Apologies if this has been addressed, a search for “playlists” was a bit long. I love my music playlists. So say I have playlist A, playlist B & playlist C. I would like to combine the songs from all 3 onto playlist D. There doesn’t seem to be a way to check the songs within the playlists to do that currently. Thank you.
While playing a playlist in the web app, you can add this playqueue to another playlist.
- Start playing the first playlist you want to combine in Plex Web
- click on the ‘Play queue’ icon at the bottom
in the next screen, click on ‘Add to Playlist’ up, right
and type in a name for your combined playlist
Then stop playback and start playing your other playlist and repeat the 'Add to playlist process.
The result of this operation will always be a ‘dumb’ playlist.
i.e. when you add ‘smart playlists’, the resulting playlist will not retain the “magic” auto-update ability of the original smart playlist(s).

I should have been more specific. I’d like to make permanent playlists that I can update (subtract or add) however I like. I generally open Plex & make playlists through the Chrome browser & listen (& watch) through the Plex channel on Roku. So what I’d like to do is if I have a playlist of Jazz & want to combine it with a playlist of World Music, I could do so more easily. My playlists are rather long so to combine them into one mega list would be pretty time-consuming otherwise. I thank you for the help though, Otto.

That’s what ‘dumb’ playlists are.
And that’s what the above procedure creates.

AH! Now I see, said the blind man. Thanks again for your help, Otto.
