Spotify Revives Song Dedications with Playlist Notes Feature

Spotify is bringing back the personal touch of song dedications with its new Playlist Notes feature. This tool allows users to attach short messages or personal notes directly to songs within their playlists, reviving a practice once common on radio.

The feature is rolling out progressively to over 100 markets for both Free and Premium users on mobile devices. Users can add notes by opening a playlist, tapping the three-dot menu next to a song, selecting "Add note," writing their message, and saving it. The annotation will appear beneath the song and be visible to anyone with access to the playlist.

Spotify suggests using the feature for simple messages like "this song reminds me of you" or for more detailed explanations of why a particular track holds special meaning. This transforms playlists into a musical diary filled with memories and personal sentiments.

Playlist Notes can be added not only to songs but also to podcast episodes and audiobooks included in personal or collaborative playlists. This expansion broadens the scope for personal expression within the Spotify ecosystem, making playlists a richer, more personalized experience.
