What does Save Playlist actually save?
A copy of the titles and artists you paste — plus a date and a checksum (the seal). You can download that copy as JSON, M3U, XSPF, CSV, text, or a ZIP pack, or lock an unlisted link for 730 days. It is not a live sync with Spotify, Apple Music, or YouTube, and it does not need you to sign in.
Can you import my Spotify, Apple Music, or YouTube playlist automatically?
No. Without signing in to those services, this page cannot open a hosted playlist or album link. Copy the songs out of the app (the How section has the honest steps), or drop an Exportify / Apple Music / M3U file, and file that list here. Individual Spotify or YouTube track links can have their titles looked up through each service's public oEmbed endpoint.
What is the seal?
A short catalog number derived from a SHA-256 hash of the normalized artist and title list. If two backups have the same seal, the songs match. The seal is written into the downloaded files so you can check a copy later.
Who can open a locker link?
Anyone with the exact link. Lockers are unlisted (not in the sitemap, and /v/ is marked noindex), not password-protected. Do not put private notes in a title if you plan to share the link. A locker is kept for 730 days from the day it was filed.
Can I use Purrple Cat songs in a new video or song?
Yes for new songs and new videos, as long as you credit the work under CC BY 4.0. No re-uploading the original beats. No remixes, covers, or raps over the beats on streaming platforms.
Is this Purrple Cat's catalog free to use?
Purrple Cat's own music is released under CC BY 4.0. Credit: Music by Purrple Cat (purrplecat.com), licensed under CC BY 4.0. Other artists in a list you paste keep whatever licence they already have — this tool only stores the names you typed.
Does the on-page player play my pasted list?
The player on the shelves plays official Purrple Cat album recordings (the real catalog, with official art). If a track you filed is a Purrple Cat song from that catalog, it is marked PC in the open box. Pasted lists from other artists are backed up as text; they are not streamed from here.
Will there be new Purrple Cat songs?
Yes. New songs continue to come out on the usual storefronts and on purrplecat.com.
