TL;DR
- YouTube Music does not offer a one-click solution to help Spotify users migrate their libraries and playlists.
- Although several third-party tools offer this functionality, they are either paid or copy a limited number of songs per playlist.
- This tool allows you to copy your entire Spotify library to YouTube Music, but it is not as quick and easy as other third-party tools.
If you’re considering switching to YouTube Music after Spotify Premium’s price hike earlier this month, be aware that YouTube Music doesn’t offer native migration functionality. You’ll have to rely on third-party tools to copy your Spotify library, many of which are locked behind a monthly subscription or have a cap on the number of songs you can copy per playlist. If you’re open to a little tinkering and have some experience running Python scripts, developer Sean Reifschneider (aka “linsomniac”) offers a free solution.
by Reifschneider spotify_to_ytmusic The tool will help you copy all your favorite songs and playlists to YouTube Music. It can also list all your existing Spotify and YouTube Music playlists to help you copy individual playlists and avoid duplicates.
Although the tool is not suitable for beginners, the instructions provided on the GitHub page are detailed enough that you can configure the graphical user interface (GUI) in a few minutes. Once done, simply log in to your YouTube Music and Spotify accounts and click the buttons on each tab to backup your Spotify playlists, load the songs you like, list all your playlists and copy playlists on YouTube Music.
If it seems too intimidating or you can’t get it to work even if you followed the steps perfectly, you can consider using paid alternatives like Soundiiz, MusConvOr Free your music. These services are much more user-friendly, offer app support, and include a few quality-of-life features, like the ability to remove duplicate songs from playlists, shuffle the order of playlist tracks, split playlists, etc. But be prepared to pay between $5 and $20 per month for the extra features and ease of use.
