How to transfer playlists from Spotify to Qobuz
Four steps. The same on iPhone, Android, Mac, Windows and Linux.
Quick answer
To transfer Spotify to Qobuz, install FreeYourMusic, select Spotify as the source and Qobuz as the destination, choose the playlists you want, and start the transfer. The app finds each song on Qobuz and lists any track it could not match.
- 1
Connect Spotify as the source
Open FreeYourMusic, tap the Spotify tile on the "Select source" screen and sign in on the Spotify sign-in page. FreeYourMusic does not store your Spotify password.
- 2
Choose Qobuz as the destination
On the "Select destination" screen, tap Qobuz and sign in. FreeYourMusic needs access to your Qobuz library to create the playlists there.
- 3
Select what to move
Tick the playlists you want on Qobuz. Use the filters and the search field to find them, or select everything to move your whole Spotify library at once.
- 4
Start the transfer and check the results
Tap "Begin transfer". FreeYourMusic matches every song on Qobuz, keeps the playlist names and the song order, and shows a confidence score for each match. Use Rematch to fix any song it could not find.
Good to know before you move Spotify to Qobuz
Spotify as the source
A free Spotify account is enough. Spotify does not let apps read the playlists it makes for you, such as personalised mixes: copy their songs into your own playlist first.

One Qobuz playlist holds at most 1,000 songs from a transfer. FreeYourMusic cannot add songs to your Qobuz favourite tracks.

Move, convert or import: one transfer from Spotify to Qobuz
Whatever you call it, it is the same job. You can move your Spotify playlists to Qobuz, convert a Spotify playlist into a Qobuz playlist, or import your Spotify library into Qobuz. FreeYourMusic does all three in one transfer, for one playlist or for a library of thousands of songs.

Moving from Spotify to Qobuz, explained
Qobuz is the audiophile’s streaming service, built around hi-res FLAC, unusual depth in classical and jazz, and editorial booklets that read like proper liner notes — it even runs a purchase store for owning music outright. Moving from Spotify is a step up in fidelity and curation. FreeYourMusic reads your Spotify library through Spotify’s official sign-in and rebuilds your playlists, saved albums and followed artists inside Qobuz.
This guide explains what transfers, what cannot, how track matching keeps your versions right, how long it takes, and how the two services genuinely compare. If you just want to begin, install FreeYourMusic, connect both accounts and choose what to move — the detail is below for when you want it.
What transfers to Qobuz, and what does not
Your playlists move with their names and order preserved, saved albums come across and followed artists carry over. Liked songs do not transfer into Qobuz. Move everything at once or pick playlists individually, with track counts shown before you commit.
A few Spotify features cannot follow. Discover Weekly and Release Radar are algorithmic and Spotify-only, so they copy as a snapshot. Podcasts stay behind, and local uploads are not part of a streaming catalogue. Qobuz’s catalogue is deep but curated more than exhaustive, so some mainstream pop or regional tracks may have fewer options than on Spotify.
How FreeYourMusic matches your tracks
Each Spotify song is matched to the same recording in Qobuz, preferring the ISRC code assigned to every recording and falling back to title, artist, album and duration otherwise. Because Qobuz cares about editions and masters, this precision matters — you want the right recording, not a stray compilation cut.
Where a track has no exact counterpart — a rarity, a regional exclusive — FreeYourMusic flags it for one-tap Rematch rather than dropping it silently. That is especially useful in classical, where the same work exists in many recordings and picking the right performance is the whole point.
How long does a Spotify to Qobuz transfer take?
Most transfers finish in minutes. With both accounts connected, around 1,000 tracks usually completes in under ten minutes. Larger libraries take longer, but the transfer runs on its own — start it and come back later.
FreeYourMusic runs natively on iPhone, iPad, Android, Mac, Windows and Linux, so the Spotify to Qobuz move is not tied to one machine. Start on your desktop and check progress on your phone; it is the same account and the same transfer.
Spotify vs Qobuz: what actually changes
This is a fidelity-and-depth upgrade. Where Spotify streams compressed audio by default, Qobuz delivers hi-res FLAC, and its classical and jazz catalogues, editorial booklets and album context outclass Spotify for serious listeners. If you buy hi-fi gear and read about the records you love, Qobuz feels tailor-made.
The trade-offs: you leave Spotify’s Discover Weekly, Wrapped, collaborative playlists and its vast free ecosystem. Qobuz is more of a curated library and store than a social, algorithm-driven app. For pop-chart convenience Spotify still leads; for sound quality and editorial, Qobuz is the reason people switch.
Do you need to keep Spotify while you transfer?
Yes — keep Spotify active until the transfer is finished and checked. FreeYourMusic reads your Spotify library while copying it into Qobuz, and keeping both live means you never lose access mid-move. Cancel Spotify only once you are satisfied.
Note that Qobuz has no permanent free tier, so you will need a Qobuz trial or subscription to receive the transfer. Both services connect through their own official sign-in, and your password is never shared with FreeYourMusic in either direction.
Tips for a clean migration
Move a few favourite albums first and audition them in Qobuz — since you are switching for sound, it is worth confirming the matched masters and hi-res editions are what you wanted before transferring everything. Tidy your Spotify playlists beforehand so you carry only what matters.
When the transfer finishes, resolve the Rematch list carefully, paying special attention to classical works where the exact performance counts. Then set your Qobuz streaming quality to hi-res in settings and download your core albums so you actually hear the difference offline.
Keeping Spotify and Qobuz in sync afterwards
A one-time move is not the only path. If you keep Spotify for casual listening and Qobuz for serious sessions, FreeYourMusic’s Auto-Sync mirrors the libraries, pushing new playlist additions across on a schedule so a track you add on one turns up on the other.
And the transfer runs the other way too, from Qobuz back to Spotify, if you ever want to. Your library stays portable. Download FreeYourMusic, connect Spotify and Qobuz, and see how much of your collection comes across — the free tier lets you try before you upgrade.
