Spotify’s new Playlist Notes let users add context to songs, podcasts, and audiobook picks

Spotify has introduced a new feature called Playlist Notes, allowing users to add context to songs, podcasts, and audiobooks within their playlists. This follows the recent launch of User Notes, which lets users attach short notes, up to 240 characters long, to individual tracks on their playlists. With Playlist Notes, users can now expand this functionality to include podcast episodes and audiobooks.

Spotify editors will utilize Playlist Notes to provide insights into why a particular track holds significance, its cultural relevance, or its place in the playlist. Users will also gain access to Editor Profiles, where they can learn about the individuals behind the playlists. This will include the editor's favorite tracks, albums, and the playlists they contribute to.

The rollout of Playlist Notes on user-curated playlists is currently taking place on iOS and Android devices in over 100 markets globally. However, the availability of Editor Profiles and Playlist Notes may vary from that of users. To add a Playlist Note, users can open a playlist they own or collaborate on, tap the three dots next to a track, podcast episode, or audiobook, select "Add note," enter their note, and then tap "Save."

Editor Profiles and Playlist Notes are set to be available to all users aged 16 and above in the U.S., Canada, the U.K., Ireland, Australia, and New Zealand starting today.
