How to transfer playlists from Tidal to SoundCloud
Four steps. The same on iPhone, Android, Mac, Windows and Linux.
Quick answer
To transfer Tidal to SoundCloud, install FreeYourMusic, select Tidal as the source and SoundCloud as the destination, choose the playlists you want, and start the transfer. The app finds each song on SoundCloud and lists any track it could not match.
- 1
Connect Tidal as the source
Open FreeYourMusic, tap the Tidal tile on the "Select source" screen and sign in on the Tidal sign-in page. FreeYourMusic does not store your Tidal password.
- 2
Choose SoundCloud as the destination
On the "Select destination" screen, tap SoundCloud and sign in. FreeYourMusic needs access to your SoundCloud library to create the playlists there.
- 3
Select what to move
Tick the playlists you want on SoundCloud. Use the filters and the search field to find them, or select everything to move your whole Tidal library at once.
- 4
Start the transfer and check the results
Tap "Begin transfer". FreeYourMusic matches every song on SoundCloud, 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.

Moving from Tidal to SoundCloud, explained
SoundCloud is home to the music the majors miss — independent uploads, remixes, DJ sets and tracks posted straight by artists. Moving there from Tidal keeps your curated collection while opening up that more open, community-driven world. FreeYourMusic reads your Tidal library through Tidal’s official sign-in and rebuilds your playlists, liked songs and followed artists inside SoundCloud.
This guide covers what transfers, what cannot, how songs are matched, how long it takes, and how the two services really differ. If you just want to start, install FreeYourMusic, connect both accounts and pick what to move — the detail is below.
What transfers to SoundCloud, and what does not
Your playlists move with names and order intact, liked songs arrive as likes, and followed artists come across where SoundCloud has them. Saved albums do not transfer to SoundCloud. Move everything or choose playlists individually, with counts shown before you commit.
Expect a different match rate than a mainstream-to-mainstream move, since SoundCloud is built on independent uploads. Tidal’s My Mixes, editorial and lossless masters do not follow, and podcasts stay behind. In return, SoundCloud holds remixes and edits Tidal does not carry.
How FreeYourMusic matches your tracks
Each Tidal song is matched to the closest recording on SoundCloud, preferring the ISRC code where it exists and falling back to title, artist, album and duration otherwise. For mainstream releases officially on SoundCloud, matching is dependable.
Because so much of SoundCloud is user-uploaded, some studio tracks will not have an official counterpart and some exist only as remixes or re-uploads. FreeYourMusic never silently drops anything — uncertain tracks are flagged for one-tap Rematch, so you decide whether an alternative is close enough.
How long does a Tidal to SoundCloud transfer take?
Most transfers finish in minutes. With both accounts connected, around 1,000 tracks usually completes in under ten minutes, though match-checking on an independent catalogue can add a little time. Larger libraries take longer, but the transfer runs on its own.
FreeYourMusic runs natively on iPhone, iPad, Android, Mac, Windows and Linux, so the move is not tied to one device. Start it on your laptop and follow along on your phone; it is the same account and the same transfer.
Tidal vs SoundCloud: what actually changes
These services solve different problems. Tidal is the audiophile mainstream — HiRes FLAC, credits and editorial. SoundCloud is the open frontier: unsigned artists, remixes, DJ mixes and community around uploads, with a free tier to explore it. Many people keep both because each covers the other’s gap.
The practical difference is coverage and sound. For major-label albums in top quality, Tidal wins; for edits, bootlegs, upcoming producers and artist-posted tracks, SoundCloud is unmatched. Moving your Tidal library over gives you a familiar base inside that more adventurous space.
Do you need to keep Tidal while you transfer?
Yes — keep Tidal active until the transfer is finished and checked. FreeYourMusic reads your Tidal library while copying it into SoundCloud, and keeping both live means you never lose access mid-move. Cancel Tidal only once you are satisfied.
SoundCloud has a free tier, so you can receive a transfer without paying, while its paid tiers add offline listening and remove ads. Both services connect through their own official sign-in, and your password is never shared with FreeYourMusic.
Tips for a clean migration
Because SoundCloud coverage varies by track, transfer a representative playlist first and review the matches before moving everything — it sets realistic expectations for how much of your mainstream library has an official presence there. Tidy your Tidal playlists beforehand.
When the transfer finishes, spend a little longer on the Rematch list; on an independent catalogue, a good alternative upload is often a tap away. Then explore the remixes and edits of your favourite tracks — that is the reason SoundCloud is worth having.
Keeping Tidal and SoundCloud in sync afterwards
A one-time move is not your only option. Since many listeners keep both, FreeYourMusic’s Auto-Sync mirrors the libraries on a schedule so a song you save on Tidal shows up on SoundCloud where it exists there.
And the transfer runs the other way too, from SoundCloud back to Tidal, if you want to bring discoveries home. Your library stays portable. Download FreeYourMusic, connect Tidal and SoundCloud, and see how much comes across — the free tier lets you try first.
