Creating Playlists

Create playlists from the library or add-to-playlist flow and understand the current fields BeatPass exposes.

BeatPass supports two creation paths: start a new playlist from the library, or create one while adding a track.

Where You Can Start

Library flow

Open Library → Playlists and use the create action to start an empty playlist.

Add-to-playlist flow

Start from a track’s Add to playlist menu when you already know what the first track should be.

Current Playlist Fields

The New playlist dialog exposes these fields in order:

Field	Behaviour
Image	Optional square playlist image.
Name	Required playlist name.
Collaborative	Turns on invite-based editing for other users.
Public	Controls whether everyone can see the playlist.
Description	Optional text description.

Creating From the Library

1. Open the create flow

   Go to Library → Playlists and click the create action to open the New playlist dialog.

2. Fill in the playlist details

   Add the name first, then set the image, description, collaboration setting, and privacy.

3. Finish creation

   After creation, BeatPass opens the new playlist so you can add tracks.

Creating From Add-to-Playlist

When you start from a track’s Add to playlist menu and choose to create a new playlist, the track you started from becomes the first item in the playlist automatically.

Collaborative Setup During Creation

If you enable Collaborative while creating the playlist:

• BeatPass shows the collaborator picker inside the create form.
• You can search for users and queue pending invites before finishing creation.
• After the playlist is created, the dialog stays open with a Done button so you can send invites before closing.

Editing Later

You can update the same fields after creation:

• Change the image
• Rename the playlist
• Toggle Public
• Toggle Collaborative
• Update the description

Collaboration and privacy are separate settings. A playlist can be public without collaborators, or private while still allowing invited editors.
