How to transfer playlists from Qobuz to Tidal
Four steps. The same on iPhone, Android, Mac, Windows and Linux.
Quick answer
To transfer Qobuz to Tidal, install FreeYourMusic, select Qobuz 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 Qobuz as the source
Open FreeYourMusic, tap the Qobuz tile on the "Select source" screen and sign in on the Qobuz sign-in page. FreeYourMusic does not store your Qobuz 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 Qobuz 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.

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

Moving from Qobuz to Tidal, explained
This is a move between two audiophile services, so it is about a shift in character rather than gaining fidelity. Both stream hi-res FLAC; Qobuz leans into classical and jazz depth, editorial booklets and a purchase store, while Tidal leans into artist-focused credits and mainstream editorial. FreeYourMusic reads your Qobuz library through Qobuz’s official sign-in and recreates it inside Tidal — playlists, favourites and followed artists.
This guide covers what transfers, what cannot, how songs are matched, how long it takes, and the nuanced Qobuz-versus-Tidal comparison that matters to serious listeners. If you just want to start, install FreeYourMusic, connect both accounts and pick what to move — the detail is below.
What transfers to Tidal, and what does not
Your playlists move with names and order preserved, favourites arrive as favourites and followed artists carry over. Move everything or choose playlists individually, with counts shown before you commit.
A few things to note. Albums purchased from the Qobuz store are owned files, not streaming tracks, so they are not part of a streaming transfer. Both services are curated rather than exhaustive, so a deep classical reissue on Qobuz may occasionally lack a Tidal equivalent — more so than in mainstream repertoire.
How FreeYourMusic matches your tracks
Each Qobuz 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 both services obsess over editions and masters, this precision is essential — you want the exact performance, not a stray compilation cut.
Where a track has no exact counterpart, FreeYourMusic flags it for one-tap Rematch rather than dropping it silently. That matters most in the classical repertoire where Qobuz is especially deep and Tidal’s coverage may be thinner.
How long does a Qobuz 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.
Qobuz vs Tidal: what actually changes
Since both deliver hi-res FLAC, the sound is comparable — the difference is emphasis. Qobuz is built around classical and jazz depth, long-form editorial booklets and the option to buy and own albums. Tidal is built around artist-focused editorial, detailed credits and a broad mainstream catalogue.
For a serious listener the choice comes down to repertoire and reading. If your library is rich in classical or jazz and you value booklets and ownership, you may find Tidal shallower in places; if it is broad and pop-leaning, Tidal’s emphasis may suit better. Moving costs only a few minutes to compare.
Do you need to keep Qobuz while you transfer?
Yes — keep Qobuz active until the transfer is finished and checked. FreeYourMusic reads your Qobuz library while copying it into Tidal, and keeping both live means you never lose access mid-move. Cancel Qobuz only once you are satisfied.
Neither service has a permanent free tier, so you will need a Tidal trial or subscription to receive the transfer while Qobuz stays active for the move. Both connect through their own official sign-in, and your password is never shared with FreeYourMusic.
Tips for a clean migration
Move a few favourite albums first and audition them in Tidal — since both are hi-res, focus your check on whether the matched editions and performances are the exact ones you wanted, especially for classical and reissues. Note any purchased downloads that will not follow.
When the transfer finishes, resolve the Rematch list carefully, then set Tidal to HiFi or HiRes and confirm your deepest classical playlists survived the move as you intended.
Keeping Qobuz and Tidal in sync afterwards
A one-time move is not your only option. Some audiophiles keep both — Qobuz for depth, Tidal for mainstream editorial — and FreeYourMusic’s Auto-Sync mirrors the libraries on a schedule so a save on one turns up on the other.
And the transfer runs the other way too, from Tidal back to Qobuz, if you ever want to. Your collection stays portable. Download FreeYourMusic, connect Qobuz and Tidal, and see how much comes across — the free tier lets you try first.
