  2. Connect the destination service (Spotify, Apple Music, Amazon Music, or YouTube Music).
  3. Select what to move — thumbs-up tracks, stations, playlists, or everything.

  5. Verify the new library, then cancel your Pandora subscription.

Frequently asked questions

What can I transfer from Pandora to another service?

FreeYourMusic moves your thumbs-up tracks, saved stations, and any playlists you created. Pandora-style auto-generated stations rebuild on the new service from the seed tracks.

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?

Pandora stations are based on the Music Genome Project — they do not transfer 1:1. FreeYourMusic exports your stations as playlists or seed-track collections so you can rebuild a similar radio experience on the new service. Spotify Radio, Apple Music stations, and YouTube Music radio all spin from a seed track.

Do thumbs-up tracks transfer as liked songs?

Yes — FreeYourMusic maps your thumbs-up tracks to the new service’s "liked" or "loved" library. Songs unavailable on the destination service are reported so you can replace them.

Do I need to cancel Pandora first?

No. Keep your Pandora subscription active during the transfer so FreeYourMusic can read your stations and thumbs-up tracks. Once everything is verified on the new service, cancel Pandora.

Is the transfer free?

FreeYourMusic has a free tier that handles small libraries. For unlimited transfers across all your playlists and stations, FreeYourMusic Premium is a one-time purchase.
