streaming playlists

Digital music sequences

Streaming playlists are curated collections of songs or videos available through online media services like Spotify or YouTube.

Unlike traditional playlists burned to CDs or stored locally, streaming playlists draw from vast catalogs and can be created by users, algorithms, or editorial teams: The workout playlist had two hours of high-energy tracks.

They've become a primary way people discover and organize music.
