• providing, to a user of the media application, a user-curated playlist, the user-curated playlist including an ordered set of media items that were added by the user;
• displaying, in a user interface of the media application, a toggle button to turn on and off an option to reversibly include recommended media items interleaved within the user-curated playlist;
• receiving a first user input selecting the toggle button to turn on the option to reversibly include recommended media items interleaved within the user-curated playlist;
• in response to the first user input selecting the toggle button to toggle on the option to reversibly include recommended media items interleaved within the user-curated playlist:
• reversibly including a set of recommended media items, including a first recommended media item, interleaved within the user-curated playlist, wherein the set of recommended media items are selected without user intervention based at least in part on attributes of the user-curated playlist, wherein the first recommended media item is interleaved at a position in the user-curated playlist in between media items that were added to the ordered set of media items by the user;
• while displaying a representation of the first recommended media item interleaved with media items in the ordered set of media items:
• receiving a second user input requesting to add the first recommended media item to the user-curated playlist;
• and
• in response to the second user input, adding the first recommended media item to the ordered set of media items;
• after adding the first recommend media item to the ordered set of media items, receiving a third user input deselecting the toggle button to turn off the option to reversibly include recommended media items interleaved within the user-curated playlist;
• and
• in response to the third user input, maintaining the first recommended media item in the user-curated playlist and excluding others of the set of recommended media items from the user-curated playlist.
