How To Create Smart Playlist

Learn how to use Offline Player's Smart Playlist Creator to automatically organize your music by artist, genre, mood, and more. Save hours of manual organization.

What are Smart Playlists?

Smart Playlists automatically organize your music library based on criteria like artist, genre, mood, or listening frequency. They update automatically as you add new songs, keeping your library perfectly organized without any manual work. Once you've imported music from Google Drive or Dropbox, Smart Playlists will automatically organize them.
