You're scrolling through your Liked Songs on Spotify, hearing that one track you can't stop playing, and you think, "I've got to share this with my friends!" Your Liked Songs playlist is a mix of all your favorite tracks, and now you want to spread the love.
But sharing your playlist isn't as simple as clicking a button. Sure, you can send a song, but if you really want to share your music the right way, it takes a bit more effort. It's like showing someone your record collection - it's not just about handing it over; you want them to enjoy it the way you do.
If you're ready to share your musical finds, you're in the right place. We'll show you how to send songs, share a full playlist, and even play your Liked Songs in different ways. Let's dive in and get your favorite tracks out there!
Part 1. Can You Share Your Liked Songs on Spotify?
The whole idea of sharing your Liked Songs on Spotify seems like it should be easy, right? You've got your personal playlist, full of tracks that speak to you, and you just want to send it to a friend. But when you try, you soon realize that you can't share the Liked Songs playlist the same way you can with your custom playlists. It's like Spotify has decided your Liked Songs are too personal, like a secret playlist that's just for you.
It's not the first time users have been frustrated with Spotify's approach to the Liked Songs playlist. There's been plenty of talk about how this playlist should be shareable, just like any other playlist you create. But, for some reason, it stays locked up - private to you only. It's like Spotify's keeping your musical treasures to yourselves.
And let's not even get started on the changes to the "Like" button. Do you remember when they switched it to an "Add" button? I know I miss the old heart-shaped "Like" button. The new system feels a little less intuitive, doesn't it? It's almost as if Spotify is slowly moving away from the simplicity that made the app so enjoyable to use.
Still, as annoying as it may be, sharing your Liked Songs isn't completely out of reach. While Spotify doesn't make it as easy as sending a sharable link, there are ways to work around the limitations and share your favorite tracks with friends. So, even if it's not perfect, you can still find ways to get your music out there. Stick with me, and we'll figure out how to make it happen.
Part 2. How to Share Liked Songs on Spotify
Sharing your Liked Songs on Spotify might feel like a tricky task, but it's definitely doable if you know where to start. While your Liked Songs playlist doesn't come with a simple "Share" option, you can easily work around it by creating your own playlist filled with all those tracks. Once it's your own playlist, you'll be able to share it just like any other playlist you create. It's almost like giving your Liked Songs playlist a fresh identity - one that's shareable with friends.
Way 1: Create a Shareable Liked Songs Playlist
The first thing you'll need to do is create a new playlist or pick an existing one to store all your Liked Songs. If you're on a PC or Mac, it's easiest to do this via the Spotify desktop app.
Note: This method requires manual updates to the playlist whenever you add new Liked Songs. Also, the mobile app may not support selecting all songs at once, so you might need to add them individually or sync the shareable playlist directly from the desktop app.
- Click the Plus icon next to Your Library and choose Create Playlist.
- Right-click the new playlist and give it a name - anything you like, like "My Liked Songs" or "Favorite Tracks."
- Go to the Liked Songs tab.
- Press Ctrl + A (Windows) or Cmd + A (Mac) to select all the songs, or hold Ctrl/Cmd to select specific ones.
- Right-click and choose Add to Playlist, then pick the playlist you just created.
- Your new playlist will sync to the mobile app automatically, so you can access it wherever you go:
- On Desktop: Right-click the playlist, select Share > Copy Playlist Link, and send the link to your friends.
- On Mobile: Go to Library, tap the three dots next to the playlist, select Share, and choose to Copy Link or share via other apps like Messenger or WhatsApp.
Way 2: Create a Shortcut to Your Liked Songs Playlist
For iOS users, there's an even more automated way to keep your Liked Songs playlist up-to-date. By using the Shortcuts app, you can create a shortcut that automatically adds any new liked song to a specific playlist.
Note: This method requires some technical setup and may not be suitable for all users.
- Launch the Shortcuts app on your iPhone. If you don't have it, download it from the App Store.
- Tap the + icon in the top right to create a new shortcut.
- Tap Add Action.
- In the search bar, type "Spotify" and choose Add Track to Playlist.
- Choose the playlist where you want your liked songs to go. If needed, create a new playlist.
- While iOS doesn't allow direct "liking" triggers, you can configure the shortcut to run manually after you like a song. Alternatively, you can set up an action that prompts you to activate the shortcut when you like a song.
- Tap Done to save your shortcut.
- Test it by liking a song in Spotify and activating the shortcut to add it to your playlist.
- Once your playlist is updated, share it just like any other.
Way 3: Embed a Liked Song in the Spotify Web Player
If you want to share your Liked Songs playlist in a more interactive way, embedding it on a website or supported platform is a great option.
- Open the Spotify app on your desktop or the web player, and go to your Liked Songs playlist.
- Right-click on the Liked Songs playlist and select Share > Embed Playlist.
- This will open a menu where you can customize the appearance of your embedded playlist, like adjusting the size or color. The color will be based on the album art of the first track in your playlist.
- Once you've customized the look of the playlist, click Show Code to display the HTML embed code.
- Copy the code displayed.
- Open a text editor or the HTML editor of the platform (like Reddit, a Notion blog, or a personal website) where you want to share your playlist.
- Paste the embed code into the HTML editor of your platform.
- After pasting the code, save or publish the changes to your site or platform. Your Liked Songs playlist will now be embedded and playable directly from there!

Way 4: Play Liked Songs Playlist on Discord
If you're a Discord user and want to share your Liked Songs playlist with your friends, you can easily do so by sending the shareable "Liked Songs" playlist to a Discord chat.
- Open Discord and click the User Settings gear icon (bottom-left corner next to your username).
- In the Settings menu, scroll down and select Connections.
- Under Connections, click the Spotify logo.
- Discord will prompt you to log in to your Spotify account. After logging in, click Authorize to link your Spotify account to Discord.
- Once connected, your Spotify account will appear in the Connections section.
- Toggle on options like "Display on profile" or "Display Spotify as your status" so your Discord friends can see what you're listening to in real-time.
- Open your Liked Songs playlist on Spotify (either the app or web player).
- Play any song from the playlist, and it will show up directly on your profile for others to see.
- Tip: Alternatively, if you've created a shareable Liked Songs playlist (from Way 1):
- Right-click on the playlist and select Share > Copy Playlist Link. This will copy the playlist link to your clipboard.
- Open Discord and go to the server or direct message where you want to share the playlist.
- In the message box, type -play, then paste the playlist link (press Ctrl+V on Windows or Cmd+V on Mac).
- Press Enter to send the message.
