Napster closed its music streaming service in January 2026 and moved on to AI products (Digital Music News, Music Ally). There is no Napster account left to read, so Napster is no longer in the Free Your Music app.
If you saved a Napster playlist export (a .txt file) before the closure, you can still move it. The Free Your Music web app reads the .txt file as it is, so you need no converter any more. The import of a file needs Pro. The Napster converter page now shows the same steps.
How do I move a saved Napster playlist?
Move a saved Napster playlist
- Find the Napster export file (a .txt file) you saved before the closure.
- Open the web app at freeyourmusic.com/app/library/import. In Library, the same page opens from the add menu: Import playlists from a file.
- Drop the file on the page, or choose Choose a file. We read it and find your playlists. Each "Playlist:" line of the file starts a new playlist.
- Check the playlists. Untick the ones you do not want. A file with one playlist gets the file name, which you can change.
- Choose Transfer to pick the service you move to and start, or Save to Library to keep the playlists for later.
A file can be up to 20 MB and hold up to 100,000 songs. The import works for any CSV or Excel file too. See File Backup: export and import CSV and Excel files.
Frequently asked questions
Can I still add my Napster account to Free Your Music?
No. Napster closed its streaming service in January 2026, so there is no account to sign in with. A playlist export saved before then still moves: upload the .txt file in the web app.
I converted my file to Excel with the old converter. Does that file still work?
Yes. The Excel (XLSX) file of the old converter has Title, Artists and Album columns, and the import finds them by itself. Upload it the same way.
I never saved an export. Can I get my Napster playlists back?
Free Your Music cannot reach Napster any more, so it cannot recover playlists that were never exported. If you remember the songs, type them into a spreadsheet with a Title and an Artist column, save it as CSV or XLSX and import it in the web app.
Does the import cost anything?
Yes. The import of a file, and the transfer from it, need Pro. See what is free.
Can I keep a file playlist in sync?
No. A file does not change, so it does not sync. To move new songs, import a new file.
