How to transfer playlists from Qobuz to Spotify
Four steps. The same on iPhone, Android, Mac, Windows and Linux.
Quick answer
To transfer Qobuz to Spotify, install Free Your Music, select Qobuz as the source and Spotify as the destination, choose the playlists you want, and start the transfer. The app finds each song on Spotify and lists any track it could not match.

Connect Qobuz as the source

- 2
Choose Spotify as the destination
On the "Select destination" screen, tap Spotify and sign in. Free Your Music needs access to your Spotify library to create the playlists there.

- 4

Move, convert or import: one transfer from Qobuz to Spotify
Whatever you call it, it is the same job. You can move your Qobuz playlists to Spotify, convert a Qobuz playlist into a Spotify playlist, or import your Qobuz library into Spotify. Free Your Music does all three in one transfer, for one playlist or for a library of thousands of songs.

Moving from Qobuz to Spotify, explained
Leaving Qobuz for Spotify usually means trading pristine audio for a free tier, friends already on the platform and the recommendation engine everyone talks about. Whatever the reason, you should not have to rebuild a carefully assembled library by hand. Free Your Music reads your Qobuz library through Qobuz’s official sign-in and recreates it inside Spotify — playlists, favourites and followed artists.
This guide covers what a transfer moves, what cannot come along, how songs are matched, how long it takes, and an honest Qobuz versus Spotify comparison. If you just want to start, install Free Your Music, connect both accounts and choose what to move — the detail is below.
What transfers to Spotify, and what does not
Your playlists move with their names and order preserved, favourites arrive as saved songs and followed artists carry over. Move everything or pick playlists individually, with counts shown before you commit.
A couple of things to note. Any albums you purchased and downloaded from the Qobuz store are owned files, not part of a streaming library, so they are not matched by a streaming-to-streaming transfer. Qobuz’s editorial booklets are unique to Qobuz, and a few audiophile reissues may map to a standard version in Spotify.
How Free Your Music matches your tracks
Each Qobuz track is matched to the same recording in Spotify, preferring the ISRC code the industry assigns to every recording and falling back to title, artist, album and duration when it is missing. That precision matters most for classical, where the same work exists in many recordings.
Where a specific master or reissue has no exact Spotify counterpart, Free Your Music never silently drops it — anything uncertain is flagged for one-tap Rematch with suggestions, so you can confirm the right performance rather than accept a random one.
How long does a Qobuz to Spotify 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 get on with your day.
Free Your Music runs on iPhone, iPad and Android, and in the browser on any Mac, Windows or Linux computer, so the move is not tied to one machine. Start it on your laptop and follow progress on your phone; it is the same account and the same transfer.
Qobuz vs Spotify: what actually changes
This is a clear trade of fidelity and depth for reach. Qobuz gives you hi-res FLAC, deep classical and jazz catalogues and editorial booklets; Spotify streams compressed by default, so on sound and liner-note context you are stepping down.
What you gain is Spotify’s ecosystem — a free ad-supported tier, Discover Weekly and Release Radar, collaborative playlists and Spotify Connect. If convenience, social features and discovery matter more than audiophile quality, Spotify is why people make this switch.
Do you need to keep Qobuz while you transfer?
Yes — keep Qobuz active until the transfer is finished and checked. Free Your Music reads your Qobuz library while copying it into Spotify, and keeping both live means you never lose access mid-move. Cancel Qobuz only once you are satisfied.
Because Qobuz has no permanent free tier, keeping it running for the move costs a little, but Spotify has a free tier on the receiving side, so you can land the transfer without paying right away. Both connect through their own official sign-in, and your password is never shared with Free Your Music.
Tips for a clean migration
Transfer a few classical or jazz playlists first and check the matches carefully in Spotify — because those genres hinge on the exact recording, an early review is worth the minute. Note separately any purchased downloads that will not follow. Tidy your playlists beforehand.
When the transfer finishes, resolve the Rematch list, paying attention to performances and reissues. Then let Discover Weekly build up and download your key playlists for offline listening.
Keeping Qobuz and Spotify in sync afterwards
A one-time move is not your only option. If you keep Qobuz for serious listening and use Spotify for everyday convenience, Free Your Music’s Auto-Sync mirrors the libraries on a schedule so a save on one appears on the other without effort.
And the transfer runs the other way too, from Spotify back to Qobuz, if you change your mind. Your collection stays portable. Download Free Your Music, connect Qobuz and Spotify, and see how much comes across — transfers are free up to 10,000 songs, and Pro has no song limit.
