Filter playlist: questions
Which rules can I use?
Genre, artist, release year or decade, BPM, energy, danceability, happiness, acoustic, instrumental, popularity and key. Every rule must match. Inside one rule, a song can match any of the values you pick, for example rock or pop.
Does it change my playlist?
Only if you want. Make a new playlist leaves the original as it is. Remove the other songs takes the rest out of a playlist you own, where your music service lets apps remove songs, and you can undo it from History.
Can I filter my liked songs?
Yes. Filter makes a new playlist from the songs that match. Your liked songs stay as they are.
What happens to songs with no audio data?
The sound rules, such as BPM and energy, leave them out. Turn on “Keep songs with no audio data” to keep them for those rules. The count tells you how many songs have data for each rule.
Does it work on playlists I follow?
Yes, with Make a new playlist. Only the owner can remove songs from a playlist that you follow.
Is it free?
You can try the tool free and see the preview. Applying the change needs Pro. Every transfer between services is free, with no song limit.
