# Spotify’s new Playlist Notes let users and editors explain their song picks

**[TechCrunch](https://daily.dev/sources/tc)** · 2 min read · 0 upvotes · 0 comments

## Summary

Spotify launched Playlist Notes, letting users add context or memories to songs, podcast episodes, and audiobooks within playlists they own or collaborate on. The feature extends last month's User Notes to the playlist level and is also being rolled out to Spotify editors, who can now explain their song picks on major editorial playlists like RapCaviar and Today's Top Hits. Editors also get new profile pages showing their top tracks and playlists. User notes roll out on iOS and Android in over 100 markets, while editor notes and profiles launch for users 16+ in the US, Canada, UK, Ireland, Australia, and New Zealand. The move follows Spotify surpassing 300 million subscribers and 777 million monthly active users.
