How to Create a Playlist & Post It on Tumblr
You can create playlists through a variety of Web services to add to your profile on Tumblr. There are multiple free options such as YouTube, Hypster and MixTape, so don’t be fooled into paying for a playlist service. You’ll need to sign up for an account before you can create a playlist; most playlist sites ask for an email address and password to register but do not require any personal information. If you want to change up the songs, your playlist will be saved so you can add or remove songs with the click of a button, leaving you with hours of music to enjoy.
