As you’ve discovered more and more music on Hype Machine, you’ve probably wished there was a way to categorize your finds. A way to revisit the dancey things while planning a party mix, just hear the slower tracks, or find that spoken-word piece again. Now you finally can!
When favoriting a track, you can add it to one of three playlists—Up, Down, and Weird. These are the categories we use, but you can rename them (long-press the title, Emoji welcome!). You can also put your existing favorites into these categories. Just swipe across each track and pick the list that fits best. The tracks in each list show up in the same order as in your favorites.
This is among the most requested Hype Machine features, so we’ve put a ton of thought into making it fit the experience. Our goal since 2005 has been helping you find new music to fall in love with. You can stumble into all kinds of different stuff here, and these playlists will help you remember everything great you’ve found, in any category.
But really, I just can’t wait for you to try this out. Let us know what you think!

Very exciting! Is this out on the phone app yet, or just in browser? Will I be able to other users/friends playlists?
Holy shizz.. awesome job devs!! So is this what was delaying the Android app? Can you guys release it now!? :))
Hallelujah! Thanks for heeding the call, fellas. Long live the HYPE!
Great feature! I like the simplicity, definitely going to make throwing on some Hype for friends easier. @Chet it looks like the playlists are directly linkable, you can right click the name (up, down, weird) and copy the URL and browse them on people’s profile pages.
great, you read mi mind!!! i was thinking that and now is real.
Pd: sorry for my english.. i speak spanish
amazing! amazing! amazing! will I be able to add them to hypemachine playlists from within the sonos app too? That’d be the next thing otherwise 😉 THANKS!
amazing! This is great and really needed.
Did you guys add upvote/downvote too?
I’d love to see genre “subs” with a “front page too.”
I was just thinking about how awesome this feature would be 2 days ago. I am so excited to try this out. :D:D:D
Why limit to just 3 playlists?
Long live Hypem!!!
I love the new playlists! My only issue is that I can’t seem to add a song to multiple playlists. Will that be possible soon?
When’s your android version out!!
Been waiting for playlists since ’08! Thanks for all your hard work 😀
I’m hoping users will be able to add more than three in the future and can add a single track to multiple lists. However, as it stands I’m very pleased I can separate my “party” playlist from my “chill” one as that has resulted in some awkward parties in the past haha.
YESSSSSSSS!!!!!!
ahhhhhhhhh sheeeeeeet
Thanks guys! <3 this
This is exactly what i’ve been hoping for. If you guys could expand it to 4 or more playlists, that would be amazing. I understand it probably would screw with symmetry of the app but that would be great.
Thank you though for listening to our feedback. yet another reason i love you guys..
YES! Also bring SHUFFLE MODE into the playlists please!! My playlists are getting long. Also featured playlists by bands that use hypem would be cool.
Hell yeah!! Been waiting for a long time for this feature. I’ve always had to unlike / like tracks so that they’d go to the top of my favourites list. UNTIL NOW
*** I REALLY HOPE Hype Machine will be compatible with Carplay when it comes out. For us Canadians, there are way less offerings in the way of streaming music; no Pandora, no Spotify, no aha, no iTunes Radio!! Hype Machine is quite literally my pulse and lifeline for new music.
PS, fuck Songza
Really awesome new feature. Its simple yet effective. Only thing I will say is that an option to put songs in more than one playlist would be great. Also, if you could shuffle within a playlist that would be cool.
Thanks!
one day, a friend of mine was just randomly letting me know about hypem n all..n since that day,evrytime i need sumthing new for my ears, i know exactly where to go.. maybe soon enough hypem can share some music scene from jakarta indonesia! keep up the nice work..cheers!
AHHHH!!! I am so happy =P *runs around dancing and screaming wooohooo*
Agree too with a lot of the comments that more than 3 playlists in the future would be great, and definitely would like the option to shuffle playlists, or add same song to more than one. But still very excited about this new development and can’t wait for the app update, I listen to Hype Machine exclusively in my car!
Just to echo:
* Why only 3 playlists? Not trying to be greedy, but would be really nice to hear the “why” from you. You know what I mean? …as in, what led to your decision to do only 3 and what are your thoughts on expanding this in the future?
Thanks!
Awesome work! Finally can make a suitable for work playlist.
Now pleaase release the Android app
Realy nice idea !
awesome update like it
Bravo Guys. This is such an awesome feature. When will this ANDROID APP come out though?????????????
#longlivehypem
love it!!! just wish i could add the same song to more than one of the playlists.. either way THANK YOU
yayyyyyyyy! been waiting for this day forever! #ilovehype <3 <3
xoxoox
Brilliant addition! A shuffle button on each playlist would just top it all off nicely
Praise the lord it’s here! Since joining Hypem in 2011 its become a the main source of how I digest music. I now use Hypem on the daily and was beginning to think whether you’d ever make a playlist feature!!!
I can already tell it’s gunna make my day to day life so much easier and plus now when I wanna show my friends that dope track I heard last month I don’t have to errr….scroll through endless pages….errrr…where is it again?
Forget it moments gone.
PROUD OF YOU!
WELL DONE!
AWESOMEEE~
Now for the love of god PLEASE release an android app! So tired of using UberHype ;-;
This is great! You guys are always stepping it up!
