What is a Spotify collaborative playlist?
Spotify asserts that, with its collaborative playlist feature, you and other Spotify users can "team up to make the ultimate playlist". You can make any of your Spotify playlists collaborative, simply by letting your friends add, remove, and reorder tracks. You can even see everyone who is contributing to the playlist via their user avatars in the playlist header. Each track or episode added to the collaborative playlist will show the avatar of the person who added it.
