Collaborative Holiday Playlists

'Playlist Potluck' Lets Any Family Members Add Songs

Playlist Potluck, a new Spotify feature introduced by the music streaming service and Sonos, takes some of the pressure off of hosting family during the holiday season. Aside from all the hassles of cooking food and finding places for people to make hay, agreeing on a nice playlist to set the mood can be as difficult as keeping the conversation away from politics. Appropriately, Playlist Potluck uses musical democracy to solve the problem, letting any family member add songs to a collaborative playlist.

Playlist Potluck offers more than just some familial convenience. Spotify and Sonos are also giving away a personally cooked dinner for 10 to a lucky winning playlist submitted through the Playlist Potluck competition.
