1. A method for a creation of playlist interstitials, the method comprising:
providing, by a processing device of a server, a playlist interface for display on a user device, the playlist interface comprising a plurality of media items of a playlist and a selectable indicator located after a first media item of the plurality of media items in the playlist, the selectable indicator presented in the playlist interface after the first media item to indicate that, upon selection, an additional media item is to be added to the plurality of media items of the playlist after the first media item in the playlist, wherein the additional media item is an interstitial;
upon a user selection of the selectable indicator located after the first media item in the playlist interface, causing presentation of a plurality of user interface (UI) elements allowing a user of the user device to specify configuration parameters for the interstitial being added to the playlist;
receiving, through the playlist interface, user input for at least a subset of the plurality of UI elements to specify the configuration parameters for the interstitial; and
creating, by the processing device of the server, the interstitial based on the specified configuration parameters, wherein the created interstitial is supplemental content to be added before or after one of a plurality of files of the plurality of media items of the playlist.
