| callname=Playlist
| description=Returns a playlist of songs based on a seed item, which can be a song, album, artist, or any of hundreds of music attributes. Parameters in the request let you space out the songs from a single artist or album, and restrict the number of songs from a single artist or album. 

The hundreds of music attributes you can use to seed a playlist include the following:
&lt;div class=&quot;APIcol&quot;&gt;&lt;table&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;styles&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td&gt;hundreds of styles such as goth rock, smooth soul, and progressive bluegrass.&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;moods&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td&gt;hundreds of moods such as bittersweet, cosmopolitan, and meditative.&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;themes&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td&gt;dozens of themes such as family, goodbyes, and road trip.&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;genres&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td&gt;dozens of genres such as rap, holiday, and classical.&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;subgenres&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td&gt;hundreds of subgenres such as salsa, musique concrète, and contemporary blues.&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

Playlist randomizes results within the criteria you specify, so repeat requests return different results and different sequences of results.

This request returns a large amount of data, especially if you use the include parameter to return additional data. To speed data transmission, do the following:
* Request only data you need.
* Request a compressed response by including Accept-Encoding: gzip,deflate in the HTTP header.

          &lt;text&gt;One of [roviLink=&quot;MN&quot;]Martin Gore[/roviLink]'s most emotional ballads, [roviLink=&quot;MC&quot;]&quot;A Question of Lust&quot;[/roviLink] is a tender yet epic slice of beauty. Whenever [roviLink=&quot;MN&quot;]Gore[/roviLink] handles vocals on his own, it's a sign the song will deal with stark, personal feelings. Here, [roviLink=&quot;MN&quot;]Gore[/roviLink]'s voice emerges as if he's singing a lullaby. By the time the song concludes, he's emoting desperation like a wounded gospel singer. Electronic sound effects build, tumble apart, and rebuild around his slightly echoing voice. Ambient sound washes, electronically processesed handclaps, complex racing keyboard melodies, and high-pitched synth notes paint an atmosphere of optimistic sadness. [roviLink=&quot;MN&quot;]Gore[/roviLink] sings of all his weaknesses, from his fragility to his crippling inhibitions to his constant apologies. Each time he repeats the chorus, more emotion is revealed. &quot;It's a question of lust/It's a question of trust/It's a question of not letting what we've built up crumble to dust,&quot; [roviLink=&quot;MN&quot;]Gore[/roviLink] admits, that keep him and his lover together. [roviLink=&quot;MC&quot;]&quot;A Question of Lust&quot;[/roviLink] is a vital cog, if not the heart, of [roviLink=&quot;MW&quot;]Black Celebration[/roviLink]. It's a perfect [roviLink=&quot;MN&quot;]Depeche Mode[/roviLink] song and one of [roviLink=&quot;MN&quot;]Martin Gore[/roviLink]'s most touching artistic achievements. Despite the fact that he's pouring out his soul by nearly screaming his vocals at times, the song is as delicate as a baby's blanket. That he's still singing as [roviLink=&quot;MC&quot;]&quot;A Question of Lust&quot;[/roviLink] fades out is all the more reason to reach for the repeat button on one's CD player. ~ Tim DiGravina&lt;/text&gt;

          &lt;text&gt;Although it sold zillions of copies, the word on 1984's [roviLink=&quot;MW&quot;]Heartbeat City[/roviLink] by a lot of the [roviLink=&quot;MN&quot;]Cars[/roviLink]' old-school fans was that it was too slick. Since the [roviLink=&quot;MN&quot;]Cars[/roviLink] were always proudly, unapologetically slick, the argument doesn't really hold water. Perhaps what they mean -- especially in regards to the enormous hit [roviLink=&quot;MC&quot;]&quot;Magic,&quot;[/roviLink] which was inescapable in the summer of 1984 -- is that the song is a bit slight and bubblegummy, and that [roviLink=&quot;MN&quot;]Mutt Lange[/roviLink]'s production is exceedingly gimmicky. The song is certainly guilty on both counts, but in such a cavalier way that it seems bad form to get too worked up over deliberate silliness like the tongue-click sound that follows the first verse's line about high heels clicking or the way that the song's multiply-overdubbed, airy harmony vocals less-than-subtly recall [roviLink=&quot;MN&quot;]Pilot[/roviLink]'s similarly cheesy 1975 hit [roviLink=&quot;MC&quot;]&quot;Magic&quot;[/roviLink] on the &quot;oh oh, it's magic&quot; choruses. Even more than the downright goofy [roviLink=&quot;MC&quot;]&quot;You Might Think,&quot;[/roviLink] [roviLink=&quot;MC&quot;]&quot;Magic&quot;[/roviLink] is cotton candy for the ears, a giddy and possibly somewhat cynical bit of perfect pop radio fluff. ~ Stewart Mason&lt;/text&gt;
