@elan as @blissful and @KarlDag state.
Hopefully this is something that can now be prioritised

I think the granular approach would be more useful. More like the way we select Libraries to share, rather than âAllow Channels.â
I think there should be two ways to share playlists in Plex Web (Iâve made a similar suggestion regarding sharing of libraries).

I will say this is not okay. I want have my own playlist which syncs just for me. And, another playlist which I can have sync with specific people. For example, I would not want to sync my morning commute playlist with my wife and take up space on her device unnecessarily, and have playlist intended for me and my wife to be synced with my kids.
To be clear, as âKarlDagâ mentioned, this is to share AND sync the playlist and not just share the playlist. So, in the the context of this feature request, the option you mentioned would sync all playlist and the content of the playlist that the person doesnât like would sit there and take up space unnecessarily. (Correct me if Iâm wrong on this ⊠may be you still need to manually initiate sync on the device after the playlist is shared?)
Yeah pretty sure you are wrong there because that would be silly. This proposed âSingle option to share all playlistsâ would not locally synchronize the playlist content to each/every device. The point is that a single managed playlist would be viewable across accounts. ie synchronized between accounts - not to devices.

Yeah, that would definitely make more sense. But, itâs the way that phrase is worded which make it confusing. What does he actually mean? Does he mean what youâve just mentioned, or does he mean just share all playlist with the list of songs for each playlist without syncing? Just not clear enough for me.

Since playlists are scoped for more than music (tv/movies also) it just no sense to make that the de-facto standard behavior. Especially true when implemented in a blanketed and un-granular way.
To be honest Iâd never even considered your view of what syncing playlists may mean until you brought it up. Seems obvious now that a little more clarification in the request is in order.
My thoughts are that since itâs titled âSync and Shareâ as if to imply two similar but separate things, the sync portion is syncing across accounts while sharing would be outside of the plex home maybe to friend accounts. Even that is open to interpretation however.
If he is actually talking about two different things it ought to be two separate feature requests. Synchronizing a playlist locally to a device has nothing to do with sharing a playlist to some other account.
Some comments:
Syncing and Sharing are two separate things and it would be wrong to conflate them (yes, the original poster should ideally have made two separate feature requests). Imagine a hypothetical world where you could both sync and share a playlist: you could share a playlist with a friend, but the friend doesnât have to sync the playlist content to a device - or your friend might have their own playlist that they sync to their own device, but they donât have to share it with anyone. So, two separate things.
Elanâs question was about a hypothetical all-or-nothing playlist sharing (similar to how Allow Channels lets the shared user access all channels if the option is enabled). Imagine youâre the server owner/admin and you have 5 playlists (various music, movie, etc.) created. When setting up a share with another user, maybe thereâs some kind of Share Playlists option and when enabled, the shared user has access to and can use a âread-onlyâ version of all 5 of your playlists.
Itâs also worth pointing out that the ability to sync playlists already exists with our newer sync technology. Yes, only iOS currently has that new technology, but weâre working to bring the same thing to our other Mobile Sync-enabled apps, too. (Itâs a pretty massive change; it takes an awful lot of development work and testing for a change that large, which is why itâs not yet available on the other sync-capable platforms. We absolutely want to get that functionality out to users.)

Itâs equally ridiculous to point out to the masses âthatâs not how to voteâ. While +1ing posts may not be the right way to deal with it, the user community needs a way to express themselves other than a silent vote.
Nobody said you had to be silent. The poster to whom I replied referred to the number of +1 posts. I was merely pointing out that that is not how Plex tallies votes.
+1 Please add sharing of playlists
What I would like to see is of course the ability to sync playlists like what is currently in the IOS app.
As far as sharing I would like to be able to share some of my playlists to selected users or group of users on my server. One idea would to be create a new âShared Playlistâ library, and allow dragging playlists in and out of this and the standard Playlist library. Sharing could be done through restrictions under users, having the shared playlist library and you can associate labels just like is done with other libraries. They would be able to move the playlist into their Playlist library if desired. This would allow the shared ones to be synced and edited across all users it is shared with inside the shared library. Moving it to your normal playlist library will keep it specific to you.
What might be a quicker, easier solution is to have playlist import and export functions.

Thereâs no question that a more granular sharing functionality would be more flexible/powerful in general. But I think the question here is largely, âif sharing of playlists with a specified user was all-or-nothing, would that still be useful enough to bother with at allâ?
Keep in mind that an approach like that would very likely be easier and quicker to develop and thus more likely to appear in the shorter term than [super in-depth/complicated sharing]. And such a thing might also be a first step toward more extensive sharing. 
For me I am 1000% more interested in Syncing a Playlist to my device than I am in sharing one.
I use Plex out on the water and there just isnât enough cell service to stream consistently. That makes using Plex for Music to difficult in its current state. Having synced playlists would make it super easy.
As far as sharing goes I like the idea of creating a âShared Playlistsâ library vs the 100% all or nothing approach. Everything in the shared library can be available to everyone and everything in the current Playlists library is not. I think that still keeps it pretty simple and at least gives people a small amount of flexibility.
I second this - the lack of Playlist sync to my mobile devices is the ONLY thing keeping me from switching to Plex 100% for EVERYTHING and ditching other 3rd party playlist sync client/server apps, which are painful. Plex makes everything super easy with Sync, and I for one have been waiting for over a year to hear more on Playlist sync development, and clearly, others in the plex user world also want this and are patiently waiting. its difficult to Sync an Entire Album(s) to a mobile device if you just want a song or two. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE work on playlist sync to mobile devices. I donât really care about sharing my playlists with others, maybe down the road this would be nice, but mobile sync of playlists is paramount!

Elanâs question seemed to be asking for a preference between the two.
Keep in mind that an approach like that would very likely be easier and quicker to develop and thus more likely to appear in the shorter term than [super in-depth/complicated sharing]. And such a thing might also be a first step toward more extensive sharing.
Whichever route results in the quickest path to the more useful model, as far as Iâm concerned. If doing it in two steps is going to delay the end result by a year, Iâd rather skip the first step. If two steps accelerates the end goal, then thereâs no need to ask the question.
Sharing of Playlists is fine⊠I just personally would rather see mobile Playlist sync first. Would really make plex the one stop shop for all media needs.
Please!!!
+1 This needs to happen asap

yeah but every other posts in this forum about one of those 2 ideas gets closed because of this thread.
maybe someone could split the thread or something.
I am shocked that this is not a thing yet. There is absolutely no use for me for the mobile app without being able to have my playlists available while being offline. Which also means, Plex is currently unable to replace Google Music 
Would be an immense quality of life improvement if we could sync playlists.
