    The importer already in your new app

    If you don’t mind signing in to both apps, these built-in importers move playlists for you. They only copy playlists you made, and songs that aren’t in the new catalogue get skipped or flagged for review.

    The quickest route for each pair, with and without logins. Checked November 2026.

    Guide 1

    How to transfer a playlist from Spotify to Apple Music

    Most people searching for a playlist transfer are moving from Spotify to Apple Music. Apple now has its own importer, so start there if you have an Apple Music subscription.

    With logins (fastest)In Apple Music: Settings → Apps → Music → Transfer Music from Other Music Services, or on music.apple.com open your profile → Transfer Music. Sign in to Spotify and pick playlists. Only playlists you made transfer, and you have 30 days to review songs it couldn't match.
    Without logins (here)Export the Spotify list, paste it into the converter, choose Apple Music, then open each song and add it to a new playlist.
    1. In the Spotify desktop app, open the playlist, click one song, press Ctrl/⌘ + A, then Ctrl/⌘ + C. That copies a link for every song.
    2. Paste into the converter and press Look up links. Spotify's public link preview only gives the song title, so for artist names use a CSV from a read-only export tool such as Exportify (exportify.app), or Spotify's own data download in Privacy settings.
    3. Choose Apple Music, then work down the list: Find on Apple Music, add the song, tick Added.
    Open the converter

    How to transfer a playlist from Apple Music to Spotify

    How to transfer a playlist from YouTube Music to Spotify

    YouTube Music doesn't have an export button, but Google Takeout can download your playlists as CSV files.

    With logins (fastest)Spotify's Import your music (Your Library, mobile app) can read YouTube Music after you sign in.

    1. Go to takeout.google.com, press Deselect all, tick YouTube and YouTube Music, and under “All YouTube data included” keep only playlists.
    2. Download the export and open the playlists folder. Each playlist is a CSV of video IDs.

    Guide 4

    How to transfer a playlist from Spotify to YouTube Music

    YouTube Music doesn't have a general importer of its own (its only official route is to and from Apple Music), so this is where a search-link list saves the most time.

    With loginsThird-party transfer sites such as Tune My Music, Soundiiz or FreeYourMusic can sign in to both accounts. Free plans have limits, so check before a big move.
    Without logins (here)Copy or export the Spotify list, choose YouTube Music here, and use the search buttons with “Save to playlist”.
    1. Copy the Spotify playlist as above, or upload an Exportify-style CSV.
    2. Choose YouTube Music. Each search uses the artist and title, with “(feat. …)” removed so the match is cleaner.
    3. In YouTube Music, open each result's menu → Save to playlist, then tick Added.

    How to transfer a playlist from Spotify to Tidal or Deezer

    Both Tidal and Deezer have built-in transfers run by Tune My Music. If you'd rather not hand over your Spotify login, use the list here.

    With logins (fastest)Tidal: look for Transfer Music in the app or on tidal.com. Deezer: Settings → Transfer your favourites. Both ask you to sign in to Spotify.
    Without logins (here)Paste the Spotify list, choose Tidal or Deezer, and add songs from the search results.
    1. Copy or export the Spotify playlist and paste it in.
    2. Choose Tidal or Deezer as the destination.

    Open the converter
    Apple Music to YouTube Music

    Apple's official route: go to privacy.apple.com, sign in, choose Transfer a copy of your data, then Apple Music playlists → YouTube Music. Only playlists you made are copied, and it can take a few hours. Without a login, export a text file from the Mac Music app and use the converter with YouTube Music selected.

    YouTube Music to Apple Music

    Google's official route: in Google Takeout, start a transfer from YouTube Music and pick Apple Music as the destination. You need an Apple Music subscription. The Takeout CSV method above also works here; just choose Apple Music.

    Deezer to Spotify, Apple Music or anywhere

    If the Deezer playlist is public, paste its link (deezer.com/playlist/…) into the Deezer box in the converter. It reads up to 500 songs through Deezer's free public API, with artists and albums. For a private playlist, make it public for a minute, or use the importer in the app you're moving to.

    Tidal to Spotify or Apple Music

    Tidal has no export button. Spotify's and Apple Music's importers both list Tidal as a source if you'll sign in. Without a login, type or copy the song names from the Tidal web player into the converter, one per line.

    Amazon Music to anywhere

    Amazon Music has no public playlist export. Spotify, Apple Music, Deezer and Tidal importers can all read Amazon Music after you sign in. Otherwise, copy the song names from the Amazon Music web player into the converter.

    Sharing a playlist with a friend on a different app

    Build the list, fill in the slip box (title, what app it's for, a short note) and send the link. Your friend picks their app, gets one search button per song, and can tick songs off as they add them. No account on either side.

    FAQ

    Questions people ask

    Does playlisttransfer move my playlist to another app automatically?

    No. It never signs in to your music accounts, so it can't create playlists for you. It turns your list into one search button per song for the app you're moving to, lets you tick songs off as you add them, and gives you CSV, M3U and text files. If you're happy to sign in to both apps, the importers built into Spotify, Apple Music, Deezer and Tidal can do it for you; they're listed on this page.

    Is it free? Do I need an account?

    It's free and there's no account. Your list stays in your own browser. Nothing is uploaded unless you look up links or make a saved transfer slip.

    Why can't I just paste a Spotify or Apple Music playlist link?

    Since Spotify's February 2026 Web API changes, new apps like this one can only read the songs in playlists that belong to the person signed in, so a public playlist link isn't enough. Apple Music's API needs a paid developer account. Deezer still lists public playlists through its free public API, so Deezer links work here. For the others, export or copy the list first; the steps for each app are in the converter.

    What is a transfer slip?

    A transfer slip is a link you can send to a friend. It opens the same list with search buttons for whichever app they use. A saved slip is kept for 180 days and isn't listed anywhere, but anyone who has the link can open it. If you'd rather nothing is stored, choose the link-only option: the whole list is packed into the link itself.

    What can I do with the CSV, M3U and text files?

    The CSV opens in Excel, Numbers or Google Sheets and has a ready search link for each app. The text file is one “Artist - Title” per line, which most transfer tools accept in their paste-text import. The M3U file lists each song by name, for playlist tools and music players that read track names.

    How many songs can a list have?

    Up to 500 songs per list. For a bigger library, do one playlist at a time.

    Why are some songs missing on the new app?

    Catalogues differ by app and by country, and some songs exist only as a different version, a remaster or a live take. Use the other app buttons on each row to compare, and mark a song “Not there” so your CSV shows what's still missing.

    What gets stored, and where?

    Your working list is saved in your browser's local storage. Saved slips are stored on Cloudflare for 180 days. When you look up Spotify or YouTube links, the titles they return are cached for 30 days so repeat lookups are faster. Your IP address is only turned into an anonymous daily counter to stop spam, and it isn't kept. There are no accounts, emails or cookies.

    Can I use the Purrple Cat songs on this page in my videos or my own music?

    Yes. You can use Purrple Cat songs in your videos and streams, and in new songs, including on YouTube and Spotify, as long as you include the credit line: Music by Purrple Cat (purrplecat.com), licensed under CC BY 4.0: creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ What's not allowed: re-uploading the original beats as they are, or releasing remixes, covers or raps over the beats on streaming platforms.

    What is the Purrple Cat closer?

    It's an optional set of three calm Purrple Cat songs added to the end of your list, one for studying and one for the night. It's off unless you turn it on, and it's clearly marked as a closer in the list and in the files.
