Sharing Playlists

Making a playlist public lets users who search by playlist title, song name, artist name, user name, or other search terms find your playlist. If they subscribe to Yahoo! Music Unlimited, they can play your full songs; if not, they can still enjoy 30-second samples and get your suggested music mixes.

Here’s How

1. Select the name of a playlist in the left pane to see its details, including the songs that it contains, in the center pane.

2. At the top right side of your playlist, create or edit a description for it, then click the SAVE button.

   

   This description is what others in the Yahoo! Music community see when your playlist comes up in a search, so be creative!

3. To make your playlist available to other users, click the Make it public link.

   

4. To make a playlist private again, simply click the Make it private link. Other users can't see your private playlists.

What’s Next

In addition to making some or all of your playlists public for others to discover, you can also share specific playlists with your friends in any of the following ways:

• Send the playlist in an instant message to a friend using Yahoo! Messenger.
• Send the playlist in a Yahoo! Mail message.
• Copy the link (URL) to the playlist to insert it into an email message or to place it on your blog or website, so others can access it anywhere.

You can share any public playlist in these ways—it can be one that you created or it can belong to someone else!
