Quick answer
To transfer Pandora to Qobuz, install FreeYourMusic, select Pandora as the source and Qobuz as the destination, choose the playlists you want, and start the transfer. The app finds each song on Qobuz and lists any track it could not match.

Connect Pandora as the source

- 2
Choose Qobuz as the destination

Select what to move
Tick the playlists you want on Qobuz. Use the filters and the search field to find them, or select everything to move your whole Pandora library at once.

Start the transfer and check the results

Moving from Pandora to Qobuz, explained
Pandora is a radio-first, US-only service, so moving to Qobuz is a leap to full on-demand control and audiophile depth — hi-res FLAC, classical and jazz, editorial booklets and a store to own music. FreeYourMusic reads your Pandora library through Pandora’s official sign-in and recreates the part that carries over inside Qobuz: the playlists you made.
This guide explains what transfers, what cannot, how songs are matched, how long it takes, and how the two services really differ. If you just want to begin, install FreeYourMusic, connect both accounts and pick what to move — the detail is below.
What transfers to Qobuz, and what does not
FreeYourMusic brings across the playlists you built on a Premium plan and recreates them as Qobuz playlists. Thumbs, collected songs and followed artists stay on Pandora and do not transfer. Counts are shown before you commit.
Two limits apply. A Pandora station is a living stream, not a fixed list, so it does not come across; and Qobuz is curated rather than exhaustive, so some mainstream pop Pandora played you may have fewer options there. Anything uncertain is flagged rather than forced.
How FreeYourMusic matches your tracks
Each Pandora track is matched to the same recording in Qobuz, preferring the ISRC code assigned to every recording and falling back to title, artist, album and duration otherwise. Because Qobuz cares about editions and masters, matches are precise when they exist.
Where a track has no exact counterpart, FreeYourMusic flags it for one-tap Rematch rather than dropping it silently, which is especially useful in classical where the same work exists in many recordings.
How long does a Pandora to Qobuz transfer take?
Most transfers finish in minutes. With both accounts connected, around 1,000 tracks usually completes in under ten minutes. Larger libraries take longer, but the transfer runs on its own — start it and come back later.
FreeYourMusic runs natively on iPhone, iPad, Android, Mac, Windows and Linux, so the move is not tied to one machine. Start it on your laptop and check progress on your phone; it is the same account and the same transfer.
Pandora vs Qobuz: what actually changes
This is a shift from casual radio to audiophile on-demand. Pandora seeds genome-tuned stations you steer with thumbs, US-only and easy for background listening. Qobuz gives you full on-demand control plus hi-res FLAC, deep classical and jazz, editorial booklets and the option to own albums, and it works internationally.
Moving to Qobuz hands you exact control and a serious depth-and-sound upgrade. What you leave behind is Pandora’s effortless radio — a real loss if lean-back listening was the appeal, so this move suits committed listeners rather than casual ones.
Do you need to keep Pandora while you transfer?
Yes — keep Pandora active until the transfer is finished and checked. FreeYourMusic reads your Pandora library while copying it into Qobuz, and keeping both live means you never lose access mid-move.
Pandora has a free ad-supported tier in the US, but Qobuz has no permanent free tier, so you will need a Qobuz trial or subscription to receive the transfer. Both connect through their own official sign-in, and your password is never shared with FreeYourMusic.
Tips for a clean migration
Before you move, make sure the songs you care about are in a Pandora playlist, since that is what carries across. Then transfer a few favourite playlists and audition them in Qobuz — confirming the matched masters are what you wanted is worth the minute.
When the transfer finishes, resolve the Rematch list, set Qobuz to hi-res, and build playlists from your imported songs while exploring its editorial booklets.
Keeping Pandora and Qobuz in sync afterwards
A one-time move is not your only option. If you keep Pandora for radio and Qobuz for serious listening, FreeYourMusic’s Auto-Sync mirrors the libraries on a schedule so a song you add to a Pandora playlist appears on Qobuz where it exists.
And the transfer runs the other way too, from Qobuz back to Pandora, if you want your playlists seeding new stations. Your collection stays portable. Download FreeYourMusic, connect Pandora and Qobuz, and see how much comes across — the free tier lets you try first.
