Manage playlists

Open Library → Playlists → New playlist, enter a name and save. Open a playlist and use the pencil to rename it. Names may contain up to 180 characters.

Song rows in Search, Home and Library expose a three-dot menu: Add to playlist opens your local lists and also lets you Create and add. The full player has an Add to playlist button. Adding an existing song to the same playlist is harmless; it remains a single entry. Add to queue is a separate menu action.

Inside a playlist, hold a drag handle and move it vertically. Near the top/bottom, the list scrolls to reach more entries. The new order is saved when you release the handle. Song menus also provide Move up and Move down for precise ordering and accessibility. Remove from playlist affects only that list; favorites and listening history are kept. Deleting a playlist asks for confirmation and also preserves favorites/history.

Imported playlists are editable. Reimporting merges missing songs, keeping your custom name and existing order. Concurrent imports during a reorder retain newly added songs at the end. None of these actions modifies your YouTube account.

The playback queue is independent of playlist edits: changing a saved playlist does not unexpectedly change the queue already playing. Play all again to load the updated order.
