Currently there is no option to share the liked songs playlist. As a workaround you can copy your liked songs and add them to a new playlist. Then you can share the URI of the playlist with these steps.

You can head here and add your +Vote. You can also Subscribe to the thread, so you can stay up-to-date with any relevant news about this.

@dsis42 There is no option to auto-populating playlist of all your liked songs. You can give these steps a go and share your idea. That way other users can support it. Keep in mind the higher the number of votes an idea gets, the more likely it is for it to be implemented.

If you have questions, don't hesitate to reach out to us. We'll be happy to help.

Hello @Minikaur,

Thank you for marking my answer as solution!

If you don't want to add every song individually, which I understand might be tiring, it's recommended to use desktop app, as it allows you to select multiple songs and move them to a new/different playlist. To do that, you can follow the steps from my previous response.

Unfortunately, it's not possible to do that on mobile. With mobile device, you'd have to add every song individually.

However, if you create your Liked Songs playlist on desktop, it will appear on mobile as well.

If you'd like to see an option to share your Liked Songs playlist with others or make it public, make sure to vote on this idea.

It would be helpful for Spotify, as this shows how many people are interested in it. Generally, the more votes an idea has, the bigger the possibility it'll be implemented.

More details on how your feedback reaches Spotify can be found here.

Let me know if you have any further questions 🙂

Hello,

I'd like the option to hide/remove the new liked songs playlist please.

I don't save albums or songs that way anymore as the limit is too low so it's not relevant to me and annoying that it's there at the top all the time.

Thanks

Hey!
We've been keeping an eye on this submission for an extended period of time, and it doesn't seem this will reach the votes necessary to put it forward for prioritization.
As such, we're marking this case as closed. This includes any similar suggestions that are received.

If we do have any new information to share, rest assured we'll check back in here with a new status. Have in mind that the idea will continue open for getting votes, so if you still feel strongly about it, continue sharing it with more users.

More information about it can be found here.

Thanks for your comprehension!

What to Know

In Spotify, click Liked Songs, right click the song you want to share > Share > Copy Song Link or Embed Track.
To move all Liked Songs to a different playlist, click Liked Songs and press Ctrl or Cmd and A to select all, then right click to choose from relevant Playlisth options.
Liked Songs is a dedicated playlist of songs you have liked rather than a regular playlist, so you can move songs around or remove them entirely.

This article teaches you multiple ways to share liked songs on Spotify and how to turn liked songs into a playlist using the Spotify desktop app.

Sharing liked songs on Spotify isn't like sharing a playlist because it's individual tracks rather than a playlist you have created. It's almost as simple to share your favorites through this method though. Here's how to share liked songs on Spotify with your friends.

Open Spotify.
Click Liked Songs on the left-hand pane.
Find the song you wish to share.
Right-click on the song.
Hover over Share.
Click Copy Song Link to copy the link to your clipboard so you are able to paste it anywhere.
Click Embed Track if you wish to embed the track on a website.

How Do You Copy All Liked Songs on Spotify?

If you want to copy all your liked songs on Spotify and move them to a different playlist, the process is quite similar. By following this method, it saves you the effort of copying each song individually. Here's how to do so.

This method doesn't allow you to share links with other people. To share the songs, you will need to turn your liked songs into a playlist as explained earlier.

Open Spotify.
Click Liked Songs on the left-hand pane.
On a PC, press and hold Ctrl and then press A once or on a Mac, Cmd and A to select all songs in the list.
Drag the songs into an existing playlist in the left-hand pane to add them there.
You can also delete them all by right-clicking the selection and then clicking Remove from your Liked Songs.

How Do I Turn My Liked Songs Into a Playlist?

If you want to turn your liked songs into a playlist, that's also an option. Alternatively, you can add all your songs to your queue so music is always playing. Here's how to do both in Spotify.

Open Spotify.
Click Liked Songs on the left-hand pane.
On a PC, hold down Ctrl and A or on a Mac, Cmd and A to select all songs in the list.
Alternatively, right-click one song if it's the only one you wish to move to a playlist.
Hover over Add to playlist.
Click Add to a new playlist or add to an existing one.
The playlist has now been created. Rename it by right clicking on it and click Rename.

If you have created a playlist from your Liked Songs and you want to share it with someone, here's what to do.

Right-click the playlist on the left-hand pane.
Hover over Share.
Click Copy link to playlist.
The link will be saved to your clipboard and you can share it with friends or on social media.
