Is there a way to back them up and import to my new account?
If your Spotify is connected with Facebook and you don't want your friend to know your listening activity, the best way it to create another account. But how to get the playlist from your old account to the new one?
In the following parts, I'm going to show you how to copy Spotify playlist to another account and play Spotify songs unlimitedly without Premium.
Part 1. How to Transfer Spotify Playlists to Another Account Manually
There are two methods to transfer playlists from your old Spotify account to your new one. Both methods involve sharing the playlists and saving them, and they work best on computer devices. If you can still access your account, music library, and the specific playlists you'd like to transfer, you can either export them to text (like a shareable URL) or publish them to your profile. Then, log into your new account and grab the playlists directly by opening your profile or the URL, which redirects you to the playlist where a "Save to library" option is available.
However, saving them directly will mark your old account as the creator. If you'd like to remove this and keep the playlists as your own, we suggest you choose "Add to other playlist" instead to create a brand new one with the same songs.
Method 1: Publish Your Spotify Playlists to Your Profile
- Launch the Spotify app or go to the Spotify website and log in to your old account.
- On the left-hand side, find your playlists. Right-click on each playlist and select "Make Public".
- Tip: If you see "Make Private" instead, they are already public.
- Click on your profile picture in the top right corner and select "Settings" > "Social" > "Publish my new playlists on my profile". Toggle this option on.
- Click on your profile picture and select "Profile". Ensure the playlists are displayed on your profile. Click on the three dots (more options) under your display name and select "Copy link to profile".
- Log out of your old account and log in to your new Spotify account.
- Paste the copied profile link into the address bar and press "Enter" to open your old profile.
- Scroll down to find and open the public playlists. Click on the "+" button to save each playlist directly.
- Click the three dots (more options) next to the playlist's name and select "Add to other playlist" > "New playlist". This creates a brand new playlist with you as the creator.
Method 2: Send Your Spotify Playlists
- Launch the Spotify app or go to the Spotify website and log in to your old account.
- Navigate to your playlists under your library. Ensure they're public. Right-click on each playlist you want to transfer and select "Share" > "Copy link to playlist". This copies the URL of the playlist to your clipboard.
- Open a text document and press Ctrl/CMD + V to paste the URL. Repeat this for each playlist.
- Log out of your old account and log in to your new Spotify account.
- Paste each copied playlist link into the address bar and press "Enter" to open the playlist.
- Once the playlist opens, click on the "+" button to save it to your library. For a cleaner transfer, click on the three dots > "Add to other playlist" > "New playlist".
Extra Tip: Transfer Your Liked Songs
- Launch the Spotify app or go to the Spotify website and log in to your old account.
- Navigate to your "Liked Songs" under your library.
- Select all songs in your "Liked Songs" (you can use Ctrl+A on Windows or Command+A on Mac).
- Right-click on the selected songs and choose "Add to other playlist" > "New Playlist". Name this playlist (e.g., "Liked Songs Transfer").
- Right-click on the new playlist and select "Make Public" if it isn't already.
- Right-click on the playlist and select "Share" > "Copy link to playlist". This copies the URL of the playlist to your clipboard.
- Log out of your old account and log in to your new Spotify account.
- Paste the copied playlist link into the address bar and press "Enter" to open the playlist.
- Once the playlist opens, click on the "+" button to save it to your library. For a cleaner transfer, click on the three dots > "Add to other playlist" > "New playlist".
This manual process might take some time if you have many playlists, but it ensures all your music is transferred accurately. If you're looking for a more hands-down method, stay tuned for the next section where we'll explore using powerful tools for transferring playlists.
