How to Transfer YouTube Music to Spotify | PlaylistGo

If you’re moving from YouTube Music to Spotify, one of the biggest frustrations is losing your carefully curated playlists, liked songs, and saved albums. Manually searching for each track again can take hours, or even days, especially if you have large or long-term collections.

Fortunately, there’s a much easier way.

In this article, I’ll walk you through **how to transfer YouTube Music to Spotify step by step**, without downloading files or recreating playlists one by one.

Why People Switch from YouTube Music to Spotify

While YouTube Music works well for many users, Spotify remains a popular alternative for several reasons:

More advanced playlist recommendations

Better cross-device syncing

A cleaner playlist management experience

Wider integration with third-party apps and smart devices

The problem isn’t switching platforms — it’s moving your music history with you.

Can You Transfer YouTube Music Playlists Directly to Spotify?

Short answer: not officially.

YouTube Music doesn’t provide a built-in option to export playlists to Spotify. That means if you rely on manual methods, you’ll have to:

Search for each song individually

Rebuild playlists track by track

Risk missing songs or changing the original order

For users with dozens of playlists, this quickly becomes impractical.

The Easier Way: Use a Professional Playlist Transferer

Instead of manual copying, many users choose a professional playlist transfer solution designed specifically for moving playlists between streaming platforms.

These tools connect directly to your YouTube Music and Spotify accounts and handle the transfer automatically — no audio downloading required.

A good transfer tool should be able to:

Move playlists in bulk

Keep the original song order

Transfer liked songs and albums
