Question

What are some free apps for creating playlists?

Community Answer

Most apps are free, but they usually require leasing or licensing for songs. iTunes, Amazon Music, and Groove are examples of free apps that need a subscription or purchase for most songs. Alternatively, you can create a playlist on your blog or website by linking to music on YouTube or Vimeo, as many publishers have licensing agreements with these platforms.

Question

What types of songs should I include in a wedding playlist for a modern couple who grew up in the 90s?

Community Answer

Create a mix of modern hits and popular 90s songs. Consult the bride and groom for any specific songs they cherish. Consider input from close family and friends as well. Include fun dance songs, like the "Chicken Dance," and maintain a balance between thematic consistency and variety. Ensure there are songs suitable for dancing, including waltzes and other ballroom styles.

Question

Is it legal for me to create a playlist on Spotify and share it with friends?

Gal Barden

Community Answer

Yes, it is legal because all the music on Spotify is licensed, and your friends need an account to listen, ensuring that artists are compensated through ads or subscriptions. Sharing playlists is encouraged by Spotify.

Question

What music should I include in a playlist that feels powerful, uneasy, yet whimsical and playful?

HeyYall1tsOlive

Community Answer

I recommend checking out songs like "Harpy Hare," "Heaven's Gate," and "We Fell In Love In October." Some artists with that vibe are Baby Bugs, The Crane Wives, The Paper Kites, Will Wood, Noah Kahan, Hozier, and Amelie Farren. Good luck with your playlist!
