Split on YouTube: questions

How can I split the playlist?

By count, by length, by artist, by decade or by genre. You see the new playlists before you create them.

What happens to the original playlist?

Nothing. The original stays as it is. FreeYourMusic makes the new playlists on YouTube.

Does it work on playlists I follow?

Yes. You can split a playlist that you follow. The new playlists are yours.

Is it free?

You can try the tool free and see the preview. Applying the change needs Premium. Your liked songs move free between the services that support it.

What else can FreeYourMusic change on YouTube?

On YouTube, apps may add songs, remove songs, change the order, and rename playlists. Apps may not change the cover, so the tools that need it are not there.

Where can I use it?

In your browser at freeyourmusic.com/app on any computer, on iPhone and iPad, and on Android.
