Merge Multiple Playlists

This guide shows you how to merge tracks from multiple playlists into a single playlist.

Use Cases

• Combine your “Chill” and “Focus” playlists into a “Work” playlist
• Merge collaborative playlists from friends
• Create a “Best of” playlist from multiple genre playlists

Pipeline Configuration

Web App

1. Create a new pipeline
2. Add multiple Get Playlist Tracks tasks (one for each source playlist)
3. Add a Merge Tracks task to combine them
4. (Optional) Add a Deduplicate Tracks task to remove duplicates
5. (Optional) Add a Shuffle Tracks task to mix them up
6. Add a Save to Playlist task

CLI

merge-playlists.yaml

name: Merge My Playlists
tasks:
  - type: getPlaylistTracks
    playlistId: "playlist-id-1"
  - type: getPlaylistTracks
    playlistId: "playlist-id-2"
  - type: getPlaylistTracks
    playlistId: "playlist-id-3"
  - type: mergeTracks
  - type: deduplicateTracks
    strategy: byTrackId
  - type: shuffleTracks
  - type: saveToPlaylist
    name: "Combined Playlist"
    mode: replace

Tips

• Order matters - Tracks are merged in the order the source tasks appear
• Deduplicate - If the same track appears in multiple source playlists, use the deduplicate task to remove duplicates
• Limit the result - Use a Limit Tracks task if you want to cap the total number of tracks
