Similar songs on YouTube Music: questions
How does it pick the songs?
It finds the artists that often share playlists with your starting point and takes their best-known songs, about 2 from each artist. You see every song before anything is saved.
What can I start from?
A song, an artist or a playlist. Choose Find similar songs in the menu of a song or an artist, or on a top song in Stats. Or open a playlist and choose Tools › Make a similar playlist. You can also search for an artist.
How long is the new playlist?
20, 50 or 100 songs. Untick a song to leave it out, or press Shuffle the picks to get another set.
Does it suggest songs I already have?
Not if you leave “Leave out songs I already have” on. It skips the liked songs and the playlists of the account.
Does it change my playlists?
No. It makes a new playlist on YouTube Music. To add similar songs to a playlist of your own, use the playlist extender.
Why are there no suggestions?
For a rare artist, too few playlists may hold their songs. Start from a better-known song or artist, or from a playlist.
Is it free?
You can try the tool free and see the preview. Applying the change needs Pro. Every transfer between services is free, with no song limit.
What else can Free Your Music change on YouTube Music?
On YouTube Music, apps may add songs, remove songs, change the order, and rename playlists. Apps may not change the cover, so the tools that need it are not there.
Where can I use it?
In your browser at freeyourmusic.com/app on any computer, on iPhone and iPad, and on Android.
