Make A Playlist On SoundCloud
For this, you can either use your desktop or mobile phone. We have mentioned the steps for both in the article below.
Using Computer
1. On your browser visit the SoundCloud site and login into your account if not done already. Now search for the song you want to add in your playlist.
2. Select the song once you find it. The song will open in the new page. Here, click on the Add to Playlist button. If you cannot find it then select More and click on Add to Playlist.
3. Next, on the new window, you can either add this song to an existing playlist or you can select the Create a Playlist tab to make a new playlist. Now give your new playlist a name and select your privacy option (Public or Private). Then click on Save.
4. With this, the new playlist is created. You can select Go to Playlist to view your playlist or simply click on the X icon at the top right corner to close this tab.
In the future, if you want to add more songs to this playlist then you can follow the same steps. But in step No.3, select Add to Playlist instead of Create a Playlist to add a song to an already created playlist.
Using Mobile App
We are using an iPhone to create a playlist on the SoundCloud app. However, you can follow the same steps on Android as well.
1. Open the SoundCloud app on your phone and search for a song. Once you find a song, play it. The playing song can be seen at the bottom of the screen. Tap on it to open the song in a full-screen player.
2. Here, tap on the three dots icon at the bottom right corner. A new options menu will appear, select the Add to Playlist.
3. Now select an already created playlist or tap on the + icon to add or create a new playlist.
4. Next, give it a name and then tap on Done. With this, your playlist will be created.
Note: On the SoundCloud Android app, you can also check the Private box and then tap on Done to make this playlist private. While on iPhone the created playlist is by default set to Private, but you can change it to Public later.
With this, you have successfully created a playlist on the SoundCloud mobile app.
View Your Playlists
Once you have successfully created the playlist, it’s now time to view it.
See Your Playlist On The SoundCloud Website
1. Go to your SoundCloud account and select your profile from the top right corner. Now from the drop-down menu select Playlists.
2. On the next page, you can see all the playlists created and liked by you.

2. On the next screen, you will see all the playlists. On the Android app, you can view the playlists that were created by you. For that, tap on the filter icon at the top right corner, select Created and then tap on Done.
Make Your Playlist Public Or Private
Although you get the option to choose whether you want to make your playlist public or private while creating a playlist. But, you can always change the privacy settings on the SoundCloud playlist whenever you want.
Change Privacy On SoundCloud Web
1. On your SoundCloud Playlist page select a playlist you want to make private or public. On the next page click on the Edit button.
2. As you do that, a new tab will open. Here, under Basic Info you can edit the playlist like renaming it, adding Genre and providing Additional tags, etc. Most importantly you can change the privacy settings, choose the Private or Public option and once you are done select Save Changes.
Make SoundCloud Playlist Public On Mobile
Note: You cannot change your playlist privacy on the Android app. However, if you have made your playlist private while creating it, then you can log in to the SoundCloud Web and change the privacy from there. If you are using an iOS device then you can change the privacy by following these steps.
1. Open the SoundCloud app on your iPhone and go to your Playlists & albums. Now select the playlist which you want to make Public.
