What Are Playlists Good For?
Note: Playlists do not show up when fans perform an album search.
So what are Playlists good for?
1. They are used to create the autoloading playlist for a new fan that visits your website (see end of this article).
2. They can include songs from different albums put together.
3. You can create a Playlist of songs you want to show off and place it near the top of your website for best visibility!
Playlists won't show up in an album search - but - the songs on the playlist do show up in song searches as long as the song was approved as Radio Ready.

The image below shows the selection at the bottom of the Playlist Creator inside the Artist Assets. Click YES to make this playlist load the selected songs when a fan that is not registered visits your website. This playlist does not need to be on your website or used anywhere else (unless you want to). This Playlist option makes these songs autoload into the fans' Music Player when they visit your site as a guest.
