How to transfer playlists from Qobuz to YouTube Music
Four steps. The same on iPhone, Android, Mac, Windows and Linux.
Quick answer
To transfer Qobuz to YouTube Music, install FreeYourMusic, select Qobuz as the source and YouTube Music as the destination, choose the playlists you want, and start the transfer. The app finds each song on YouTube Music 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 YouTube Music as the destination
On the "Select destination" screen, tap YouTube Music and sign in. FreeYourMusic needs access to your YouTube Music library to create the playlists there.
- 3
Select what to move
Tick the playlists you want on YouTube Music. 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 YouTube Music, 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 YouTube Music
Whatever you call it, it is the same job. You can move your Qobuz playlists to YouTube Music, convert a Qobuz playlist into a YouTube Music playlist, or import your Qobuz library into YouTube Music. FreeYourMusic does all three in one transfer, for one playlist or for a library of thousands of songs.

Moving from Qobuz to YouTube Music, explained
Moving from Qobuz to YouTube Music is a big change of character — from a curated, hi-res, editorial-driven service to a vast free-and-Premium catalogue that reaches into live cuts, rarities and uploads. FreeYourMusic reads your Qobuz library through Qobuz’s official sign-in and recreates it inside YouTube Music — playlists and favourites.
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 YouTube Music, and what does not
Your playlists move with names and order preserved, and favourites arrive as saved songs. Followed artists stay behind. 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. Classical repertoire can be tricky to match, because YouTube Music’s metadata for performances is looser than Qobuz’s, so the right recording is not always obvious. Anything uncertain is flagged rather than forced.
How FreeYourMusic matches your tracks
Each Qobuz track is matched to the closest recording in YouTube Music, preferring the ISRC code assigned to every recording and falling back to title, artist, album and duration otherwise. For mainstream releases this is reliable; for classical, the same work appears many times, so care is needed.
Because YouTube Music holds many versions of a track, FreeYourMusic flags ambiguous cases for one-tap Rematch, letting you choose the specific performance you moved for rather than a generic upload.
How long does a Qobuz to YouTube Music 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 walk away.
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 follow progress on your phone; it is the same account and the same transfer.
Qobuz vs YouTube Music: what actually changes
The trade is depth and fidelity for reach and price. Qobuz gives you hi-res FLAC, editorial booklets and deep classical and jazz, with no free tier. YouTube Music has a free tier and a huge catalogue reaching into live and rare material, plus personal uploads, but nothing like Qobuz’s audiophile focus.
On experience, you swap curation and sound for breadth and ties to YouTube and Google. If you want a free, all-encompassing catalogue and are willing to give up hi-res, YouTube Music is the reason to move — otherwise you may miss what Qobuz did best.
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 YouTube Music, and keeping both live means you never lose access mid-move. Cancel Qobuz only once you are satisfied.
Qobuz has no permanent free tier, but YouTube Music has a free tier on the receiving side, with Premium adding background and offline play. Both connect through their own official sign-in, and your password is never shared with FreeYourMusic.
Tips for a clean migration
Transfer a few classical or jazz playlists first and check the matches with extra care — because YouTube Music’s performance metadata is looser, this is where mismatches are most likely. Note separately any purchased downloads that will not follow.
When the transfer finishes, work through the Rematch list, using YouTube Music’s personal-uploads feature for anything it lacks. Download your key playlists on Premium for offline listening.
Keeping Qobuz and YouTube Music in sync afterwards
A one-time move is not your only option. If you keep Qobuz for serious listening and YouTube Music for breadth, 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 YouTube Music back to Qobuz, if you change your mind. Your collection stays portable. Download FreeYourMusic, connect Qobuz and YouTube Music, and see how much comes across — the free tier lets you try first.
