  • You can change a playlist's name on both the Spotify desktop and mobile apps, but you will need to be the owner of the playlist. 
  • To change a playlist's name on the Spotify mobile app, first access it from the "Your Library" tab before selecting "Edit Playlist" from the three-dotted Settings menu. 
  • You can change a playlist name on the Spotify desktop app by selecting "Edit Details" from the three-dotted Settings menu directly under a playlist's title. 
  • If you don't see the "Edit Playlist" or "Edit Details" options, try refreshing the app — you don't have editing access for that playlist.

Playlist titles can be a form of self-expression, but sometimes inspiration just doesn't strike and you end up with something like, "Happy playlist" or even just a string of random letters.

If you use Spotify, you don't have to keep those placeholder titles. You can easily edit the names of your playlists. However, you can only edit playlists that you own.

Here's how to edit a Spotify playlist's name, using either the desktop version for Mac and PCs or the mobile app for iPhone and Android devices.

How to change a playlist name on Spotify using the desktop app

1. Open Spotify on your Mac or PC and log into your account, if necessary.

2. Open the playlist that you want to change the name of.

3. Click the three dots under the name of the playlist and select "Edit Details."

  • Note: If you don't see this option, you don't have editing access for that playlist.

4. Add your new playlist name in the "Name" field, in addition to a description if desired. 

5. Click "Save."
