Moving from Spotify to SoundCloud, explained
SoundCloud is where the music the majors miss tends to live — independent uploads, remixes, DJ sets, early demos and tracks straight from artists themselves. Moving there from Spotify means keeping the mainstream collection you know while stepping into a far more open, community-driven catalogue. FreeYourMusic reads your Spotify library through Spotify’s official sign-in and rebuilds your playlists, liked songs, saved albums and followed artists inside SoundCloud.
This guide covers what transfers, what cannot, how songs are matched, how long it takes, and how the two services really differ. If you just want to get moving, install FreeYourMusic, connect both accounts and pick what to transfer — the rest is here for the detail.
What transfers to SoundCloud, and what does not
Your playlists move with their names and order intact, your liked songs arrive as likes, and your saved albums and followed artists come across where SoundCloud has them. Move everything or choose playlists one by one, with counts shown before you commit.
Expect a different match rate than a mainstream-to-mainstream move, because SoundCloud’s catalogue is built on independent uploads rather than label distribution. Spotify’s Discover Weekly and Release Radar copy only as a snapshot, podcasts stay behind, and local Spotify uploads have no streaming equivalent. On the flip side, SoundCloud holds remixes and edits Spotify simply does not carry.
How FreeYourMusic matches your tracks
Each Spotify song is matched to the closest recording on SoundCloud, preferring the ISRC code where it exists and falling back to title, artist, album and duration otherwise. For mainstream releases that are officially on SoundCloud, matching is dependable.
Because so much of SoundCloud is user-uploaded, some studio tracks will not have an official counterpart, and some will exist only as remixes or re-uploads. FreeYourMusic never silently drops anything — uncertain tracks are flagged for one-tap Rematch with suggestions, so you decide whether an alternative upload is close enough.
How long does a Spotify to SoundCloud transfer take?
Most transfers finish in minutes. With both accounts connected, around 1,000 tracks usually completes in under ten minutes, though match-checking on an independent catalogue can add a little time. Larger libraries take longer, but the transfer runs on its own.
FreeYourMusic runs natively on iPhone, iPad, Android, Mac, Windows and Linux, so you are not tied to one device. Start the Spotify to SoundCloud move on your desktop and follow along on your phone; it is the same account and the same transfer.
Spotify vs SoundCloud: what actually changes
These services solve different problems. Spotify is the polished mainstream — huge catalogue, Discover Weekly, Wrapped and slick recommendations. SoundCloud is the open frontier: unsigned artists, remixes, DJ mixes and community around uploads, with a free ad-supported tier to explore it. Many people keep both because each covers a gap the other leaves.
The practical difference is coverage. For chart hits and major-label albums, Spotify wins on completeness; for edits, bootlegs, upcoming producers and tracks posted straight by the artist, SoundCloud is unmatched. Moving your Spotify library over gives you a familiar base inside that more adventurous world.
Do you need to keep Spotify while you transfer?
Yes — keep Spotify active until the transfer is finished and checked. FreeYourMusic reads your Spotify library while copying it into SoundCloud, and keeping both live means you never lose access mid-move. Cancel Spotify only once you are happy.
SoundCloud has a free tier, so you can receive a transfer without paying, while its paid tiers add offline listening and remove ads. Both services connect through their own official sign-in, and your password is never shared with FreeYourMusic.
Tips for a clean migration
Because SoundCloud coverage varies by track, transfer a representative playlist first and review the matches before moving everything — it sets realistic expectations for how much of your mainstream library has an official presence there. Tidy your Spotify playlists beforehand so you are not carrying clutter.
When the transfer finishes, spend a little longer than usual on the Rematch list; on an independent catalogue, a good alternative upload is often just a tap away. Then explore the remixes and edits of your favourite tracks — that is the reason SoundCloud is worth having.
Keeping Spotify and SoundCloud in sync afterwards
A one-time move is not your only option. Since many listeners keep both, FreeYourMusic’s Auto-Sync mirrors the libraries, pushing new additions across on a schedule so a song you save on Spotify shows up on SoundCloud where it exists there.
And the transfer runs the other way too, from SoundCloud back to Spotify, if you want to bring discoveries home. Your library stays portable. Download FreeYourMusic, connect Spotify and SoundCloud, and see how much comes across — the free tier lets you try before upgrading.
