Frequently Asked Questions
What is the /newplaylist command?expand_more
Type /newplaylist in the chat to start a guided conversation. The AI will ask you about genre, mood, style, language, and Suno model — then generate your 20-song playlist.
How many credits does a full playlist cost?expand_more
It depends on the render mode. A complete Mode 1 or Mode 2 playlist costs 120 credits ($12). More media-rich modes (3–5) range from 150–175 credits. You can always use 'song gen only' or 'render only' to split the cost.
What happens if I run out of credits?expand_more
Your creation pauses — nothing is lost. Grab a one-time credit pack from your dashboard to top up instantly and continue right where you left off.
Can I use my own images or videos as backgrounds?expand_more
Yes. In Mode 4 (10 images) or Mode 5 (mixed), you can upload your own media instead of using AI-generated content. All rendering modes support custom uploads.
How long does rendering take?expand_more
Most playlists render in 5–15 minutes depending on the render mode and server load. Professional and Ultimate plan users receive priority rendering queue access.
How do I connect my YouTube channel?expand_more
Go to Settings → Integrations → YouTube and authorize via Google OAuth. Once connected, PlaylistCraft can publish directly to your channel with auto-generated titles, descriptions, and thumbnails.
