Free Services for Playlists
Good news: there are plenty of free streaming services for music. These include Spotify, Jango, SoundCloud, YouTube Music and more. Each platform offers a ton of songs, playlists and recommendations. Experiment with each platform to find your favorite. There’s truly no wrong answer!
Note: Some free apps & services may show you ads, offer in-app purchases, or offer paid versions of the same app or service. Make sure you select the free version.
How to Create Your Own Playlist
Creating a playlist is like having a personalized radio station. You’ll love every song! Luckily, creating playlists on free music streaming platforms is easy. You can follow these steps on most platforms:
- Open the platform and navigate to your music library. It will be linked on the front page.
- Click on “Create playlist.” This may be marked by a plus sign or other icon.
- Name your playlist - it can be anything you want! Make sure you hit Save.
- Use the search bar to find songs to add. You can search by song title, album title or artist name. The platform may offer suggestions.
- Click “Add to playlist” - you may need to select the three dots next to each song to do this.
- Repeat until you’ve added all the songs you want. As a rule of thumb, 24-40 songs is a great amount for a playlist.
Collaborate With Friends & Family
Creating a playlist with others is a fun way to stay connected virtually. When you listen, it will remind you of your loved ones. You can also collaborate on a playlist before an event, like family reunions or neighborhood barbecues. Ask them to add their favorite songs, and you may discover a new artist or band! Or create a theme for the playlist, like “Throwback Songs,” “90s Favorites,” “Summer Jams” and more.
How to co-create a playlist:
- Share with friends and family by going to the playlist page. Then, click the three dots near the top of the page.
- Click “Share” or “Invite collaborators” or similar.
- Some platforms let you share the collaboration invite in apps like WhatsApp and Facebook. Others copy the link to the playlist so you can paste it anywhere, like a text message.
Playlists: A Soundtrack for Your Life
Music makes a great companion for events and activities. From front porch bops to fast-paced beats, there’s no limit to the types of playlists you can create. Need some inspiration? Here are a few great occasions and reasons to listen:
- Car Rides: Whether you’re running errands or road-tripping, music can help the time pass. If you’re riding along with friends, it can also create a sense of bonding.
- Exercise: Picking music with a fast tempo will help your body get into a rhythm! It can also distract you from fatigue or boredom until your workout is over.
- Family Reunions: Creating a playlist as a family can build anticipation and connection before your big event. Plus, you’ll learn about each other and everyone’s favorite songs!
- Summer Barbecues: Set the mood for your next cookout. Playing music will create a welcoming atmosphere. It can boost energy and encourage people to relax and have fun.
