Import from a Playlist Share URL

Many music services are providing a Share Link feature for playlists. You can easily found it on your playlists but also playlists of other users. You can also grab it directly from the URL in your browser when you are on the playlist details.

An example of a Share Link Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/37i9dQZF1DWWSuZL7uNdVA

You can also use here any public URL. We will be able to found audio elements in the page (like YouTube links) and then create a playlist from that.

Create a Sync from a Playlist URL

  • Start a new Synchronization from Tools menu
  • In source, select Playlist URL from the list
  • Paste your Playlist URL (from a Share Link) and Confirm
  • Select a destination platform and an existing playlist (or choose New Playlist)
  • Select a Sync method, options and frequency/date and Save configuration

Why importing from a JSON File ?

This feature is especially useful:

  • for radios who want to mirror in real-time their playlists on streaming services to grow their notoriety and follower base and increase retention.
  • for brands who already have in-store music playlists and want these playlists to exist online for obvious marketing purposes.

How can I create a Sync from my JSON URL ?

  • Start a new Synchronization from Tools menu
  • In source, select Playlist URL from the list
  • Paste your JSON public URL and Confirm
  • Select a destination platform and an existing playlist (or choose New Playlist)
  • Select a Sync method, options and frequency/date and Save configuration

You can find below the minimum JSON Structure and some additional attributes available.

You must send at least the title and tracklist attribute. Each track must have at least a title.
