PlaylistFeed is a music submission and discovery platform that connects independent artists with the curators who run real playlists. Artists use it to get their songs reviewed by curators in their genre. Curators use it to discover new music and earn for the reviews they complete. The whole process runs inside one platform, from finding a curator to sending your track to reading the response.
Finding curators
You start in the discovery feed. It shows curators alongside the playlists they run, the genres they cover, and health data on each playlist, so you can see who is worth submitting to before you spend anything. You can preview a curator’s playlist straight from their profile. When you find one whose sound matches yours, you send a track from your account. The playlists belong to independent curators who list them on PlaylistFeed to receive submissions, and PlaylistFeed runs on its own and is not affiliated with Spotify, Apple Music, or any streaming service.
How a submission gets reviewed
Your track lands in the curator’s review queue and a real person listens to it. The curator returns one of two decisions, accept or decline. An accept means the curator is interested in your song for their playlist. A decline means it was not the right fit. Curators choose the music they want, so placement is never sold and never guaranteed, and a strong track in the right genre carries more weight than anything else. There are no bots, no automated streams, and no manipulated numbers anywhere in the process.
Feedback from curators
Most curators include a written message with their decision. You hear what a curator in your genre thought of your track, whether they took it or passed on it. Artists use that read to sharpen their mixes, their releases, and their next round of submissions.
Free accounts and Pro
Anyone can open a free account and browse the full curator directory, preview playlists, and check playlist health data. Free accounts can also review submissions as a curator. Sending your own music to a curator requires PlaylistFeed Pro. Pro removes ads, raises the curator pay rate, and unlocks the full dashboard. You never need separate accounts for artist and curator activity. One login handles both, and you switch between the two sides whenever you want.
Working as a curator
The same platform pays curators for reviewing music. A curator lists a playlist, receives submissions from artists, and earns on each review they complete, whether they accept or decline the track. Feedback that speaks to the song earns more than a quick yes or no.
