Collection List

These features are only available to music label and distributor partners who use YouTube Studio Content Manager and the YouTube DDEX feed with version 3.6+ of the Electronic Release Notification (ERN) standard.

This article is for DDEX ERN 3.X only. Please refer to DDEX ERN 4.3 reference samples for details on ERN 4.3.

In Video Single feeds, the <CollectionList> is used to add Music Videos to playlists on YouTube. The <CollectionList> is not used in Sound Recording feeds.

To include a video in an existing playlist, you can use the dedicated "YOUTUBE:PLAYLIST_ID" namespace inside the <CollectionId>, with a <CollectionType> of "FilmBundle".
