Transfer Spotify Playlists to Another Service, Account, or Device

Option 1: Transfer Spotify Playlists to Another Music Service

If you want to move playlists from Spotify to another music service, like Apple Music, Tidal, or YouTube Music, you may find it is not as simple as it sounds. Each platform has its own catalog, so you usually need a transfer tool to match songs and rebuild the playlist automatically. For many users, this is the easiest way to move playlists without doing everything manually. ViWizard Music Playlist Transfer is a recommended choice, and other tools like Soundiiz, TuneMyMusic, and SongShift can also help. The results depend on whether the songs are available in the target service.

Method 1: Using ViWizard Music Playlist Transfer

ViWizard Music Playlist Transfer works like a real library manager, not just a playlist copier. It moves playlists and whole collections across services, so rebuilding a library track by track is unnecessary. The desktop interface handles albums, artists, and playlists in bulk, and it gives a clear transfer report showing what moved and what did not. The only limitation is that full access requires a paid license, while the free trial limits the number of songs. Still, it stands out as a fast and reliable migration solution when a clean transfer process is the goal.

Method 2: Using ViWizard Spotify Music Converter

ViWizard Spotify Music Converter is not a traditional playlist transfer tool, but it solves a different problem by keeping the actual audio files instead of just a playlist list. It downloads Spotify tracks and converts them into common formats like MP3, FLAC, WAV, M4A, M4B, and AIFF, making it possible to keep a local backup and transfer songs to services that accept local uploads like Apple Music (iTunes), Tidal, Deezer, SoundCloud, and more. The output files keep metadata like song title and artist name, so the music stays organized after conversion. It becomes a paid tool after the trial ends, but it is often worth the cost when the goal is long term access to the music.

Method 3: Using Soundiiz

Soundiiz is a web based transfer dashboard for serious migration. It works in the browser, connects to many streaming services, and supports playlists, favorites, albums, and more. It also offers bulk transfers and the option to synchronize playlists across platforms on a schedule. The free version is useful for small transfers, but the paid plan removes limits and enables auto sync. It feels like a complete music management system, and it is often chosen when control and accuracy matter more than convenience.

Method 4: Using TuneMyMusic

TuneMyMusic focuses on simplicity and speed, with no installation required. You open the website, connect services, select playlists, and start the transfer. It supports many platforms and offers backup and syncing features. Accuracy can vary depending on song information, and large playlists may require a paid plan or splitting them into smaller chunks. Still, it is a popular choice because it removes complexity and gets the job done with minimal effort.

Method 5: Using SongShift

SongShift is a mobile first transfer app built around a simple shift workflow. Services are connected within the app, a playlist is selected, and the transfer begins. The review screen lets mismatched tracks be checked and corrected before finishing the transfer, which helps when song information differs between services. The app offers a Pro version that removes ads and unlocks extra features, while the free version still covers basic transfers. For a fast and practical mobile experience, SongShift is a solid option.

Option 2: Transfer Spotify Playlists to Other Devices

If you want to move Spotify playlists to other devices, such as MP3 players or car systems, Spotify does not offer a direct export option. Usually, files are stored as cached data instead of real music files like MP3. That is why you need ViWizard Spotify Music Converter, which can convert music, podcasts, audiobooks, and even your whole library into a format your device can read.

The process is fairly straightforward. You just load your Spotify library into the program, add playlists or albums, select a format, and start converting. Once converted, the files will be saved to your computer. Then you can transfer them to another device using USB, cloud storage, or AirDrop for Apple devices. This is useful for offline listening where Spotify is not supported, and you do not need the Spotify app or Premium subscription.

Option 4: Transfer Spotify Playlists to Another Spotify Account

If you want to move playlists to another Spotify account, the easiest way is to share the playlist and save it from the new account. Spotify allows playlists to be public or shareable, so you can access them like any other shared playlist. You can also make them show on your profile by choosing Add to profile on desktop. This makes them visible on your profile page and can remove the need to share them manually.

1. By Adding Spotify Playlists to Profile

Step 1 Log in to your old Spotify account and open the playlist you want to transfer.

Step 2 Click the three dots and select Make Public if it isn't already public.

Step 3 Click the three dots again and choose Add to profile (desktop only).

Step 4 Go to your profile page and confirm the playlist appears under your profile.

Step 5 Click the three dots under your name and choose Copy link to profile.

Step 6 Log out, then sign in to your new Spotify account.

Step 7 Paste the profile link into your browser's address bar and open it.

Step 8 Scroll to the playlist, then click the + button to save it to your library.

Step 9 The playlist stays on the old account, but your new account can now access it.

2. By Sharing Spotify Playlists Directly

Step 1 Log in to your old account and open the playlist you want to move.

Step 2 Click the three dots, then select Share > Copy link to playlist.

Step 3 If the playlist is private, click More > Make Public first, then copy the link again.

Step 4 Log in to your new account, then paste the playlist link into your browser's address bar and open it.

Step 5 Click the + button to save the playlist to your library.

Step 6 Click the three dots again and choose Add to other playlist > New playlist for a cleaner transfer.

Step 3 Right-click the selected songs, then choose Add to other playlist > New playlist.

Step 5 Right-click the new playlist, select Make Public, then click the three dots and choose Share > Copy link to playlist.

Step 8 Click the + button to save it to your library, then click the three dots and choose Add to other playlist > New playlist for a cleaner transfer.

Step 9 Now your "Liked Songs" list is duplicated and moved to your new account as a playlist.

Option 5: Transfer Spotify Playlists to the Same Spotify Account

Yes, we cheated. It is less like transferring and more like creating a duplicate version of playlists created by you or someone else. You can save playlists to your library or recreate them manually. Even if you adjust the playlist later, like changing the name, replacing the profile picture, or reordering the songs, you still keep both the original and edited version.

For Desktop / Mobile

Step 1 Open the playlist you want to duplicate in Spotify.

Step 2 Click the three dots next to the playlist name.

Step 3 Select Add to other playlist > New playlist.

Step 4 Enter a new name for the playlist, then click Create.

Step 5 Your playlist is now duplicated and saved as a new playlist in your account.

Extra Tip: How to Transfer Spotify Playlist Followers to Another Account

If you want to move your followers to another account, you may find it is not possible to transfer them directly. Followers are tied to the playlist and the account that owns it. However, you can still keep your followers by making the playlist public and asking them to follow the new playlist on your other account. Adding a short description to the original playlist and sharing the link through social media can help keep them informed. Before getting started, enable the "Show my follower and following lists on my public profile" setting under Social.

For Desktop / Mobile

Step 1 Open the playlist on your old account and make sure it is Public.

Step 2 Click the three dots, then select Edit Details. You can change the name or add a short note in the playlist description telling followers you moved to a new account.

Step 3 Copy the link to your new Spotify profile.

Step 4 Share the link through social media, email, or messaging apps.

Step 5 Ask followers to follow your new profile and playlist.
