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

Moving from Qobuz to YouTube, explained
Moving from Qobuz to YouTube is a striking change — from a curated hi-res library to a free video platform where your music plays as videos and live performances. It makes sense if you want your collection watchable and free, accepting a drop in audio quality. Free Your Music reads your Qobuz library through Qobuz’s official sign-in and recreates it on YouTube as matched videos and tracks.
This guide explains what transfers, what cannot, how songs are matched, how long it takes, and how the two really differ. If you just want to begin, install Free Your Music, connect both accounts and pick what to move — the detail is below.
What transfers to YouTube, and what does not
Your Qobuz playlists become YouTube playlists, keeping their names and order. Favourites do not carry over to YouTube. Move all your playlists or choose playlists individually, with counts shown before you commit.
Some things do not translate. Albums purchased from the Qobuz store are owned files with no YouTube equivalent, editorial booklets are unique to Qobuz, and classical performances are hard to pin down among YouTube’s many uploads. Because YouTube is video-first, some tracks appear as official art-track videos.
How Free Your Music matches your tracks
Each Qobuz track is matched to the closest corresponding video or track on YouTube, preferring a recording code such as ISRC where present and otherwise comparing title, artist, album and duration. For mainstream releases this works; classical repertoire needs more care given YouTube’s loose metadata.
The same work can exist many times on YouTube, so Free Your Music favours official sources and flags anything ambiguous for one-tap Rematch, letting you pick the exact performance or video you had in mind.
How long does a Qobuz to YouTube 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 device. Start it on your laptop and check progress on your phone; it is the same account and the same transfer.
Qobuz vs YouTube: what actually changes
This is a shift from a premium audiophile library to a free video platform. Qobuz gives you hi-res FLAC, editorial booklets and a purchase store. YouTube gives you music as videos and live performances, free with ads, mixed in with everything else you watch.
What you give up is nearly everything Qobuz specialised in — sound quality, curation and ownership. What you gain is the video itself, live footage and zero cost. It is a move for people who mostly want to watch and are willing to trade fidelity to do it.
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 building your YouTube playlists, and keeping both live means you never lose access mid-move. Cancel Qobuz only once you are satisfied.
YouTube is free, so nothing needs paying to receive the transfer, though YouTube Premium removes ads and adds background play. 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 playlists first and check the matches on YouTube — because it is video-first and classical metadata is loose, confirming you got the right performances rather than random uploads matters here more than usual.
When the transfer finishes, work through the Rematch list and swap out wrong videos. Note any purchased downloads that will not follow, and consider Premium for background listening on mobile.
Keeping Qobuz and YouTube in sync afterwards
A one-time move is not your only option. If you use both, Free Your Music’s Auto-Sync mirrors the libraries on a schedule so a Qobuz playlist addition becomes a new entry in your YouTube playlists where it exists.
And the transfer runs the other way too, from YouTube back to Qobuz, if you want your collection back in hi-res. Your library stays portable. Download Free Your Music, connect Qobuz and YouTube, and see how much comes across — transfers are free up to 10,000 songs, and Pro has no song limit.
