How to Transfer Spotify Playlists to Another Account (Step-by-Step Guide) ​

Why Transfer Your Spotify Playlists ​

Many users need to create a new Spotify account due to email changes, regional settings, or other reasons. However, Spotify does not offer a built-in feature for migrating playlists, leaving users concerned about losing their carefully curated music collections.

The good news is, there are several ways to transfer playlists from one account to another without requiring advanced technical skills.

This is the most basic method, ideal for users comfortable with manual transfers.

Steps:

  1. Open Spotify Web Player on your computer and log in with your old account.
  2. Select the playlist you want to transfer from "Your Library" in the left sidebar.
  3. Drag the playlist to your desktop – Spotify will generate an .html file containing the playlist link.

  2. Double-click the HTML file or drag it into the browser’s address bar to load the playlist.
  3. Click "Save to Your Library" in the new account to complete the transfer.
