If you’re like most people, you probably have a playlists of songs that you’ve listened to over and over again. Whether it’s because you love them or they’re just some of your favorite songs, having a playlists is a great way to keep your music library organized and easy to access. There are a few things you need in order to create and manage your playlists: an Android device, an internet connection, and some music files. In this article, we’ll show you how to create and manage a playlist on your Pixel phone using the Google Play Music app.

  1. Open the Google Play Music app on your Android device.
  2. On the main screen, click on the three lines in the top left corner of the screen (the three lines that look like circles). This will take you to a menu where you can choose which account to use for this project: Google+, Facebook, or iCloud. If you’re using iCloud, make sure that it’s selected in the bottom left corner of the screen.
  3. In the next window, select which songs you want to add to your playlist: from scratch or from one of your existing playlists. If adding songs from an existing playlist, make sure that all of the songs in that playlist are selected before clicking on Add Song . If adding songs from scratch, select all of the songs in your music folder (or wherever you save your music) before clicking on Add Song . 4. Click on OK when prompted for confirmation; this will add all of the selected songs into your new playlist! 5. To remove any song from your new playlist, simply click on Remove Song from My Playlist . 6. To see all of the plays for each song in your new playlist (and see how many times each song has been played), open up Google Play Music and look at “My Playlist” under “History.”

Not only does the feature recognize songs in the background, but it also keeps a running history of the identified songs saved in the handset’s settings. These songs can be exported to a YouTube Music playlist for future listening.

At this writing, YouTube Music is the only supported music service for this feature. The option won’t even appear if you don’t have YouTube Music installed on your Pixel. There’s a chance more music providers might be added in the future.

First, swipe down twice from the top of your Google Pixel’s screen, and then tap the gear icon to open the Settings menu.

In the search bar, type “Now Playing,” and then tap “Now Playing History.”

Tap the music icons or long-press a song to select it. Choose all the songs you want to add to the playlist.

Next, tap the export icon at the top right.

A menu will appear from the bottom of the screen; select “Add to Playlist.”

The “Add to Playlist” menu from YouTube Music will appear. Select one of your existing playlists or create a new one.

The songs will now be added to the playlist. You can visit the “Now Playing History” page at any time and add recent songs to your playlist. This is a great way to save songs you hear when you’re out and about.
