Spotify community and playlist sharing site Playlists.net (formerly ShareMyPlaylists) is continuing its drive to put music discovery at the heart of its proposition.
Following a redesigned Spotify app, today the UK startup unveiled an entirely revamped version of its iOS offering in a bid to make it the go-to app for discovering Spotify-powered playlists on Apple’s mobile devices.
New features include the ability to upload playlists, including adding custom artwork, from within iOS a much requested option, we’re told. But most interesting is a new feature that enables users to “pin” playlists to a location or venue and, in turn, discover music based on their current whereabouts.
So, for example, says the company, you could add your favourite workout playlist to your local gym for other Spotify users to work up a sweat to. Or coffee shop staff could pin a playlist of the music they play in-store for their best hipster customers to enjoy.
