Why can't I transfer playlists made by Spotify?

SPOTIFY LIMITATION

Spotify-owned playlists

Soundiiz can transfer user-created Spotify playlists, but not playlists owned by Spotify.

Which Spotify playlists can't I transfer?

The restriction applies to every playlist owned by Spotify. This includes Spotify editorial playlists; Made for You playlists such as Daily Mixes, Spotify Mixes, Discover Weekly, Release Radar, On Repeat, Repeat Rewind, and Daylist; and Wrapped or yearly recap playlists such as Your Top Songs.

Public playlists created by other Spotify users are not covered by this restriction.

Why can't Soundiiz transfer them?

Spotify's Developer Policy permits third-party services to transfer a user's personal data or the metadata of that user's playlists. Playlists owned by Spotify fall outside that permission.

Soundiiz must follow this policy so Spotify can remain available on Soundiiz. This is why Spotify-owned playlists cannot be used as transfer sources or exported as backup files.

How can I transfer the songs instead?

Create a user-owned copy in Spotify, then use that copy in Soundiiz.

1. Create a playlist in Spotify
   While signed in to the Spotify account connected to Soundiiz, create a new empty playlist.
2. Copy the songs
   Open the Spotify-owned playlist and add the tracks you want to the playlist you created.
3. Refresh Spotify in Soundiiz
   Return to Soundiiz and refresh your Spotify playlists so the new playlist appears.
4. Use your new playlist
   Select the copy in Soundiiz to transfer it to another service or export it as a backup.

Still not seeing your copy?

Make sure the new playlist was created in the same Spotify account connected to Soundiiz, then refresh Spotify in Soundiiz. If it is still missing, send us its Spotify link.
