How To Transfer Spotify Playlists To Another Account?
1. Drag and Drop Playlists Between Spotify Accounts
One of the easiest ways to transfer Spotify playlists to another account is by using your computer. Here’s how you can do it step by step:
#1: Open Spotify on Your Computer
Launch the Spotify app on your Windows or macOS computer, and log into your old Spotify account.
#2: Export the Playlist
Select the playlist you want to transfer, then drag and drop it to your desktop. This action will create an HTML file for the playlist.
#3: Open the Playlist in a Browser
Double-click the HTML file to open it in your web browser. It will display your playlist and its contents.
#4: Log Into Your New Spotify Account
Log out of your old Spotify account and log into your new one. Then, drag and drop the playlist from your desktop into the Spotify app to import it.
Once the playlist is visible in your new account, click the Heart icon to save it to your Spotify library.
Tips: If you want to transfer your Liked Songs, start by selecting all tracks in your Liked Songs list. Create a new playlist and add all the selected tracks to it. Then, follow the steps above to transfer this playlist to your new account. This straightforward method ensures you can easily keep your playlists intact on your new Spotify account!
2. Transfer Playlists by Searching Your Old Profile
If you have several public playlists on your old Spotify account, you can easily transfer them by following your original profile. Here’s how:
