Is it possible to build this in bubble?

Questions
1

Is it possible to build a “playlist” website on bubble where users can login and create playlists of books they are reading, playlists they love, audio books etc…
Or does this sound more like a custom build project

100% doable in Bubble. It should be pretty straightforward depending on your goals.

Thanks for the reply Andrew,

Good to hear it is doable. I’ll let you know how I go. Can you recommend any helpful threads that might give me some insight on how to approach it?

In terms of data structure, you need to think about how you want people to be able to work with the data. Will playlists be all of one media type (only books, only songs) or should a playlist be able to have any. Similarly, you need to consider how songs are related to albums and related to musicians.

If you want a playlist to be able to have multiple kinds of media (like books, songs, etc) I would recommend doing a date type “Media” then a field called “Type” which could be “book, audiobook, podcast, etc” and then all the fields needed for each of the types. And if you want to link to the artist/author, that is something else to consider too.

Then, a data type “Playlist” can have a field that is a list of multiple “media” and it can be a mix of any of the kinds of media.

Thanks Brian, great advice.

I was thinking of having different screens for each, so like in Spotify how you click on Music or Podcasts. You would click on Books and it would show you your playlists for your books. Each playlist would therefor have only one media type in it. For your podcasts you might have a playlists for crime, for favourite episodes, for entrepreneurship…

But you make a good point, bringing in song name, artist, album, podcast show, podcast episode, seasons etc… makes it a bit more confusing.
