Your first transfer takes three choices: the service you are leaving, the service you are moving to, and the music you want to move. You need an account on both services and a free Free Your Music account.
Before you start
- Install Free Your Music on your phone, or open the web app on your computer. See How to install or update the app.
- Sign in with your Free Your Music account, or create one with an email code, Apple or Google.
- Have the sign-in details for both music services at hand.
- Transfers are free up to 10,000 songs in total: playlists, liked songs, albums and artists, with no card. Pro has no song limit.
Move your playlists
Your first transfer with Free Your Music
- Open a new transfer. Open Transfers and start a New transfer.
- Pick the source. Under "Where is your music now?", choose the service you are leaving. If it is not connected yet, choose "Connect a service".
- Sign in to the source. Sign in on the service page that opens. In the web app, the sign-in opens in a new window: finish there, and do not close it until you are back.
- Pick the destination. Under "Where should it go?", choose the service you are moving to, and sign in to it the same way.
- Choose what to move. Pick the playlists and collections you want. "Everything" takes your playlists, liked songs, albums and artists at once. Your liked songs, albums and artists are under "Your collections", and the playlists of others under "Followed playlists".
- Start the transfer. Check the summary and choose "Start transfer". Nothing moves before that.
- Watch it run, or close the app. The transfer runs on our servers. The transfer page lists every song with its status, such as "Matched" or "Could not match".
How many playlists can I move at once?
One transfer takes up to 200 playlists. If you pick more, Free Your Music tells you that is the most one transfer can take. Start those first, then start a second transfer for the rest.
Why are some playlists missing from the list?
Some playlists belong to the music service itself, for example the editorial playlists made by Spotify. They cannot be transferred. To keep the songs, add them to a playlist of your own on the old service first, then move that playlist.
What can and cannot be transferred lists everything that moves and everything that does not.
What if songs are missing?
Open the transfer. Songs that show "Could not match" are not on the new service, and "Check songs" takes you through the matches Free Your Music is not sure about. You can fix any of them with "Use this match", for free.
See Fix a wrong match with Rematch and Missing songs and export.
Frequently asked questions
Can I pick the same account as the source and the destination?
No. The account you picked as the source shows "Already the source". Choose another account or another service.
I closed the sign-in window by mistake. What now?
Pick the service again and sign in once more. Keep the window open until Free Your Music shows that you are connected. If your browser blocked the window, allow pop-ups for freeyourmusic.com, or choose "Continue in this tab".
Will my old playlists be changed?
No. Free Your Music only reads the service you are leaving. Your old playlists stay as they are.
Do I need Pro to move a playlist?
No. Every one-time transfer is free, playlists too. Pro keeps your playlists in sync and adds the playlist tools. See What is free and what Pro adds.
