curated playlist
Selected music collection
A curated playlist is a collection of songs selected and arranged by a person or algorithm rather than generated randomly.
The term emphasizes intentional selection—someone has chosen these tracks to fit a theme, mood, or purpose: a curated playlist for your morning run, Spotify's curated playlists for focus and concentration.
The word curated, borrowed from museum contexts, implies care and expertise in the selection.
