🎧 Connect Spotify and create playlists

Connect your Spotify account, then create the All Requests playlist and optional event playlists. Those playlists are what your DJ program opens so requested tracks show up in software like Serato, rekordbox, or djay. For TIDAL, see Connect TIDAL and create playlists.

Choose Spotify

Open DJ Admin → Tools → DJ Integration. On DJ Integration, open the Music service picker and select Spotify. If TIDAL is also connected, only the service marked Active receives new request tracks — you can switch anytime.

Connect Spotify

Under Connection, choose Connect Spotify. Spotify asks you to sign in and allow PlayThis.Live to read your account, search the catalog, and create or update playlists.

When the connection succeeds you return to DJ Integration with a Connected status. If Spotify shows Reconnect required, use Reconnect Spotify and sign in again — playlist settings on this page are kept.

Disconnect signs PlayThis.Live out of Spotify. It does not delete playlists that were already created on your Spotify account. You can reconnect later and keep using those playlists.

Create the All Requests playlist

All Requests is the primary playlist. Create it once. After that, every new song request across your events can go here while the playlist is Active.

On DJ Integration, use Create All Requests playlist. PlayThis.Live creates a playlist on your Spotify account named PlayThis.Live — All Requests. Open in Spotify to view it in the Spotify app or on the web.

You create this playlist yourself — it is not created automatically when you connect. If you skip it, only event playlists you create will receive tracks.

Optional event playlists

Event playlists are optional. Use them when you want a focused list for one gig instead of (or in addition to) the running All Requests list.

Find the event in the Event playlists table. You can search by event name or date, and filter All, Active, Paused, or Not created. Choose Create playlist & enable for that event.

The playlist name uses the event name and date, for example PlayThis.Live — Summer Beach Party — Aug 17, 2026.

If All Requests is Active and an event playlist is Active, a new request for that event is added to both. Pause either destination if you do not want tracks there.

Pause, resume, and disconnect

• Pause. Stops future additions to that playlist. Existing tracks stay on Spotify. New requests are not added until you Resume.
• Resume. Starts adding new requests again. It does not add requests that arrived while the playlist was paused.
• Disconnect. Stops PlayThis.Live from talking to Spotify. Playlists on Spotify are not deleted. Reconnect when you want sync to continue.
