Spotify is one of the most popular music streaming platforms right now, which lets you listen to your favorite songs and artists at home or on the go.

Of course, if you prefer listening only to a select few of your favorite tunes, you can create a playlist, and add all your favorite songs and podcast episodes onto it. Spotify playlists can fit as many tracks as you want – there’s no limit.

How to add songs to a Spotify playlist on your desktop

1. Boot up your PC or Mac and launch Spotify.

2. In Spotify, search for an artist, album, podcast, or song you want to add to your playlist.

3. After you find a song or podcast episode you want to add to your playlist, move your cursor onto the track and right-click it, or click the "..." button to the right of the track's title.

4. In the menu that appears, click "Add to Playlist" and it will ask you which playlist you'd like to add the track to. You can also create a new playlist with this track by clicking "New Playlist." After you click the playlist you want to add it to, the track will be added immediately.

You can also select a track (or multiple tracks), and then click and drag it onto the title of your playlist in the sidebar on the left side of the screen. When you release your click, all the tracks you dragged will be added to that playlist.
