What is Splaylist?
Splaylist turns playlists into conversations. Share tracks with collaborators, see what people think, and keep the discussion as a document you can come back to.
Built by a working composer in Tokyo, for people who think out loud about music with other people.
Why it exists
Spotify is built for listening, not for talking about music with other people.
You can't ask "which track from this album hits you most?" without leaving the app. You can't see what your collaborators think, track-by-track. You can't keep the conversation as a portable document. Comparing options across listeners is friction.
What looks like a simple share is actually a one-way channel.
A Splaylist Session View is a working document for music conversations. Rate each track. Drop comments inline. See ratings and comments from everyone joined. Export the whole discussion as a Google Sheet — meeting minutes for sound work.
Splaylist is the tool that turns a Spotify URL into that conversation. One paste.
What it does
Paste a Spotify playlist or album URL (or search by name). Splaylist shows you the track list and lets you turn it into a Session View where reviewers can rate, comment, and join the conversation.
Anyone signed in can add tracks from Spotify, YouTube, or any URL. Session owners can export the whole discussion as a Google Sheet — perfect for sync briefs, scoring meetings, A&R rounds, and client review minutes.
Three tiers
- Visitor — no sign-in required. Preview any public Spotify URL, browse Open Sessions, and read public conversations.
- Free Member — sign in with Google or Spotify. Create one Session View at a time (= 30-day retention), rate and comment as a reviewer, export the discussion as a Google Sheet (Summary + Metadata tabs).
- Pro Member — multiple Sessions saved indefinitely, Private password-protected Sessions, expanded Sheet export (= Audit Log + History Snapshot), removable "Made with Splaylist" watermark, 3× relaxed rate limits.
No Spotify login required to browse or join a public conversation. Sign in only when you want to save Sessions or export Sheets to your own Drive.
Privacy
Splaylist uses Google OAuth (= openid email profile for identity and spreadsheets to create and update the Sheets we generate). Splaylist does not request Google Drive file permissions and does not change sharing settings automatically. Anonymous reviewer identity is stored client-side as a long-lived token; we do not collect IP addresses with personal identifiers.
The maker
Nozom Yoneda
Tokyo-based composer and sound artist
Born 1977 in Kanazawa, Japan
Nozom Yoneda is a freelance composer working in film, television, advertising, and large-scale public installations. Trained first in jazz theory, his work draws on club music, film scoring, electronic music, and drone — a hybrid practice that resists any single genre.
He writes, arranges, designs, and produces; the studio is self-contained.

Nonturn
Under the moniker Nonturn, Nozom explores post-instrumental composition: field recordings, sample libraries, and recorded fragments treated as the primary material of music. Released on the UK experimental label Audiobulb Records.
Territory · 2018 — Built entirely from six years of Tokyo field recordings, with no conventional instruments.
Jellybeans · 2023 — Constructed from 500+ samples drawn from 60 international sample libraries, built with a "wisdom of crowds" methodology.
Repeating Town · 2026 — Out August 22, 2026. Made entirely from everyday sounds recorded in and around Koenji, Tokyo. Continuing the post-instrumental line begun with Territory, extending toward a specific place.
Repeating Town
Out August 22, 2026 on Audiobulb Records
Repeating Town continues Nonturn's post-instrumental practice using only recorded everyday sounds from Koenji, Tokyo. By layering fragments of the city upon itself, it builds an imaginary town that resonates as music.