How do I assign tracks to a playlist through the website?
Thank you Hype Machine. This feature vaults you from my favorite music app to my favorite app period.
I renamed the lists: Dance, Chill, and Classic. Super easy to use.
Excellent news! Congrats, guys.
Thanks a lot!
Great features and all but please give us the Android app already.
UberHype is good, but not good enough.
пока не опробовал это на айфоне!
Но спасибо большое, давно ждал!
Оу-Оу-Оу
ДА, ДА, ДА.
супер удобно, практично!
Без отрыва юзаю Хайп уже больше двух лет. В избранном больше кэта отборной музыки, которая мало кому доступна.
Спасибо!!!
Тестим уже сейчас!
Нет счетчика прослушиваний?
Если есть (по желанию юзера) можно было бы разделить кол-во прослушивай каждого юзера определенного трека.
Типа есть любимые, которые прослушал больше определенного кол-ва раз) их в up. остальные по другим раскидать. ну или по жанрам автоматически раскидать, или дать юзеру возможность из избранных содать три плейлиста по 3 любимым жанрам.
awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thank you! This update is definitely a game changer!
Amazing, amazing <3
Awesome!
Wondering if the shuffle feature will be available for individual playlists too – that would be a great addition
Been waiting for this, Hypem is my go to #1 app/website for music. Would be extra awesome if you could add a song to multiple playlists.
How do you do this on the website? I favorite a song and nothing shows up
Hey guys,
Great job. I’ve been a huge fan since 2008.
Quick question… If I take a song in my main favourites list and add it to another playlist, will it be removed from the originating playlist? Or will it now appear in both lists?
Cheers,
Brian
muhfkas where is the ANDROID APP.
Thank you so so very much for making a playlist. I have been oftening making notes of certain songs that I have <3'ed over the years. A first world problem solved!
Like a three toed sloth moving really really slowly eating leaves, I’m genuinely happy.
Shuffle button for playlists please! Or rearranging the playlist. Thanks again though, long live Hype Machine.
1. Can the order of songs within the playlist be changed?
2. Shuffle please
3. More than three please
Thanks! Awesome update
Awesome! This website/app gets better everyday haha!
[…] playback so I don’t have to always go back and play the exact stuff I want. And now that Hype Machine allows users to create playlists, it makes even easier to just push play and go to work. The last site on the list, StereoMood, is a […]
Awesome feature! It’s just too bad that a track can only be added solely to one of the three playlists..
FINALLLYYYYY!!! No more Steve Aoki Remix’s back to back with Bon iver…although sometimes it works?
Awesome – thanks for building this!!!
Would love to be able to use this on the website! I’m an Android (via Uberhype app) / web user, and am stoked to have this functionality.
I absolutely love it, it will take me a while to start making good use of this, so many favorites to go through!
Now the one thing I must also ask is, will we ever get more flexibility with these playlists? Renaming the playlists would be awesome, and of course I’d love to have more then 3 (who doesn’t).
Thank you so much, as a long time user with to many favorites to sort through, you made one of my dreams come true.
Yes, crazy, having the playlist feature on HypeM has been a dream… HURRAY
This is an awesome start. Cannot wait to create an unlimited number of playlists (would even agree to paying more for more).
Like a bedtime, a coding, a designing, and so on. My music experience is complete whenever this is built!
Keep it up guys!
Jon
Quick question, why is there no REGGAE Genre? You guys are ignoring a very huge cross section of music and people. I would love to see this added.
Great! How can i change the title??? Not working with long-pressing?! Thx
Why on earth can’t I get it to work on my iPhone? Whenever I left swipe the track in my Favorites playlist, it just brings up the menu bar…
What am I doing wrong!?
I love Hype but you really, really, really need to build in functionality so people can order their favourites list in a more comprehensive way (ie alphabetically). For users such as myself who have hundreds of favourites, its a nightmare locating tracks or artists easily. That would be a fabulous addition to an already great service
I am so excited and can’t wait to give it a try. Wonderful job done by devs. Cheers!!
I love this Android Version so much! the only thing is I can’t figure out how to add music to playlists. I have tried to swipe the song at multiple places. It either goes to play other songs or just moving screens around.
This android version is super awesome. Dev you guys deserve a BIG HUG 😀 😀
SHUFFLE PLEASE GUYS!! I crave it!
I have the same problem as Macy (read below). When will Hype Machine fix the playlist issue for Android?
“I love this Android Version so much! the only thing is I can’t figure out how to add music to playlists. I have tried to swipe the song at multiple places. It either goes to play other songs or just moving screens around.”
Ahh! I figured it out. Hold down the red heart next to the song information in any playlist screen. It will present the other playlist options.
I’d like to shuffle through my favorites. I’m able to do this via Hypem for iPhone, but it doesn’t exist on web. Thx!
Amazing! Will I be able to add them to hypemachine playlists from within the sonos app too? That’d be the next thing otherwise 😉 THANKS!
@Charles, there’s unfortunately no way to add to a specific playlist within the Sonos UI, but you can play each of the playlists.
Shuffle button for playlists please! Or rearranging the playlist. Thanks again though, long live Hype Machine.
