QuestionThe pencil button isn't showing up for me. What do I do?
Community AnswerReset your computer, and try again. If not, give it a few days and listen to a pre-made playlist. -
QuestionI want to remove the playlist cover so it can go back to the 4-collage image but I don't see that option. How do I do that?
CitylimitsCommunity AnswerYou should be able to remove the cover by clicking on the playlist image > 3-dot menu > Remove photo. If that option isn't appearing, try logging out, restarting your device, and logging back in.
Warnings
- If you've saved a playlist made by another user to your library, you can't edit it or change its picture.Thanks!
