can access the edit page at any time by clicking the pencil icon below the playlist’s banner.
Go to the Tracks tab, and you can drag and drop the tracks into your desired order.
If you are using a mobile device, Android or iOS, tap the “edit playlist” in the settings dropdown on the playlist and drag and drop the tracks into the order you want.
Rearranging playlists: There isn't an option to rearrange the order in which your playlists are shown on your profile.
The playlists on your profile will always be ordered chronologically.
