Here’s where you can play My Tracks, which sync automatically from iplayer Radio via your BBC account. Manage playlists, get recommendations and browse collections such as ‘The 80s’, Great British Bands To Bake To, and Michael Ball’s Songwriters Hall of Fame. Best new feature: Thanks to those pesky licensing restrictions, the BBC Music app itself won’t play more than 30 seconds of a pop song. To get around this and play full versions, you can now export your playlists to a supported app, such as Spotify or Youtube.
To do so, tap Menu, My Music, My Tracks, then tap either Deezer, Spotify or Youtube (see screenshot above). Tap to tick the boxes to confirm BBC Music can share your tracks with the selected account, click Next, sign into Spotify (or whatever service you chose), then click OK to connect the two accounts. From now on, whenever you tap ‘Add to My Music’ on any track or playlist in the BBC Music app, it will be added to the linked account. To play your My Music tracks in
Spotify on your PC, for example, open Spotify’s web player ( www.open.spotify.com), sign in, click Your Music, then the BBC Music playlist.
