Send your reference playlist as a doc, not a link.
Splaylist turns any Spotify playlist into a Google Sheet you actually own — track names you can copy, YouTube links you can play, columns you can annotate. Built by a working musician for sync briefs, A&R memos, and reference docs that need to be discussed.

Why a Spotify link isn't enough
If you've ever sent a Spotify playlist as a reference and then tried to actually discuss it with someone, you already know the problem. The tools are missing. Spotify is a listening app, not a working document.
What you actually run into:
- You can't copy a track name. Not a track list, not a single title — Spotify blocks the selection.
- You can't add a note next to a track. There's nowhere to write "use the first 30 seconds" or "too obvious — find something with the same energy but newer."
- If your client doesn't use Spotify, the link is dead weight. You end up hand-searching every track on YouTube and pasting links into an email.
- You can't share it as a working document. Two people can't open it side-by-side and mark up the same row.
"Just send the playlist" works for a friend who wants something to listen to on a drive. It doesn't work when a sync supervisor needs to know why each track is on there.
What you get instead
Paste a Spotify playlist URL. One click. You walk out with a Google Sheet on your own Drive. That's the whole loop.
Every Sheet ships with:
- Copy-pasteable track names + artists — what Spotify won't let you do.
- A clickable Spotify link per track, with the title and artist as the visible text — drop it straight into an email or a brief.
- A YouTube link per track — search by default, or opt in to exact-match watch URLs (Advanced options). For the client who isn't on Spotify, or the supervisor who wants to skim quickly.
- A Listen column on every Sheet — one streaming link per track. Apple Music when available (most mainstream), or a Bandcamp 🔍 search link for indie/electronic tracks not on Apple Music. The track always has a way to be heard.
- Empty columns to annotate — "why this track," "moment to use," "alt suggestion." Whatever your workflow is, the columns are yours to shape.
- Real Google Sheet ownership — it lives in your Drive. Share it, comment on it, fork it for the next brief.
Under the hood: you authenticate with Spotify (read-only) and Google Sheets (only the Sheet we create), and the export runs in a few seconds. No subscription, no vendor lock-in. Privacy policy.

How it works
- Paste a Spotify playlist URL on the Splaylist home page. Public or private — both work.
- Sign in with Google the first time. Splaylist uses verified Google OAuth and only touches the Sheet it creates for you.
- Open the Sheet. It's already on your Drive. Annotate, share, fork — it's yours.

Frequently asked
How is this different from "export Spotify playlist to Excel" tools?
Most CSV exporters give you a flat dump and stop. Splaylist gives you a live Google Sheet you already own — formatted, with YouTube links wired up, ready to share and annotate. The point isn't the export, it's the working document on the other side.
Do I need a paid Spotify or Google account?
No. Free Spotify and a regular Google account both work.
Is the Sheet public?
Private by default. Only you can see it. There's an opt-in checkbox if you want to make it publicly viewable + copy-enabled (handy for sharing on social).
Can I export multiple playlists?
Yes — each one becomes its own Sheet on your Drive. Great for organizing client briefs or weekly digests.
Where can I send feedback?
splaylist.app/contact — bugs, requests, or "this almost solved my problem but" — all welcome.
