Can anyone help with this? Canceling my Facebook account has created a lot of problems with Spotify, but I figured it out. But I have a quite a few long playlists that I do not want to have to recreate on my new Spotify account.
Is there a way to back them up and import to my new account?

If your Spotify is connected with Facebook and you don't want your friend to know your listening activity, the best way it to create another account. But how to get the playlist from your old account to the new one?

In the following parts, I'm going to show you how to copy Spotify playlist to another account and play Spotify songs unlimitedly without Premium.

Part 1. How to Transfer Spotify Playlists to Another Account Manually

There are two methods to transfer playlists from your old Spotify account to your new one. Both methods involve sharing the playlists and saving them, and they work best on computer devices. If you can still access your account, music library, and the specific playlists you'd like to transfer, you can either export them to text (like a shareable URL) or publish them to your profile. Then, log into your new account and grab the playlists directly by opening your profile or the URL, which redirects you to the playlist where a "Save to library" option is available.

However, saving them directly will mark your old account as the creator. If you'd like to remove this and keep the playlists as your own, we suggest you choose "Add to other playlist" instead to create a brand new one with the same songs.

Method 1: Publish Your Spotify Playlists to Your Profile

  1. Launch the Spotify app or go to the Spotify website and log in to your old account.
  2. On the left-hand side, find your playlists. Right-click on each playlist and select "Make Public".
    • Tip: If you see "Make Private" instead, they are already public.

  3. Open a text document and press Ctrl/CMD + V to paste the URL. Repeat this for each playlist.
  4. Log out of your old account and log in to your new Spotify account.
  5. Paste each copied playlist link into the address bar and press "Enter" to open the playlist.

  6. Right-click on the new playlist and select "Make Public" if it isn't already.
  7. Right-click on the playlist and select "Share" > "Copy link to playlist". This copies the URL of the playlist to your clipboard.
  8. Log out of your old account and log in to your new Spotify account.
  9. Paste the copied playlist link into the address bar and press "Enter" to open the playlist.
  10. Once the playlist opens, click on the "+" button to save it to your library. For a cleaner transfer, click on the three dots > "Add to other playlist" > "New playlist".
