Playlist Buddy vs Playlist Forge

Tired of hearing the same songs every time you shuffle a big playlist? Playlist Buddy lets you pick up right where you left off — so your music keeps moving forward, not looping.

Generate any playlist you can imagine with a simple description, build one around the song you're playing, or scan a photo of a tracklist. Play a daily song puzzle drawn from your own playlists, or from Apple Music's charts and curated Essentials playlists. Powered by Apple Intelligence, on your device or on Private Cloud Compute, or by Claude with Playlist Buddy Pro.

Playlist Forge is where you build playlists on Apple Music and share them with a community that actually listens. Pick any artist and Playlist Forge builds a playlist around them — just their songs, or a mix that trees out through similar artists. Lean toward the hits or dig for deep cuts, set the length and a release-year range, preview every track, then save it straight to your Apple Music library. BUILD Start from any artist. Choose "just this artist" or "artist + similar," pick Hits or Deep cuts, set the length and years, preview the songs, and save to your library in a tap. DISCOVER Browse playlists made by real people, add any of them to your library instantly, and follow the curators whose taste you trust. Likes, adds, and comments help the good stuff rise, and you can search across every playlist and person. MAKE IT TOGETHER Start a community playlist and let others add songs. Turn on song voting so the crowd thumbs each track up or down for fit. CHALLENGES Host your own themed challenge or enter someone else's, then let the community vote for a winner. Several can run at once, so there's always something to jump into. BOOST Give a playlist you're proud of a spotlight — pin it to the top of Discover for a day so everyone finds it. STAY IN THE LOOP Get notified when someone follows you, when your playlist hits a milestone, or when a new challenge drops. Playlist Forge is your library, your taste, together with everyone else's. Requires an Apple Music subscription to build and save playlists. Sign in with Apple to post, comment, follow, and vote. Boost and Host a Challenge are optional one-time in-app purchases.
