Wants To Put Songs In a Particular Order

Question

I've subscribed to spotify in order to build my playlists for my upcoming wedding.
Though it doesn't matter what order the songs are in for cocktail hour, I have a DJ mentality and want to put songs into a good organized flow for the reception. Is there a way to do this?
Thanks for any and all help

Hello:
Yes you should be able to do this. Just create your playlists, and add the tracks you want and put them in the play order you want. You can do this by dragging each track up or down the playlist order listing you wish for the track to be played in the order you want, after those tracks have been added to the playlists of course. Just make sure you do not click on any of the columns in the playlists as that reorders the track listing accordingly to whichever column you click on. You probable will want to double check these playlists a day or so before the wedding, as the content gets updated daily, so any content not available before the wedding will be unplayable unless you download it previously before the wedding. If you have a permium account, what you can do once you have the playlists set up how you want, with the music you want, and the order I would download those playlists for offline use, as you can keep the music for up to 30 days without a device app resync to update the music licenses. Just make sure before you download the playlists for offline use, you select in the app Preferences for High Quality streaming so they are downloaded in the higher quality when you set the playlists for offline use.
You can set up a test playlist and do the offline listening option in the high quality streaming to see how it will work when you use the device in offline mode without an Internet connection. A broken stream due to Internet issues could put a damper on things with songs having problems streaming over the internet. When you are ready to get the proper playlists downloaded for offline mode for the wedding, just put the test playlist back to online mode, and set the wedding playlists to offline so they can start the downloading procedure. The switching playlists back to online and offline ensures you stay within the 3,333 track download limit, but you should be fine for a wedding though unless it is going to go on for a week. :-)
