Published Playlists Now Appear On Their Own Tab

Following up on last week’s release of Playlist Enhancements Part 1, “Published” playlists are now live! Published playlists are great for creating packages of tracks and promoting them on your site and on the Buyer Network. Publishing your first playlist is very simple.

Here’s how it works:

  1. Create a playlist you would like to promote just like you would create any other playlist
  2. In the “More Actions” drop-down on the upper-right of the playlist page, click on the new “Publish” link
  3. Choose whether or not you want the playlist published to ONLY your site or BOTH your site AND the Buyer Network (if you have opted into the Buyer Network)
  4. You will then be prompted to create your new “Playlist” tab – upon accepting the prompt it will be instantly added to your tab navigation area
  5. You’re done, and all other published playlists will now appear on your new Playlists tab

Naturally there will be some questions around certain behaviors with these new published playlists so here are a few rules we’re presuming will help answer most of the questions everyone will have:

  1. Any admin can create and publish a playlist to the Playlist tab
  2. Any admin can publish or un-publish any playlist on their site, regardless of who created and published it
  3. If the playlist is shared between multiple admins, any of those admins can edit, delete, add/remove tracks, and publish/un-publish that playlist
  4. Any admin can publish and un-publish any playlist from the Buyer Network

To add more published playlists to your site simply view the playlist, click the “Publish” link under the “More Actions” drop-down, and you’re set. Coming next will be the direct email downloads and improving how private playlists are sent. Stay tuned…it won’t be long!
