Make your own music cards
Turn any Spotify playlist into your own music game, free and printed at home.
How to make your cards
The Songs with Friends card maker turns a playlist into a deck of playing cards. The front has a QR code, the back the title, artist and year. Scan a card, the song plays through Spotify, and you guess the year it came out.
- In Spotify, make a playlist of songs your group knows. Around 50 to 100 tracks is plenty for an evening.
- Open the card maker and connect your Spotify account.
- Pick your playlist (or paste a CSV export) and check the years. For remasters, the card maker looks up the original release year.
- Print double-sided (flip on the long edge), cut out the cards and start playing.
What you need
- Spotify Premium, to play the songs during the game.
- A printer and paper. Thicker paper lasts longer.
- A laptop or Android phone with Chrome to scan and play.

FAQ
Does it cost anything?
No. The card maker and the game are free. You only need Spotify Premium to play the music.
Can I use someone else’s playlist?
Yes, as long as it’s in your Spotify library. Playlists made by Spotify itself don’t always work; copy the songs into a playlist of your own instead.
How many cards fit on a sheet?
Twelve per A4. Print double-sided and flip on the long edge, so each back lines up with its QR code.
