Hi, wondering if anyone knows a way to duplicate a personal playlist? I created a playlist for my 30th Birthday party, that has a running order, and a friend wants to use it as a base for his own party playlist.
I want to keep my original as it is, but was hoping there is a way I can copy my playlist, then make the new one collaborative with him and he can change it as he wants. Anyone know a way of doing this?
As one of the most popular music streaming app, Spotify allows users to customize their playlists and library to a large extent. You can create, name and delete your own playlist. But there're times when you want to duplicate the same playlist and do other things else on the other one. How you can do this?
So next up we're going to cover how to duplicate a Spotify playlist and keep both of the same playlists on your Spotify account.
