Playlist Types

Playlist Types

Click + New Playlist on the Playlists page and you get six choices.

Type	What it does	Page
naviList	Builds a playlist from rules you set, using only tracks in your library	Rules Builder
Navidrome Smart Playlist	A UI for Navidrome's own smart playlist files. Navidrome evaluates and refreshes them itself	Navidrome Smart Playlists
ListenBrainz	Brings in your generated ListenBrainz playlists, as a subscription or a one-off snapshot	ListenBrainz and Last.fm Playlists
Last.fm	Same idea, using Last.fm charts	ListenBrainz and Last.fm Playlists
Manual	You browse your library and pick tracks	Manual Playlists
Import	Load a playlist file (m3u, JSPF, Exportify CSV, or a naviList export)	Importing Playlists

naviList is the main one. The other five either wrap something that already exists or put a playlist together by hand.

What each type can do

	Regenerates itself	Edit rules	Scheduled refresh
naviList	yes	yes	yes
Navidrome Smart Playlist	Navidrome does it	yes	handled by Navidrome
ListenBrainz / Last.fm subscription	updated by the service sync	no	follows the 30 minute service sync
Manual, Import, snapshots	no	no	no

Only naviList playlists use the cron schedule described in Auto-Refresh.

Filtering the list

The Playlists page has a filter by type and a search box. You can switch between a list and a card view, and select several playlists to delete them together.

Exporting

Open a playlist's menu and choose Export to download it as M3U, XSPF, CSV or JSON. The naviList CSV and JSON formats can be imported again later.
