About Playlistation
Playlistation sorts your Spotify Liked Songs into playlists that maintain themselves. You sign in with a free or premium Spotify account, create a playlist and add filters, such as a specific artist or tracks released within a recent window, and the service fills the playlist from your library and keeps watching it. Removing a track from your library removes it from the smart playlists, and a newly liked track is checked against all your rules.
Filters cover genre, artist, BPM or tempo range, language, release date and like date, and track duration, with some premium filters on paid plans. The service says it does not see your Spotify login details because you sign in on Spotify's own site, and that its Login with Spotify passed Spotify's review.
The free plan allows 5 playlists and 1,000 monitored liked tracks with updates every 6 hours and 3 filters per playlist. Plus at $3 per month and Pro at $10 per month raise the limits to 50 and 500 playlists, with faster updates and more filters.
