6 Ways to Export Spotify Playlists to Text

Method 1. Export Spotify Playlists to Text Manually (Playlist URL)

Your Spotify playlists are tied to your library. That means every time you want to check them, you need to go to the app, and they stay with your account. Exporting playlists, however, can be easy. Just open your playlist, select all the songs, copy them, and paste them into a text file. From there, you can get all the URLs and use the file however you like. It's fast and straightforward, and you'll always have a record of your tracks, even if you change your library in the future.

1. Launch the Spotify desktop app or open the Spotify web player.
2. Open the playlist you want to export.
3. Click the first song in the playlist, then hold Shift and click the last song to select all tracks.
4. Right-click the selected songs and press Ctrl + C on Windows or Command + C on Mac.



5. Open a text editor:
   • For Windows: Open Notepad.
   • For Mac: Open TextEdit.
6. Click in the text editor and paste the copied URLs. You may right-click and select Paste or press Ctrl + V on Windows or Command + V on Mac.



7. Go to File > Save As (or Save on Mac), choose a location, name your file with a .txt extension, and click Save.

Method 2. Export Spotify Playlists to Text or CSV Automatically (Playlist and Track Info)

For a more structured backup, there are automatic tools that can save time. Tools like Exportify are web-based and export your playlists to text or CSV files. Soundiiz and TuneMyMusic also allow you to transfer playlists between music platforms, though some features may require a Premium account. These tools are convenient if you want a structured export without manual copying.

Option 1: Export Spotify Playlists with Exportify

1. Open your browser and go to the Exportify website.
2. Click the Get Started button.



3. Grant Exportify permission to access your Spotify account so it can load all your playlists automatically.
4. Browse your playlists. You'll see playlists you've created, curated Spotify playlists, and your Liked Songs playlist, identified in the Owner column.
5. Check the number of tracks in each playlist and whether it's public or private.
6. Select your playlist to export:

   

   • To export all playlists at once, click Export All. Exportify will generate a ZIP file containing CSV exports of all playlists.
   • To export an individual playlist, click Export next to the desired playlist. Exportify will create a CSV file immediately.
7. Open the downloaded CSV file to view track data such as track URL, track name, artist, album, genre, duration, added by, and date added.



8. If you prefer a text file, open the CSV in any text editor and save it as .txt.

Option 2: Export Spotify Playlists with TuneMyMusic

1. Open your browser and go to the TuneMyMusic website.
2. Click the Let's Start button.
3. Choose Spotify as your source.



4. Log in with your account or paste the playlist URL directly.
5. Once the playlist loads, review the tracklist to ensure all songs are included.



6. Select the option to Export to text.



7. Choose whether to export as a CSV or TXT file.



8. Click Export.
9. Click Start Transfer.



10. When the transfer is complete, download the file containing track name, artist, playlist, type, and ISRC.
    Note: URLs are not included, unlike Exportify.

Option 3: Export Spotify Playlists with Soundiiz

1. Open your browser and go to the Soundiiz website.
2. Log in with your account and authorize access.
3. Browse your playlists and select the playlist you want to export.
4. Click the More menu next to the playlist and select Export.



5. Choose the desired file format (CSV, TXT, JSON, XML, or XSPF).



6. Confirm which tracks to include.



7. Proceed with the export and download the file.

Note: Larger playlists may require a Premium account to unlock full export functionality. Without it, you may encounter error 201, saying "You must have a Premium account." Subscribe first, then retry.

Option 4: Export Spotify Playlists with Chosic

1. Open your browser and go to the Chosic website, then select the exporter tool.
2. Log in for authorized access or paste the playlist link directly.



3. The playlist will load. Check for duplicated songs or any missing tracks.
4. Confirm the tracks you want to export.
5. Choose the file type. You can save it as a new CSV or TXT file.
6. The generated file will download directly to your device. You can view track name, artist, BPM, genre, album, and other details. Note: URLs are not included.

Method 3. Export Spotify Playlists to MP3 Automatically (MP3 Files with Metadata)

Sometimes a text or CSV file isn't enough because your favorite playlists are tied to Spotify and can't be directly downloaded due to DRM protection. If you want to save playlists as actual audio files for offline listening, try ViWizard Spotify Music Converter. It lets you download and convert your Spotify library into MP3, WAV, M4A, M4B, AIFF, or FLAC while keeping all track metadata intact—artist, album, track number, year, artwork, and more. DRM is removed automatically, and you don't need a Premium account to access your playlists offline. This method is perfect if you want to take your playlists anywhere, like a portable device or in the car.

Pro Tip: Export Spotify Playlists to Google Sheets Automatically (Track Info)

If you prefer spreadsheets, exporting playlists to Google Sheets is a great option. You can include detailed track info like artist, album, and playlist position. This is useful for organizing your library, tracking listening habits, or sharing playlists with friends. Google Sheets also makes it easy to update your list whenever you add new songs.

1. Open your browser and go to IFTTT or Zapier.
2. Sign in or create an account if you don't already have one.
3. Set up a new automation (or "Applet" in IFTTT / "Zap" in Zapier) with the following trigger: When a Spotify playlist is updated.
4. Connect your Spotify account and select the playlist you want to track.
5. Set the action to Add a new row in Google Sheets. Map the fields to include track information such as:
   • Track name
   • Artist
   • Album
   • Playlist name or position (optional)
6. Connect your Google Sheets account and select or create a spreadsheet to log the playlist tracks.
7. Save and enable the automation. From now on, whenever the playlist is updated, the new tracks will automatically be logged in the sheet.
8. Open your Google Sheet anytime to view all tracks, and optionally download it as a .txt file for offline backup.
