Tips to copy entire playlists on Spotify

If you find a playlist that you really like, but there are a few songs that you want to change, it is completely possible to copy and customize the playlist yourself quite easily.

This is a great way for you to create your own personalized playlists without having to manually compile each song. You can find a pre-made playlist that's close to what you want, then copy and perfect the rest yourself.

This will create a new playlist with all the songs you selected. By default, the name of this playlist will be named after the first song in the list. Of course, you can also freely change the title and cover image for the playlist just like you would with any other of your personal playlists.

It's all simply that. Now you can delete or add songs to the new playlist as you like.
