# Playlist: Bingeable Audio from Your Article Catalog

> Powerbeans Playlist auto-generates embeddable, bingeable audio playlists from your article catalog to reach commuters, multitaskers, and audio-first readers.

The Powerbeans Playlist widget turns your entire article catalog into a bingeable, on-demand audio experience — automatically. Unlike the per-article Audio Player, Playlist surfaces a continuously playable queue of your content wherever you embed it. This format is purpose-built for the audiences you are not currently reaching: commuters listening on their morning train, multitaskers who never have time to sit and read, and audio-first readers who would rather press play than scroll. Playlist meets them where they are.

<Note>
  Playlist is available from the **Pro plan** onwards. [See plans](/billing/plans) to compare tiers.

## How It Works

<Steps>
  <Step title="Embed the Playlist Widget">
    Copy and paste the Playlist snippet into your CMS template or any page where you want the widget to appear. The widget loads asynchronously so it never slows down your page.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Your Content Is Ingested">
    Powerbeans sets up a content ingestion on your site, or you push articles directly via the API. No manual uploads needed.
  </Step>

  <Step title="AI Audio and Summaries Are Generated">
    High-quality AI-narrated audio summaries are produced for each article — no editorial work required on your end.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Articles Are Added to Playlists">
    Processed articles are automatically organized into one or multiple playlists and made immediately available to listeners through the embedded widget.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## Placement Options

You can embed the Playlist widget in several ways to fit your site's layout and editorial strategy:

* **Floating button** — a persistent, unobtrusive launcher that follows the user as they scroll
* **Playlist section** — a dedicated content block within a page, ideal for homepage or section fronts
* **Embedded in article pages** — surface related audio content inline alongside the article being read
* **Embedded on the homepage** — give first-time visitors an immediate audio entry point to your catalog

## Voice Cloning

Playlist supports the same Voice Cloning capability as the Audio Player. When enabled, articles are narrated in the author's own replicated voice, adding authenticity and a personal connection that builds listener trust and deepens engagement over time.

## Monetization

Playlist supports video, audio, and display ads — all managed through a seamless **Google MCM** setup with access to **35+ top-tier SSPs**. Powerbeans handles both programmatic and direct ad sales so you retain flexibility over how you monetize your audio inventory.

## Standards & Compatibility

* **No page slowdown** — Loaded asynchronously from a CDN and cached in the browser for 30 days, with no impact on your page load time.
* **Keyboard accessible** — Passes WCAG 2.2, with full keyboard support, ARIA labels, and visible focus states throughout the player interface.
* **GDPR-aligned** — Browser-side state is minimal, limited to what is strictly required for playback. Consent determines what is stored.
* **IAB TCF ready** — Consent and vendor-consent checks follow the TCF spec. Consent status controls analytics events and whether user IDs persist.
