How to add Playlist to Wix.
This was one thing that kept bothering most wix profilers, and the answer was so simple I banged my head when Toxxn found out how and told me.

In order to add a Playlist to your wix, you need to go to wigets and then click the HTML button. A menu will open up, what you want to click is ‘Blank HTML’, after you click this, you’ll get a little blue box in the corner of your wix profile.
The next step is to go to Playlist.com and select the playlist you wish added to your profile. Click ‘Share This Playlist’ located on the left of the black bar just beneath your desired playlist. After you set everything just the way you would like it, click the blue ‘Get Code’ button. Copy the entire embed code and return to your wix profile.
The blue box is telling you to go to “Settings” to embed the code you have just copied. Go down (not up) to the blue screwdriver and wrench icon and click THAT “Settings”. The rest will be explained in the newly opened window.
Credit goes to Toxxn for figuring this out
So I figured out this much of it. I've added a blank HTML, not a Wix playlist, and linked my Playlist.com account's playlist instead. However, all I get is a text URL, not an embedded playlist.
I think this happens because the Playlist site changed their format this year. Instead of allowing embedding, when you Share you get a direct link to your playlist. The framework for an HTML embed is no longer there. But I'm not sure, because I'm new to this.
I know that when you click "Preview" on Wix it won't run HTML. However, they state themselves that you can go to My Account on Wix and run a true preview from there by clicking View.
UPDATE
I found this help for Off-site (Widget) Embedding on Playlist.com. It seems they no longer support it. Does anyone know a way around this or another site I could use?
