To switch music services on Sonos, copy your playlists from the old service to the new one with Soundiiz, then add the new account to the Sonos app. If you created the playlists inside Sonos, export them first.
Where are your playlists saved?
A Spotify or Apple Music playlist you play through Sonos can still belong to that music service. Check whether it appears in the service's own app before choosing a method.
Before you start
Transfer your playlists to the new music service
- Open the Transfer tool
Open Soundiiz and choose Transfer under Tools. - Choose your accounts
Connect the music service that contains your playlists. Choose your source and destination music services. Use the destination account you will also add to Sonos. - Select and transfer your playlists
Select the playlists you want to copy, review your selection, and start the transfer. Available options depend on your Soundiiz plan and the services you selected. - Check the destination
Review the transfer result, then open the new music service's own app and check the playlists and tracks before continuing in Sonos.
For the detailed transfer steps and plan limits, see How to Use Soundiiz to Transfer Playlists and Favorites.
For example, when switching from Spotify to Apple Music, Soundiiz recreates the playlist in Apple Music.
Spotify | → | Apple Music |
Listen to the transferred playlists on Sonos
- Add your new service
In the Sonos app for iOS or Android, open Account, then Content Services. Under Connected Services, select Add Content Service. - Sign in to the destination account
Choose the music service, select Add to Sonos, and follow the sign-in instructions. Use the same account that received your Soundiiz transfer. - Open your playlists in that service
Browse the connected service in Sonos and find the transferred playlists in its library.
For Sonos S1, desktop, or web instructions, follow Sonos's guide to adding a content service. You can use a music-service playlist on Sonos without turning it into a separate Sonos playlist.
If a playlist does not appear in Sonos
First check the destination service's own app. If the playlist is missing there too, review the Soundiiz transfer result. If it is present there, check that Sonos is connected to the same music-service account.
If the service itself is missing from the Sonos setup menu, follow Sonos's country and service-availability checks. For playback or service outages, check Sonos service status. A playlist transfer does not fix a Sonos connection or playback outage.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I transfer playlists directly to Sonos with Soundiiz?
No. Transfer the playlists to a supported music service, then connect that account to Sonos. Soundiiz does not connect directly to Sonos.
Will my existing Sonos playlists switch to the new music service automatically?
No. An existing Sonos playlist still refers to tracks from its original sources. Export that playlist first, then use Soundiiz to recreate its track list in the new music service. Adding the new service to Sonos does not rewrite the old Sonos playlist.
Do I need to export a file for a Spotify or Apple Music playlist?
If the playlist is saved in a service you can connect to Soundiiz, use that connection to transfer it. The separate export step is for playlists created inside Sonos.
Why are some songs missing after the transfer?
Soundiiz searches for matching recordings in the destination catalog. Some tracks may be unavailable in that service or country, or may not be identified from the available information. Review the transfer result before checking the playlist in Sonos.
Do I need a Soundiiz Sync for Sonos to show my playlists?
No. Once the playlist exists in the destination music service, use that account on Sonos. Soundiiz playlist Sync is an optional way to copy later changes between supported music services; Sonos itself is not the Sync destination.
