Search for own playlists by a song they contain

[Deenie_76]

I have been making playlists on Spotify for over ten years. I often want to listen to an old playlist but I can’t find it as there are several to scroll past. I would like to search for a playlist according to what songs are in it as this is more useful than just being able to search by the title of the playlist.

For example, I know I have a playlist with Funkin for Jamaica in it and I would very much like to listen to that whole playlist. However, as it wasn’t the first song in the playlist, the playlist has a different name. When I go to my playlists and type “Funk” into the search bar, it only comes up with a playlist I made called Uptown Funk. It should come up with a list of playlists I’ve made that contain either Uptown Funk or Funkin for Jamaica or any other playlist with songs that have Funk in the title. Surely this is possible?

Hi there @Deenie_76,

Welcome to the Spotify Community!

You can do this by locating the song in question and tapping the checkmark: you'll get a list of all personal playlists the track appears in:

Hope this info was useful. Cheers!

Wow - I just tried it and it worked. Thank you, that is a huge help. It’s still a lot of scrolling to find those check-marked playlists after all these years but it works.
