playlist
Curated listening order
A playlist is a curated list of songs, videos, or other media files arranged for sequential or shuffled playback.
Originally a broadcast term for radio programming, it now refers mainly to personal collections on streaming services: I made a playlist for the road trip.
Playlists can be private, shared, or algorithmically generated based on listening habits.
