Convert lists into audio playlists

To convert lists into audio playlists, you’ll need to clarify whether you’re referring to:

  1. Text-based lists of songs (e.g., song titles/artists in a document) that you want to turn into an actual playlist on a platform like Spotify or YouTube Music.

  2. General topic-based lists (e.g., “Top 10 Productivity Tips”) you want converted into audio files or spoken word playlists.

  3. Audiobook-style narrations created from textual content in list form.

I’ll explain all three scenarios briefly so you can pick the one you’re looking for:


1. Text-Based Song Lists to Streaming Playlists

If you have a list like:

  • Bohemian Rhapsody – Queen

  • Billie Jean – Michael Jackson

  • Shape of You – Ed Sheeran

You can convert it into a playlist using tools like:

  • Spotify Playlist Generator (TuneMyMusic, Soundiiz)
    You paste the list, and it searches for matching songs to create the playlist.

  • Python Script (using Spotify API)
    A script can parse the list and auto-create a playlist in your Spotify account.


2. Topic-Based Lists to Spoken Word Audio (e.g., Podcasts)

For example, converting this:

  • Wake up early

  • Meditate for 10 minutes

  • Review your goals

Into an audio playlist:

Steps:

  • Use text-to-speech (TTS) tools like Amazon Polly, Google Cloud TTS, ElevenLabs, or PlayHT.

  • Paste each list item as a script, generate audio, then combine the clips using audio editors (like Audacity or Adobe Audition).

  • Export all items into a single MP3 file or separate files in sequence.

  • Host them on platforms like Anchor.fm, SoundCloud, or Google Podcasts to create a playlist.


3. Automated Tools for Creating Audio from Lists

Some services automate this entirely:

  • Lumen5 / Fliki / Descript: Turn blog-style content or bullet lists into audio or video presentations.

  • Murf.ai / Resemble.ai / Listnr: Convert long-form text or structured lists into professional audio with different voices and accents.

  • Export files in MP3 and create a podcast-style series or playlist in players like Spotify, YouTube, or Apple Podcasts.


Would you like help automating one of these conversions? You can also share a sample list for me to demonstrate converting it into an audio-ready script.
