Use this interactive demo to learn how to build and organize a custom playlist in YouTube Music.

Quick summary

YouTube Music lets you create a custom playlist in just a few steps by searching for tracks and using the Save to playlist option. You can set the privacy level — Public, Unlisted, or Private — and add as many songs as you like.


Steps

  1. Go to music.youtube.com and sign in to your account.
  2. Use the search bar to find a song or album you want to add to your playlist.
  3. Hover over the track and click the More options button (three dots).
  4. Select Save to playlist from the dropdown menu.
  5. Click New playlist at the bottom of the playlist panel.
  6. Enter a name for your playlist and choose a privacy setting: Public, Unlisted, or Private.
  7. Click Create to save the playlist — the selected track is automatically added.
  8. Repeat the process to add more tracks, then open your newly created playlist.

📌 Why this matters

YouTube Music's playlist feature lets users organize their favorite songs into fully customized, shareable collections in seconds. Being able to set playlist privacy — Public, Unlisted, or Private — gives listeners precise control over who can discover their music. Creating a playlist directly from search results streamlines the process, removing friction between discovering a track and saving it. This makes YouTube Music a powerful alternative for users who want a seamless, personalized music library experience.
