How to Transfer Spotify Playlists to Another Device
Once you’ve spent countless hours curating the perfect playlist on Spotify, it can be frustrating to feel limited by accessing it only on one device.
Luckily, transferring your playlists to another device is easier than ever. All you need is a few simple steps and you’ll have your beloved playlists at your fingertips in no time.
1. Select the Playlist to Transfer
First, open the Spotify app on the device that currently has the playlist you want to transfer. Tap on the “Your Library” option at the bottom of the screen, and secondly, select the “Playlists” option.
Here you can view and change the playlists in your Spotify account. Tap on the playlist you want to transfer to select it. The selected playlist will have a green checkmark next to it.
2. Copy the Spotify Playlist Link
With the playlist selected, tap on the three dots (…) menu in the upper right corner. Select “Share” then tap “Copy Song Link”. This copies the unique URL for the playlist to your clipboard.
3. Paste the Link to the New Device
Now open the Spotify premium app on the new device and tap on “Your Library” then “Playlists”. Tap on the “+” icon in the upper right corner to create a new playlist. Name the playlist, then tap on “Add songs” below the playlist name.
In the “Add songs” section, tap on the search bar at the top and paste in the playlist URL you copied earlier. Tap on the playlist to add it.
4. Transfer Playlists to a New Spotify Account
If you want to transfer playlists to an entirely new Spotify account, the process is the same. Simply copy the playlist link from the old account, create a new playlist in the new account, and paste the link to add the songs.
This allows you to seamlessly transfer your Spotify playlists to a new Spotify account.
5. Share Collaborative Playlists
For collaborative playlists you’ve created or subscribed to, the steps are the same. Just copy the playlist link and paste it into the new account. Both accounts will be able to edit the playlist and add new songs.
