spilleliste

A spilleliste is a curated sequence of audio or video items arranged for sequential playback. It can be created for personal listening or viewing sessions and is a core feature of modern media platforms, software players, and streaming services. The concept is the same in many languages, with 'playlist' used in English.

Items in a spilleliste typically include metadata such as title, artist or creator, duration, and order. Playlists may be public or private, and can be created by a single user or collaboratively by multiple contributors. In some contexts, playlists are algorithmically generated to match a taste profile or context.

Common types include personal playlists, editorial or genre-based lists curated by editors, and algorithmic mixes or radio-style streams that resemble a continuous broadcast. Users often save, share, or export playlists for use across devices or offline playback. A queue or play queue may temporarily override the current playlist.

Creation involves selecting items, arranging order, and naming the collection. Sharing may involve public links, social features, or export to a standard playlist file. Licensing and rights management govern what can be streamed or downloaded; platforms typically host the content and control access.

Spillelister are supported by music and video platforms such as Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube, and many podcast apps. They are also distributed as playlist files in formats such as M3U and PLS, which reference the media locations for playback in compatible players.
