How to transfer playlists from Tidal to Spotify
Four steps. The same on iPhone, Android, Mac, Windows and Linux.
Quick answer
To transfer Tidal to Spotify, install FreeYourMusic, select Tidal as the source and Spotify as the destination, choose the playlists you want, and start the transfer. The app finds each song on Spotify 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 Spotify as the destination
On the "Select destination" screen, tap Spotify and sign in. FreeYourMusic needs access to your Spotify library to create the playlists there.
- 3
Select what to move
Tick the playlists you want on Spotify. 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 Spotify, 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 Tidal to Spotify
Tidal as the source
Playlists, favourite tracks, saved albums and followed artists can all move from Tidal.

A free Spotify account can receive your music. Spotify searches by ISRC code, so songs from a service that provides ISRC codes match very precisely.
Read the Spotify guide →Spotify has a built-in import. Here is how FreeYourMusic is different.
The Spotify mobile app can import playlists from Tidal: open Your Library and tap Import your music. A partner service runs the import, and it moves music into Spotify only.
| Built-in Spotify import | FreeYourMusic | |
|---|---|---|
| Where your music can go | Spotify only | Spotify and 15 other services |
| Move between two Spotify accounts | No | Yes |
| Keep playlists in sync after the move | No, one-time import | Yes, with Auto-Sync (Premium) |
| Back up your library | No | Yes, with Cloud Backup (Premium) |
| Move away from Spotify later | No | Yes, in any direction |
For a quick one-time move, the built-in import can be enough. Use FreeYourMusic to keep services in sync, move between accounts, back up your library, or leave Spotify later.
What transfers from Tidal to Spotify
On every device
Move, convert or import: one transfer from Tidal to Spotify
Whatever you call it, it is the same job. You can move your Tidal playlists to Spotify, convert a Tidal playlist into a Spotify playlist, or import your Tidal library into Spotify. FreeYourMusic does all three in one transfer, for one playlist or for a library of thousands of songs.

Moving from Tidal to Spotify, explained
People leave Tidal for Spotify when they want the free tier, the friends already on it, or the recommendation engine that lands Discover Weekly in the queue every Monday. Whatever the reason, you should not have to rebuild years of playlists by hand. FreeYourMusic reads your Tidal library through Tidal’s official sign-in and recreates it inside Spotify — playlists, liked songs, saved albums and followed artists.
This guide covers what a transfer moves, what cannot come along, how songs are matched, how long it takes, and an honest Tidal versus Spotify comparison. If you just want to start, install FreeYourMusic, connect both accounts and choose what to move — the detail is below.
What transfers to Spotify, and what does not
Your playlists move with their names and order preserved, liked songs arrive as saved tracks, saved albums come across and followed artists carry over. Move everything at once or pick playlists individually, with counts shown before you commit.
A few things stay behind. Tidal’s My Mixes and editorial picks are Tidal features rather than portable playlists, so they copy only as a snapshot of their current tracks. The credits and liner-note context Tidal is known for do not carry into Spotify, and podcasts do not cross over.
How FreeYourMusic matches your tracks
Each Tidal song is matched to the same recording in Spotify, preferring the ISRC code the industry assigns to every recording and falling back to title, artist, album and duration when it is missing. That is how a large library lands with the right versions rather than substitutes.
Because Tidal often carries specific masters, the occasional hi-res edition may map to a standard version in Spotify. FreeYourMusic never silently drops a track — anything uncertain is flagged for one-tap Rematch with suggestions, so you decide on every substitution.
How long does a Tidal to Spotify 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 get on with your day.
FreeYourMusic runs natively on iPhone, iPad, Android, Mac, Windows and Linux, so the move is not tied to one machine. Start it on your laptop and follow progress on your phone; it is the same account and the same transfer.
Tidal vs Spotify: what actually changes
This is a case of trading fidelity for reach. Tidal streams HiFi and HiRes FLAC and surrounds tracks with credits and editorial; Spotify streams compressed by default, so on pure sound you are stepping down.
What you gain is Spotify’s ecosystem: a genuine free ad-supported tier, Discover Weekly and Release Radar, collaborative playlists and Spotify Connect across devices, plus Wrapped each year. If your music life is social and playlist-driven rather than audiophile, Spotify’s pull is clear.
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 Spotify, and keeping both live means you never lose access mid-move. Cancel Tidal only once you are satisfied.
Because Tidal has no permanent free tier, keeping it running for the move costs a little, but Spotify has a free tier on the receiving side, so you can land the transfer without paying right away. Both services connect through their own official sign-in, and your password is never shared with FreeYourMusic.
Tips for a clean migration
Tidy your Tidal playlists first so you carry only what you actually play. Transfer a couple of favourites and check them in Spotify before moving the rest — it is the fastest way to trust the match quality.
When the transfer finishes, resolve any flagged tracks in the Rematch list, then let Discover Weekly and Release Radar build up by playing your new library for a while. Download your key playlists for offline listening.
Keeping Tidal and Spotify in sync afterwards
A one-time move is not your only option. If you keep Tidal for serious listening and try Spotify alongside, FreeYourMusic’s Auto-Sync mirrors the two libraries on a schedule so a save on one appears on the other without effort.
And the transfer runs the other way too, from Spotify back to Tidal, if you change your mind. Your library stays portable. Download FreeYourMusic, connect Tidal and Spotify, and see how much comes across — the free tier lets you try first.
Frequently asked questions

No. FreeYourMusic copies your music to Spotify and leaves your Tidal library as it is. You decide later whether to keep or cancel your Tidal account.
