How To Get On Soundcloud Playlists

A great way to keep your favorite tunes organized on SoundCloud is to create playlists. It's just like making your own customized album. You can either put together one large music collection or group the songs into smaller playlists.

You can do this on your laptop through a web browser or on your phone via the SoundCloud app. Here's how to make a playlist on SoundCloud, add or remove tracks, and share it with your friends.

How to Create a Playlist on the SoundCloud Site

To make a music playlist, open the SoundCloud site on your preferred web browser, log in, and do the following:

Find the song that you want to add to your playlist. You can either type in its name or the artist in the search field or listen through the songs on the website's home page until you find a nice one.
Once you've found a song, click on the three dots, and Add to playlist.
If you want to add the song to a new playlist, click Create a playlist, and in the field below, type in the name for the playlist. Then choose whether you want it to be a public or private playlist and click Save. You can add up to 500 songs to a playlist.
If you have already created a playlist and want to add the song to that playlist, click on the Add to playlist button located on the right side from the playlist's name.

You can see all of your playlists by heading to your profile page. Click on your avatar and then on Playlists. There you will find both the playlists that you've created and the ones that you've liked.

If, after creating a private playlist, you want to make it public or vice versa, open the needed playlist and click on the edit icon. Scroll a bit lower, and click Public > Save Changes.

You may also want to change the playlist's name to make it easier to find it. To do this, click on the playlist, then the edit button, and type in a new name in the Title field. Here you can also choose a genre for the playlist, add tags to describe the playlist's mood, and write a description. When you're ready, click Save Changes.

How to Create a Playlist on the SoundCloud App

Here's what you should do to make a playlist on SoundCloud using your phone:

Download SoundCloud for your phone either from the Google Play Store or the Apple App Store. Log in or create an account if you don't have one yet.
Look through the songs on the app's home screen or type in a song's name or a singer in the search field.
When you've found a good tune, tap on the three dots near the song. Then head to Add to playlist.
To add the song to a playlist that you've previously created, simply locate it in the list and tap on it. If you want to make a new playlist, tap the plus icon located on the top right of the screen. Type in a name for the playlist and select Done.
If you're using an iPhone, your playlist will be automatically created as a private one. You can change that later. On an Android device, you'll be asked whether you want to create a public or private playlist, so choose the suitable option.

If you've decided to change the privacy status of a playlist on the SoundCloud app, do this:

Click on the icon located on the bottom-right of the app's screen to open the Library.
Tap on Playlists & albums.
Tap on the playlist that you want to make changes to and then on the three dots located under the playlist photo.
Choose Make playlist public or Make playlist private.

How to Remove and Rearrange Tracks on a SoundCloud Playlist

If you are using the SoundCloud website and want to remove a song from a playlist or arrange the songs differently, here's what you should do:

Find the needed playlist and click on it to open.
Head to Edit > Tracks.
To delete a song, look for it in the list and click on the X icon located near that song.
To change the song's position in the playlist, left-click on the song, hold, and move it higher or lower.
When you've made the necessary changes, click Save changes.

You can also use your phone to edit a playlist, and here's how to do it:

Launch the SoundCloud app on your phone.
Head to the Library and tap on Playlist & albums.
Tap on the three dots located near the playlist that you wish to make changes to, and then Edit playlist.
If you're using an Android device, swipe right on the song that you want to remove. If you're using an iPhone, tap on the minus icon located near the song and then Remove.
Tap, hold and move the song to change its position on the playlist.
When you're done editing, tap Done or the checkmark to save the changes.

How to Make Your Playlist Easy to Discover

If you want other people to be able to listen to your playlist, make sure that its privacy settings are set to public. You can choose this option when creating a playlist or change it later.

It is also recommended to add basic info to the playlist. Choose a genre, add additional tags, and type in a description. They may help others to find your playlist when searching for music similar to the playlist that you've created on SoundCloud.

For example, you can enter some information about the people that might like your playlist, artists whose songs you've added, whether the music is from a popular movie, and so on.

Don't forget to click on Save Changes when you're done filling out the playlist details.

SoundCloud is a free and user-friendly platform for listening to music. The best way to group the songs that you like the most is to create playlists. By doing so, you'll have all your favorite songs in one place, and it won't take you long to find them. You can easily edit it at any time and share it with your friends.
