How to use this site:

There are 3 steps:

  1. Import a Spotify playlist.
    2. Screen recording gif starting on the homepage, where a user pastes a link into a text field and clicks the Enter button next to it. Then, the imported playlist is displayed on the screen.
  2. Add notes to songs on the playlist.
    3. Screen recording gif starting on a list of tracks in a playlist. User clicks a track and it expands vertically, revealing a create button. User clicks create and a text field appears, where user types a note and clicks the save buttom.
  3. Publish your "liner notes" to share with friends!
    4. Screen recording gif where user clicks the publish button on a playlist page, where a popup modal appears. User clicks the publish button on the modal and is redirected to a new page, which displays all the notes in a view only layout.

    The published example can be viewed at this link!

That's all the basics!

There are a few more features that come with user accounts , like a view of all the pages you've made, setting privacy permissions, editing, and more! You can access your personal page by clicking the circle on the top right corner of the screen.

Here's how that looks like:

How does Spotify sign in work / what does it do?


How it works

Spotify sign in works through OAuth, meaning that instead of having a separate login system, this webapp asks Spotify for permission to access data like your user id, name, email, and profile pic. These are the only fields it needs; it's not accessing any other data from your account!


What it's for

Signed-in users can view, edit, and delete the playlists they've published on this site. They can also set custom viewing & editing permissions for others, so you could, for example: collaboratively comment on a playlist or make a playlist page visible for only certain users.


How to find the URI / URL of your playlist:

Finding the URL: make sure that your link is in the format https://open.spotify.com/playlist/XXXXXXXX.

  • If you're using Spotify Web Player:
    the URL is in the address bar of your browser.

  • If you're in the desktop or mobile app:
    find the "More options" button (the three dots underneath the playlist header). Click "Share" and then "Copy link to playlist".


Finding the URI (Unique Resource Identifier): this should come in the format spotify:playlist:XXXXXXXX.

  • On Web Player and Desktop, click the more options button (three dots), hover over "Share" and "Copy link to playlist", and hold down the option/alt key before clicking. The text should change to "Copy Spotify URI".

If you still have problems importing your playlist, make sure that your input matches one of the formats highlighted above & check that your playlist is public. Note that a playlist doesn't have to be added to your profile to be public!
