Makes playlist name impact song recommendations

Spotify recommends songs within their playlists too. These recommendations are based on various aspects including the title of the playlist, and the songs about it.

So if you rely heavily on Spotify’s automated recommendations to add songs to your playlist, keep a related name that is identified with the songs in it rather than a completely random name.

Bonus Tip: What you name your Spotify playlist name

Giving your Spotify playlists a unique and interesting name can be difficult at times. Instead of finding it yourself, work for a playlist generator website like Chosic.com

Visit chosic.com

The website allows you to select the mood of your playlist and the genre of your music.

Based on the set attribute for the two fields, it will generate interesting playlist names. You can even search for similar playlists on Spotify using the ‘Search from Spotify’ button available. Awesome, right?

Spotify Playlists and Voice Assistants

If you use Spotify with voice assistants like Siri or Google Assistant and smart speakers like Google Home and Amazon Echo, it uses simple playlist names. This makes it easy for voice assistants to easily recognize and detect your playlists. Avoid adding special characters to the playlist name or keep the same name. For example, refrain from having Black Panther 1, Black Panther 2 and playlists with repeating names for the best experience.
