If it is the first time you use Apple Music, or you have never created one, today we will see what the playlist or reproduction listsand how we can do one in a simple way, ideal for a car trip, a party with friends, and a thousand more situations, where we want to have it prior to that moment.
This method will serve for the iPhone, Mac, iPad, etc. music app, that is, Apple's native, and will have nothing to do with Spotify or other applications, since each one has its own system, and, at least today, they are not collaborative, so you will have to do it in which you want to have it.
What are Apple Music's playlists
The playlists in Apple Music are basically lists of songs that you choose And you organize to your liking. You can create one to train, another to relax, one with your favorite classics or with the last you have discovered. The good thing is that you can not only create your own, but also to follow playlists created by Apple or other users, with recommended music according to what you like, as well as organize one between friends for a vacation or a journey by car, as we said.
How to create a step -by -step playlist
To create a list or add songs to it, we will have to follow some very simple steps, which will depend on whether we are on iPhone, iPad or Mac, although everything you do in any of the devices will be reflected in the others, provided you use the same Apple Id account.
From iPhone or iPad:
- Open the Apple Music app, as always.
- Find a song that you like or want to save for later.
- Keep your finger clip on the song until a menu appears.
- Play the option you say «Add to a playlist».
- If you already have created lists, you can choose one. If not, it touches «New Playlist».
- Write the name you want for your playlist. You can also put an image or a small description if you feel like it.
- Click “Ok” either “Ready”and you already have your playlist created.
- Every time you want to add another song, just repeat the process and choose that same playlist.
From Mac or PC:
- Open the Apple Music app. If you are in Windows, it will be iTunes.
- At the top of the menu, click “Archive”then in “New”and select “Playlist”.
- A new blank list will be created in the sidebar. Give it a name.
- Look for songs and crack them directly inside that list.
- You can put the songs in the order you prefer, simply dragging them up or down.
Create collaborative playlist
Although formerly Apple Music did not allow this, for several versions it has been possible again, so you can add and eliminate songs from a list with the people you invite to it, since you will all see that playlist and you can modify the songs.
- Open the app Apple Music.
- Go to your library and enter a playlist that you have created.
- Touch the button More options (The three dots).
- Select “Collaborate”.
- Activate the option of “Allow collaboration”.
- You can choose to share the playlist by link or QR with the people you want to invite.
- The guests may Add, delete and reorganize songs (And see who added what).
Remember that all users have to have an Apple account, regardless of not using an iPhone, and they are only done to collaborate in the list, but without that ID they will not be able to do anything.
Frequent questions
We will analyze the possible most frequent questions of doubts that you have right now. If there is any that are not, you can leave us a comment and we will try to add it.
- Can you make collaborative the playlists that I already have?: Yes, it is not necessary to start from scratch. Just enter your playlist, touch the three points and activate the collaboration option. Ready, you can share it now.
- Can I see who added each song in a collaborative playlist?: Yes, Apple Music shows you the name (and sometimes the photo) of the person who added each song. So you know who shared everything.
- Can I eliminate songs that another person added?: Yes, all those who collaborate can remove songs, no matter who added them, so there will not be an administrator, but everyone will have permission.
- Is there a limit of people in a collaborative playlist?: There is no exact number, it works well with several friends, and although Apple has not given that figure, we must take into account that many people could cause quite a mess, so we do not recommend more than 5 or 10.
If you have any other questions, as we said, you can leave us a comment and we will try to help you. Creating lists, as we saw, is easy, so we hope you enjoy them.
