How to transfer playlists from Pandora to Tidal
Four steps. The same on iPhone, Android, Mac, Windows and Linux.
Quick answer
To transfer Pandora to Tidal, install FreeYourMusic, select Pandora as the source and Tidal as the destination, choose the playlists you want, and start the transfer. The app finds each song on Tidal and lists any track it could not match.
- 1
Connect Pandora as the source
Open FreeYourMusic, tap the Pandora tile on the "Select source" screen and sign in on the Pandora sign-in page. FreeYourMusic does not store your Pandora password.
- 2
Choose Tidal as the destination
On the "Select destination" screen, tap Tidal and sign in. FreeYourMusic needs access to your Tidal library to create the playlists there.
- 3
Select what to move
Tick the playlists you want on Tidal. Use the filters and the search field to find them, or select everything to move your whole Pandora library at once.
- 4
Start the transfer and check the results
Tap "Begin transfer". FreeYourMusic matches every song on Tidal, keeps the playlist names and the song order, and shows a confidence score for each match. Use Rematch to fix any song it could not find.
Good to know before you move Pandora to Tidal
Pandora as the source
You need Pandora Premium to see your Pandora playlists. FreeYourMusic moves Pandora playlists only, not likes, albums or artists.

Tidal does not let apps remove or reorder songs in a playlist, so Auto-Sync only adds new songs to Tidal.

On every device
Move, convert or import: one transfer from Pandora to Tidal
Whatever you call it, it is the same job. You can move your Pandora playlists to Tidal, convert a Pandora playlist into a Tidal playlist, or import your Pandora library into Tidal. FreeYourMusic does all three in one transfer, for one playlist or for a library of thousands of songs.

Moving from Pandora to Tidal, explained
Pandora is a radio-first, US-only service, so moving to Tidal is a leap to full on-demand control and audiophile sound — HiRes FLAC, credits and editorial. FreeYourMusic reads your Pandora library through Pandora’s official sign-in and recreates the part that carries over inside Tidal: 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 Tidal, and what does not
FreeYourMusic brings across the playlists you built on a Premium plan and recreates them as Tidal playlists. Thumbs, collected songs and followed artists do not transfer to Tidal. Counts are shown before you commit.
What cannot follow is the radio itself. A Pandora station is a living, genome-shaped stream, not a fixed list, so it does not transfer as a playlist. Start from your transferred playlists to rebuild similar listening on Tidal.
How FreeYourMusic matches your tracks
Each Pandora track is matched to the same recording in Tidal, preferring the ISRC code assigned to every recording and falling back to title, artist, album and duration otherwise. Because Tidal cares about masters, this precision keeps you on the right editions.
The occasional track may lack a perfect counterpart. FreeYourMusic never silently drops it — anything uncertain is flagged for one-tap Rematch, so you keep control over every choice.
How long does a Pandora to Tidal 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 Tidal: what actually changes
This is a shift from casual radio to audiophile on-demand. Pandora is about seeding stations and thumbing tracks, US-only and easy for background listening. Tidal gives you full on-demand control plus HiFi and HiRes FLAC, detailed credits and artist-led editorial, and it works internationally.
Moving to Tidal hands you exact control and a serious sound and record-context upgrade. What you leave behind is Pandora’s effortless, genome-tuned radio — a genuine loss if lean-back listening was the appeal.
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 Tidal, and keeping both live means you never lose access mid-move.
Pandora has a free ad-supported tier in the US, but Tidal has no permanent free tier, so you will need a Tidal 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. Tidy your playlists so they reflect your current taste.
When the transfer finishes, resolve any flagged tracks in the Rematch list, then set Tidal to HiFi or HiRes, build playlists from your imported songs and download your favourites for offline listening.
Keeping Pandora and Tidal in sync afterwards
A one-time move is not your only option. If you keep Pandora for radio and Tidal for sound, FreeYourMusic’s Auto-Sync mirrors the libraries on a schedule so a song you add to a Pandora playlist appears on Tidal without effort.
And the transfer runs the other way too, from Tidal back to Pandora, if you want your playlists seeding new stations. Your collection stays portable. Download FreeYourMusic, connect Pandora and Tidal, and see how much comes across — the free tier lets you try first.
