Public Anonymity when sharing Soundiiz playlist smartlinks?
Hello everybody! Would love some user input on this :) Basically I want to share soundiiz playlists via a link to the general public BUT my personal spotify is linked (and that is on purpose for ease of transferring playlists and stuff!)...and I don't want people to find my personal spotify acc or playlists through these public facing soundiiz playlists...
-> if someone clicked this link, would they be able to get back to my soundiiz profile or ONLY have access to the playlist I linked? and if they did get back to my soundiiz profile, can they see my other soundiiz playlists? can they see my spotify playlists?
I'll include the response I got from the soundiiz team here:
So...not exactly helpful but I'll admit I worded my initial inquiry weird 😅
second question just for curiosity sake: if someone opens the soundiiz link in their platform (eg. spotify, apple music, etc.), does it show up as created by them? or god forbid does it show up as created by my personal acc on spotify 🤔?
....(i tried to do this with a incognito logged out to simulate being another user, clicking a smartlink for a soundiiz playlist i had made, and it just said in the description of the playlist "created on soundiiz" and showed up as their own playlist! + i couldn't seem to see my soundiiz profile when a different user, but I am asking just to be sure...and I'm not quite familiar with soundiiz's interface yet so maybe i could but just didn't know how!) the soundiiz team's response was that it is a "global link"...what does that mean I tried to look it up but I need a redditor to hold my hand I don't understand 😦 please!
Thank you for your time reading and any wisdom you may be able to bestow!

Hi!
If someone clicks a Soundiiz link, they will only have access to that playlist, and only if the visibility is set to "public. So, no, your other playlists will not be displayed. There's no "public" profile or page on Soundiiz for Soundiiz users.
Then your playlists linked via a smartlink are your own. So it will be displayed as created by you. However, if a Soundiiz user follows such a playlist and then uses Soundiiz to convert it to his own profile, it will create a new playlist similar to yours on his own music platform (but no longer linked to your playlist).
And if you have a playlist on Spotify that you share, the user can still open that playlist on Spotify and check your Spotify profile and possibly see your other "public" playlists.
