Leaving Pandora? Take your music with you
Last updated for 2026
Moving away from Pandora? FreeYourMusic no longer supports Pandora, so it cannot move your Pandora playlists. You can still take your music with you: Spotify can import Pandora playlists itself, and the steps below work for every other service.
Where to move from Pandora
Spotify
Best for personalized discovery and cross-device sync. A free tier with ads, paid Premium and family plans, and a deep recommendation algorithm.
Apple Music
Best for Apple device owners. Lossless and Dolby Atmos at no extra cost, deep integration with the Music app on iPhone, Mac, and HomePod.
Amazon Music
Best for Echo and Alexa households. Included free with Prime at a smaller catalog, or Unlimited for the full catalog plus HD/Ultra HD audio.
YouTube Music
Best for music videos and live recordings. Bundled with YouTube Premium so you also get ad-free YouTube. Strong on B-sides, covers, and live performances.
How to take your Pandora music with you
Moving to Spotify? Open the Spotify mobile app, go to Your Library and tap Import your music. It can import playlists from Pandora.
Moving to another service? Open each Pandora playlist and write down the songs you want to keep, or take screenshots.
Add the songs of your stations and your thumbs-up list too. The stations themselves cannot move.
On the new service, search for each song and add it to a new playlist.
Check the new library, then cancel your Pandora subscription.
Frequently asked questions
Can FreeYourMusic still move my Pandora playlists?
No. FreeYourMusic no longer supports Pandora. The FreeYourMusic apps cannot read or change your Pandora playlists, stations or thumbs.
Where should I move my Pandora library?
Most Pandora users move to Spotify, Apple Music, Amazon Music, or YouTube Music. Pick by price, audio quality, and which devices you use most. If you have an Amazon Echo, Amazon Music is the natural fit. For lossless on Apple devices, Apple Music. For cross-platform with the best playlist algorithm, Spotify.
Will my Pandora stations work on the new service?
No. Pandora makes the stations, and no other service can import them. To keep their songs, add them to a Pandora playlist or write them down. On the new service, start a radio from a song or an artist: Spotify, Apple Music and YouTube Music all offer one.
Do my thumbs-up tracks transfer?
Not with FreeYourMusic. Add the songs to one of your Pandora playlists. Then import that playlist with the Spotify import tool, or add the songs on the new service by hand.
Do I need to cancel Pandora first?
No. Keep your Pandora account until your music is on the new service and you checked it. Then cancel Pandora.
What can FreeYourMusic do for me after I leave Pandora?
When your music is on your new service, FreeYourMusic can move it to another service later. Every transfer is free: playlists, liked songs, albums and artists. Premium keeps your playlists in sync and adds the playlist tools.
