I don't know about you, but one of my favorite things about attending live music performances is the element of surprise. Besides the music itself, there's an art to how artists choose the order of their songs. Now, Apple Music is recognizing that.
Apple Music is turning setlists into playlists
A new feature allows artists to create playlists featuring the songs they performed at their recent shows. This should make it a breeze for you to relive the concert you just attended and jog your memory with some good (fingers crossed) vibes. Plus, you can check out all the tracks an artist plans to perform before catching them on tour.
Now, while this feature is aimed at artists, I think it also brings some perks for us regular users. For example, when artists put together a setlist and share it on social media to announce their upcoming tours or concerts, it makes staying in the loop a whole lot easier. Plus, it's a great way to reconnect with someone you experienced the live show with.

If you're an artist eager to try out this new feature on Apple Music and create a Set List on your artist page, head over to Artist Content and scroll down to Artist Playlists. Here's how to kick things off:
Click the (+) button next to Artist Playlists or the Create a Set List button if you haven't made one yet.
Choose the type of show (concert, tour, or residency) and enter an event name.
Add an event: If you've linked your Bandsintown account with Shazam, you can select from upcoming events. If not, connect your Apple Music artist page to Bandsintown or manually enter your event details, including location and date.
Set a publish date for the playlist, ensuring it's at least one day in the future. The playlist will be published based on your local time. Click Continue when ready.
Use the search function to add tracks to your Set List, either by song name or by pasting an Apple Music link. Include the songs performed during the show, and adjust the order as needed. Click Publish when done.
You can create multiple Set Lists for different shows, which will display by popularity on your Apple Music artist page and Shazam pages. However, keep in mind that any playlists managed by Apple are not editable.
