How to Save a Reddit Music Thread as a Spotify Playlist

Reddit is one of the best places on the internet to discover music. Whether it's an r/listentothis thread, an r/electronicmusic recommendation post, or someone's "top 50 albums of all time" list, the problem is always the same: how do you actually listen to all of it? ListToTrack makes it easy.

The Reddit music discovery problem

A typical Reddit music recommendation thread looks something like this:

Typical Reddit music thread

Here are my favorite tracks right now:

- Khruangbin – Time (You and I)

- Tame Impala – Let It Happen

- Unknown Mortal Orchestra – Hunnybee

- Mac DeMarco – Chamber of Reflection

- Mild High Club – Homage

Great taste — but copying each track into Spotify search one by one is painful. Especially when threads have 20, 50, or even 100+ tracks in comments and sub-comments.
