Limits

  • One SoundCloud playlist holds up to 500 songs. A longer playlist is split into more than one playlist on SoundCloud.
  • SoundCloud does not let apps look songs up by ISRC, the code that identifies a recording. Free Your Music matches by title, artist and album instead. Many SoundCloud tracks exist in more than one version, so check the matches after a transfer and fix a wrong one with Rematch.
  • SoundCloud keeps the song order, see song order.

Frequently asked questions

Why are some SoundCloud tracks missing on Spotify or Apple Music?

Many SoundCloud tracks are uploads, remixes or mixes that exist only on SoundCloud. The new service has no match for them, so they show as not matched. You can export the list, see missing songs.

Can I move albums to SoundCloud?

No. Albums do not move to or from SoundCloud. Playlists, liked tracks and followed artists move as usual.
