How to transfer playlists from Spotify to Tidal
Four steps. The same on iPhone, Android, Mac, Windows and Linux.
Quick answer
To transfer Spotify to Tidal, install FreeYourMusic, select Spotify 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 Spotify as the source
Open FreeYourMusic, tap the Spotify tile on the "Select source" screen and sign in on the Spotify sign-in page. FreeYourMusic does not store your Spotify 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 Spotify 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.
Good to know before you move Spotify to Tidal
Spotify as the source
A free Spotify account is enough. Spotify does not let apps read the playlists it makes for you, such as personalised mixes: copy their songs into your own playlist first.
Read the Spotify guide →Tidal as the destination
Tidal does not let apps remove or reorder songs in a playlist, so Auto-Sync only adds new songs to Tidal.

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

Moving from Spotify to Tidal, explained
People leave Spotify for Tidal mostly for two reasons: the sound and the substance. Tidal streams in HiFi and HiRes FLAC and wraps its catalogue in credits and editorial that treat music seriously. FreeYourMusic gets you there without the busywork — it reads your Spotify library through Spotify’s official sign-in and rebuilds your playlists, liked songs, saved albums and followed artists inside Tidal.
This guide runs through what moves, what cannot, how track matching keeps your versions intact, how long it takes, and an honest Spotify-versus-Tidal comparison. If you would rather just start, download FreeYourMusic, connect both accounts and pick what to transfer — the detail below is here whenever you want it.
What transfers to Tidal, and what does not
Your playlists move with names and order preserved, your liked songs arrive as favourites, your saved albums come along and your followed artists carry over. Move everything in one go or select individual playlists — counts are shown before you commit so there is no guesswork.
Some things cannot follow you. Discover Weekly and Release Radar are Spotify’s own algorithmic playlists, so they can only be copied as a fixed snapshot of their current tracks. Podcasts stay behind, and any locally uploaded files that live only on your device are not part of a streaming catalogue and cannot be matched into Tidal.
How FreeYourMusic matches your tracks
Each Spotify song is matched to the same recording in Tidal, preferring the ISRC code the industry assigns to every recording and falling back to title, artist, album and duration when it is absent. That is what lets a big library land on the other side with the correct masters rather than substitutes.
Because Tidal often carries specific masters and hi-res editions, most tracks match cleanly, but the occasional release will differ between catalogues. FreeYourMusic never quietly drops a song; anything without a perfect counterpart is flagged for one-tap Rematch with suggestions, so you stay in control of every substitution.
How long does a Spotify to Tidal transfer take?
Most transfers finish in minutes. With both accounts connected, around 1,000 tracks typically completes in under ten minutes. Very large libraries take longer, but you can start the move and step away — it runs on its own and you can check in from another device.
FreeYourMusic has native apps for iPhone, iPad, Android, Mac, Windows and Linux, so the Spotify to Tidal move is not tied to one machine. Start on your laptop and follow the progress on your phone; it is the same account and the same transfer.
Spotify vs Tidal: what actually changes
This is the fidelity upgrade many listeners are chasing. Where Spotify streams compressed audio by default, Tidal delivers lossless HiFi and HiRes FLAC, and it surrounds tracks with songwriter and producer credits and artist-led editorial that Spotify does not foreground. If you read liner notes for fun, Tidal feels built for you.
The trade-offs are real, though. You leave behind Spotify’s Discover Weekly, Wrapped and collaborative-playlist culture, and its enormous free ecosystem. Tidal’s recommendations are more curator-driven than algorithmic. Whether that is a gain depends on whether you want a machine or an editor pointing you to your next favourite record.
Do you need to keep Spotify while you transfer?
Yes — keep Spotify active until the transfer is done and checked. FreeYourMusic reads your Spotify library as it copies into Tidal, and keeping both live means you never lose access mid-move. Cancel Spotify only once you are happy with the result.
Be aware that Tidal has no permanent free tier, so you will need a Tidal trial or subscription on the receiving end to accept the transfer. Both services connect through their own official login screens, and your password is never shared with FreeYourMusic in either direction.
Tips for a clean migration
Tidy up before you move: delete the Spotify playlists you never touch so you carry only what matters. Transfer a few favourites first and audition them in Tidal — because you are now hearing lossless, it is worth confirming the matched masters are the ones you wanted before moving everything.
When the transfer finishes, work through the Rematch list while the albums are fresh in your mind. Then set your Tidal streaming quality to HiFi or HiRes in settings and re-download your core playlists for offline listening, so you actually get the sound you switched for.
Keeping Spotify and Tidal in sync afterwards
A one-time move is not the only path. If you are not ready to fully leave Spotify, or you share a household split across both, FreeYourMusic’s Auto-Sync keeps the two libraries mirrored, pushing new additions across on a schedule so a save on one turns up on the other without effort.
And the transfer runs just as well in reverse, from Tidal back to Spotify, if you ever want to switch again. Your library belongs to you; FreeYourMusic simply makes it portable. Download the app, connect Spotify and Tidal, and see how much comes across — the free tier lets you try before upgrading.
