How to make a QR code for a Spotify playlist or album
Music is easy to share in person and hard to find later. A code on a poster, a shirt or a table that opens your playlist or album lets people listen right away.
It also suits venues that want to share their own playlist.
How do I make a QR code for a Spotify playlist?
Open the playlist, album or artist in Spotify and use the share option to copy the link. Make a dynamic code that opens it. Test it on a phone with and without the app.
How is this different from a Spotify Code?
Spotify has its own scannable codes that work inside the Spotify app. A standard QR code opens with any camera, so it works for people using other music services if you link to a page that offers several options.
Where do people use it?
Gig posters, merch, cafe tables, gym walls and wedding signs. Say what the playlist is for, such as "Our Friday playlist".
