Playlist extender on YouTube: questions
Which songs does it add?
Songs from artists that playlists like yours also add, about 2 songs from each artist. Only songs that are on YouTube and not in the playlist yet.
How many songs can I add?
Up to 50 at a time. You see every song before you add it, and you can untick a song to leave it out. The songs go at the end of the playlist.
Why are there no suggestions?
Free Your Music does not know enough of the artists in the playlist yet. Then it suggests no songs and adds nothing.
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.
Can I undo it?
Yes. The change goes to the playlist's History. Restore puts the playlist back as it was.
Does it work on playlists I follow?
No. Only the owner can change a playlist that you follow. You can merge it into a playlist of your own and use the tool there.
What else can Free Your Music change on YouTube?
On YouTube, apps may add songs, remove songs, change the order, and rename playlists. Apps may not change the cover, so the tools that need it are not there.
Where can I use it?
In your browser at freeyourmusic.com/app on any computer, on iPhone and iPad, and on Android.
