I made this quick video to help anyone who’s struggling to add a song to a playlist in Spotify, whether you’re on desktop or mobile.

This is one of those basic tasks that trips people up — especially when the app updates and the interface changes. In the video, I show:

On mobile:

  1. Tap the three dots next to any song
  2. Tap Add to Playlist
  3. Choose an existing playlist or create a new one

On desktop:

  1. Right-click the song
  2. Select Add to Playlist
  3. Pick the playlist you want

I also explain how to remove songs, change playlist order, and make playlists public or private.

This is something I do constantly when curating workout mixes, productivity music, or background soundtracks for content creation.

Are you building your own playlists or mostly listening to pre-made ones?
