Moving from SoundCloud to YouTube, explained
A lot of what lives on SoundCloud also lives on YouTube — remixes, DJ sets and artist uploads that the mainstream services skip — so moving your SoundCloud library to YouTube keeps much of that spirit while turning your collection into playlists you can watch. FreeYourMusic reads your SoundCloud library through SoundCloud’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 FreeYourMusic, connect both accounts and pick what to move — the detail is below.
What transfers to YouTube, and what does not
Your SoundCloud playlists become YouTube playlists, keeping their names and order, and liked tracks can arrive as playable entries. Move everything or choose playlists individually, with counts shown before you commit.
YouTube’s breadth helps a SoundCloud library, since much independent and remix content exists there as uploads. Still, some private or artist-only SoundCloud tracks have no public YouTube equivalent, and matches can land as official videos, live takes or lyric videos. Anything uncertain is flagged rather than forced.
How FreeYourMusic matches your tracks
Each SoundCloud 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 and duration. Because YouTube hosts so much independent and remix content, coverage for SoundCloud-style material is often surprisingly good.
The same track can exist several times on YouTube, so FreeYourMusic favours official sources and flags anything ambiguous for one-tap Rematch, letting you pick the exact upload you had in mind.
How long does a SoundCloud 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.
FreeYourMusic runs natively on iPhone, iPad, Android, Mac, Windows and Linux, 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.
SoundCloud vs YouTube: what actually changes
Both are free and lean toward off-catalogue material, but they organise it differently. SoundCloud is a music community built on artist uploads with a proper audio library. YouTube is a general video platform where those same remixes and sets often appear as videos among everything else.
Moving to YouTube turns your SoundCloud collection into watchable playlists and taps its enormous pool of uploads. What you leave behind is SoundCloud’s music-focused community and the tracks that only its artists posted there.
Do you need to keep SoundCloud while you transfer?
Yes — keep SoundCloud active until the transfer is finished and checked. FreeYourMusic reads your SoundCloud library while building your YouTube playlists, and keeping both live means you never lose access mid-move.
Both YouTube and SoundCloud are free to use, so nothing needs a paid plan for the move, though YouTube Premium removes ads and adds background play. Both connect through their own official sign-in, and your password is never shared with FreeYourMusic.
Tips for a clean migration
Transfer a representative playlist first and review the matches — YouTube’s breadth usually covers independent content well, but confirming the matched uploads are the right ones is worth the minute. Tidy your playlists beforehand.
When the transfer finishes, run through the Rematch list and swap out any wrong videos. For background listening on mobile, consider YouTube Premium, and save your key playlists for offline viewing.
Keeping SoundCloud and YouTube in sync afterwards
A one-time move is not your only option. If you use both, FreeYourMusic’s Auto-Sync mirrors the libraries on a schedule so a track you like on SoundCloud becomes a new entry in your YouTube playlists where it exists.
And the transfer runs the other way too, from YouTube back to SoundCloud, if you want. Your collection stays portable. Download FreeYourMusic, connect SoundCloud and YouTube, and see how much comes across — the free tier lets you try first.

No, you don’t need a new account. Just connect your existing streaming accounts in the FreeYourMusic app, and you can start your playlist transfer right away.

Absolutely. When you transfer playlists, FreeYourMusic preserves your playlist titles, song order, and even multiple playlists at once.
