3 apps to discover, create and share playlists

So you've got a great big house party coming up. Food and drink? Check. Tidy living room? More or less. Neighbours pacified in advance? As far as an invite and a kind word go.

Lighting? Just right. Now, to pray to the rain gods that they save their downpours for after your guests have arrived. But are you forgetting something?

Music! One of the key ingredients to a smashing soiree that your mates will remember for a long time to come. And that doesn't mean plugging in your iPod, hitting Shuffle and hoping for the best - it's about setting the mood, complementing the event, and keeping everyone in high spirits till it's time to leave. So whether you're planning a Bollywood-themed blowout or a quiet wine-and-cheese evening, the right playlist will make all the difference.

Playlists are also a great way to share your favourite songs and artistes with friends, family and philistines, who are happy with just about anything on the radio. Or, if you want to let someone know you're thinking about them, a custom playlist with hand-picked tunes is a great way to do so. Here's taking a look at three brilliant apps to easily create, discover and share playlists with online, or on the go with your mobile device. Dim the lights, turn up the volume and let's get this party started!
