We suggest doing both, so we’ll look at them separately. There are two approaches to finding new lists: manually tracking down suitable curators/lists or using an aggregated free playlist submission site.

Users can also enter a mood (feeling pensive), time of day (morning), or activity (jogging) to find playlists created by fellow Spotify users for any particular musical need.If you have previous releases, check Spotify for Artists to see if any playlists are driving your streams – if you’re already on a playlist, it’s easy to get the playlist curator to feature you again. Simply enter the search term in quotation marks so that only results with those exact words will show up.

Spotify's search feature can also be used to look for exact song matches. When doing the search on any of Spotify's mobile apps, songs that have those lyrics will be tagged as 'Lyrics match' in the results. Spotify users must type in at least three words from a song's lyrics into the search bar. As for looking up songs heard on the go, knowing some of the lyrics is key. It should also be the first result under 'Playlists' and have the official Spotify account as playlist creator.

If the artist has enough of a catalog or a following on the platform, it should produce a Spotify-generated list of the artist's most played tracks, with the same playlist name as the search phrase used. Simply type 'this is ' to check if a best-of playlist exists for a particular musician. Spotify Search can also be incredibly useful when a user wants to know more about a music artist through their best hits, or if they want to find a specific song they've only heard in passing but don't necessarily recognize.
