Sound Recipe App with Founder George Hayward.

Most people don’t think about playlists.

But some people make a living off them.

I’m talking about people who run curated playlists, updated frequently, who help Spotify listeners discover the next big thing.

And anyone with a Github knows how important version control is. But we don’t have an easy way to do that for playlists.

Top playlists change all the time, and there’s no easy way to keep a track of how they change.

I like to use Sound Recipe App for this purpose.

Sound Recipe exports the current state of a playlist easily to a spreadsheet, and it dates each filename. This allows me keep a log of my playlists, especially when I change and reorder them frequently.

It also gives me the date a particular song was added to a given playlist, and this is super helpful too.

Here’s how it works:

  1. You select any public playlist and put it into the app.
Here is where you easily paste in the Spotify public playlist link.

2. You get an email of the spreadsheet — plus this downloadable link.

This is Sound Recipe App’s History tab. It has the playlist cover, the email where you sent the Sound Recipe, and a textable cloud link for the spreadsheet.

3. Here’s what that the playlist spreadsheet looks like:

This is the “Sound Recipe”. You can see the date + export time in the filename too.

The best part is it’s only $0.99 a month after the free trial.
