Make a Spotify playlist

Would you like to make a playlist on Spotify but don't know how to get started? Our playlist maker can help!

Follow these simple steps and our playlist maker will do the rest.

Get started by searching for some songs you love.

Click the ‘Add’ button to add them to your playlist.

Save your playlist when you’re finished adding songs.

We will email you a link to your playlist along with some simple advice on how to get the most from it.

You can download detailed instructions in case you would like to refer to them while using the playlist maker. (A large print MS Word version is also available.) 

Please note: You will need a Spotify account in order to listen to your playlist: either a free or paid version. We’ll send you guidance on how to do this when you receive the link to your playlist. 

You can only access Spotify on devices that can connect to the internet. You cannot download your Spotify playlist onto an MP3 player.

Happy playlisting!
