You’re ready to transfer.

We’re ready to help you.

Get in touch

We're a small team of passionate developers, who believe that playlists you've curated should stay yours, no matter where you stream.

When Apple Music launched in 2015, we wanted to switch from Spotify. There was only one HUGE problem: transferring our playlists to the new streaming service...

Moving 3000 songs manually would have taken hours, so this was out of the question. Like you, we were searching for a better way to transfer music. To our surprise, we struggled to find the right tool.

And that's how we decided to build one ourselves. Since then, we've been helping hundreds of people transfer their music every day.

Our story

Stop wasting your time and effort on recreating your music collection!

Free Your Music scans your playlist data and imports it from a range of different music streaming providers. Transfer with Free Your Music now and enjoy your music in a new service!

Your playlists belong to you

Streaming services don’t make it easy to transfer your playlists. That’s why we created a music transfer app.

It's time to FREE YOUR MUSIC.

Did you know that 7 out of 10 people hold back the decision to change their music streaming service? Most music platforms don't make it easy to transfer your playlists and bulding them from scratch takes too much time and effort.

Switching to a new music service can be frustrating.

With Free Your Music, it doesn't have to be.

Playlist transfers made simple

Move playlists, liked songs, and albums between any major streaming service.

Take your music with you

Migrate from and to any music services

Free Your Music is the easiest way to transfer your playlists from one streaming service to another.

Free Your Music is an actively developed project. To keep going and to build a better product, we charge for app licenses. It helps us cover expenses related to design, development, and customer support.

Free Your Music is the only transfer tool that offers native apps for all platforms: iOS, Android, Windows, MacOS and Linux. Most transfer tools offer web applications, which are cheaper to develop, but can compromise data privacy. With Free Your Music, all your data is stored locally on your device. Our users’ data is protected as everything happens on the client side and not on the servers, as in the case of {competitorName}.

Some companies offer free or cheap services because they earn by collecting personal information from users. Free Your Music has no part in that business model. We don’t collect any data to share or sell it to third-parties.

Free Your Music is a premium service, but we offer a free trial and 3 different {pricingPlans}.

There are other music converters but none of them is as privacy-focused as Free Your Music.

We spent a lot of time tweaking our algorithm, adjusting different parameters for different music services to get you the best results. Some services have bad search engines and return garbage, others have great searches that match songs much better. That is why the matching quality can vary depending on the music services you are migrating to

Free Your Music uses special algorithms to always find the best match between music services.

There are many reasons why Free Your Music is a great {competitorName} alternative. If we haven’t convinced you so far, take a look at what others have to say about our tool. We have been positively reviewed in major media publications and over 2M+ music lovers trusted Free Your Music to transfer their playlists.

Got a big playlist? Use the desktop app (MacOS, Windows, Linux. It runs in the background, so you don’t need to have it open to complete the transferring process.

If you want a copy of your music data, you can back it up to a file that can be later imported to any music service.

Free Your Music is great in other ways too:

With Free Your Music, you can see your personal music stats all-year round. No need to wait For Spotify Wrapped or Apple Music Replay. See your most-played songs, artists, and albums.

Having two music services or more? You will love the auto-sync feature. Any changes you make in your playlist will be automatically synchronized across music streaming platforms.

In our app, anytime you log into an external music service, you enter your login and password on the external partner site. We don’t see and don’t store any sensitive data. We only store a cookie that we get from the external website. Thanks to this, we can act in your name without ever seeing your passwords. We never share this data, and we only use it in the app to be able to create playlists and add songs to your services.

{competitorName} is a web app, which means any transfer activity is taking place on their servers. With Free Your Music, everything happens on the user device. This ensures that we move your data in the most secure manner.

Free Your Music supports all the most popular music platforms, including Spotify, Apple Music and <a>more</a>.

Free Your Music supports all the most popular music platforms, including Spotify, Apple Music and <link>more</link>. There’s no risk that we will stop supporting certain platforms as in the case of <a>SongShift where users couldn’t migrate out of Spotify.</a>

Free Your Music works in a very simple and easy way. First, click on the music service you want to transfer your playlists from and log into it. Then, select the music platform you want to transfer to and connect your account. Third, pick the playlists you want to move. Confirm the action and your job is done. Let the app transfer all your music collection from one service to another.

Do you want to switch music services? Give Free Your Music a chance. Download the app and transfer 1 playlist of up to {numberOfFreeSongs} songs for free. There’s no obligation to purchase a premium license until you’ve tested Free Your Music and figured it works.

One aspect that makes Free Your Music different from other transfer tools such as {competitorName} is the fact that playlist transfer happens on a user device and not on our servers. Let’s take a look at what that means exactly and why you should choose Free Your Music instead of {competitorName}.

Frequently asked questions

The complete 2026 guide to switching music streaming services. Why people move between Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube Music, Tidal, and more — plus step-by-step migration instructions.

How to switch streaming services in {year} — the complete migration guide

Most popular migrations

Recommendations depend on listening history. Spotify, YouTube Music, and Apple Music each tune their algorithms differently. A switch effectively restarts the recommendation engine — useful if your current Discover Weekly feels stale.

Recommendation quality

Lossless and hi-fi audio are now standard on Apple Music, Amazon Music Unlimited, Tidal, and Qobuz. If your service still ships compressed-only audio, switching is the simplest upgrade.

Audio quality (lossless / hi-fi)

Catalogs differ. Specific artists, indie releases, classical recordings, or DJ mixes may be on one service and not another. SoundCloud and Audiomack carry independent uploads the majors do not.

Catalog and exclusives

Family plans usually pay for themselves with two or more users. Apple One and YouTube Premium bundle music with other services. Pick the bundle that matches what your household already pays for.

Family plan and bundling

Streaming services raise prices every 12–24 months. Switching to a competitor at the introductory rate often saves the cost of premium for several months.

Price increases

Moving country or wanting better regional music? Deezer, Qobuz, and Boomplay each cover regions and genres the majors under-serve. JioSaavn, Zvuk, and VK Music are dominant in their home markets.

Region and language coverage

Why people switch streaming services

Decide based on price, audio quality, catalog, and device support. Most services offer a free trial — test the catalog with a few favorite albums and your usual playlists.

Step 1: pick your destination service

Do not cancel yet. The transfer tool needs to read your old library while it copies to the new one. Cancel after the migration is verified.

Step 2: keep your old subscription active

Install FreeYourMusic on desktop or mobile, sign in to your source service, then sign in to the destination. The app uses each service’s official login — your password is never shared with FreeYourMusic.

Step 3: connect both services in FreeYourMusic

Playlists, liked songs, saved albums, and followed artists are all separate items. Move them all at once or one at a time. Original playlist names and song order are preserved.

Step 4: pick what to transfer

FreeYourMusic shows every track that did not match — usually region exclusives, removed releases, or remixes with different metadata. Replace these manually on the new service or accept them as missing.

Step 5: review unmatched tracks

Once you have verified the destination library, cancel the old subscription. Most services keep your library accessible for the remainder of your paid month — you do not lose anything immediately.

Step 6: cancel the old subscription
