You can't merge two Spotify accounts. Spotify has never offered this feature and probably never will.
That's the bad news. The good news: you can move everything from one account to the other. Playlists, liked songs, followed artists, saved albums, podcasts. The end result is the same as a merge - all your music on one account.
Why Spotify doesn't let you merge
Spotify accounts are tied to individual payment histories, streaming data, and platform partnerships. Merging two accounts would mean combining two separate licensing records, two listening histories, two sets of Wrapped data. From Spotify's side, it's technically messy and they have no incentive to build it.
Their official answer, buried in a support thread from years ago, is simply "this is not possible." No workaround, no future plans.
So you have to do it yourself.
The situation
You've probably got two accounts because of something like this:
You had a personal account and then joined a family plan with a different email. Or your old account used a Facebook login that you can't access anymore. Or you created a new account for a free trial and now you want to go back to the old one but you've been building playlists on both.
Whatever the reason, you've got music split across two accounts and you want it all in one place.
What you can move
Everything you've actively saved on Spotify can be transferred between accounts:
- Playlists (with track order preserved)
- Liked songs (including their original save order)
- Followed artists
- Saved albums
- Podcast subscriptions
What can't move: your listening history, Wrapped stats, and algorithm preferences. Those are locked to each account. Your Discover Weekly and Daily Mixes on the destination account will rebuild over a couple weeks of listening.
How to do it
Connect both Spotify accounts to Tuneferry. Pick which account is the source (the one you're pulling music from) and which is the destination (the one you're keeping). Select what to transfer and hit the button.
If you have music on both accounts that you want to keep, do it twice - transfer from Account A to Account B, then from Account B to Account A. Spotify won't create duplicates if a song is already in your liked songs or a playlist already exists with the same name.
The whole process:
- Go to tuneferry.com
- Log in with Account A (the source)
- Log in with Account B (the destination)
- Choose what to move
- Transfer
For most libraries this takes 5-10 minutes. If you need to do it in both directions, double that.
The manual alternative
Without a tool, you'd need to:
- Open Account A in one browser (or incognito window)
- Open Account B in another browser
- For each playlist: search every song on Account B and add it manually
- For liked songs: search and heart every song individually (no bulk method)
- For artists: search and follow each one
- For albums: search and save each one
- For podcasts: search and subscribe to each one
If you have 20 playlists, 1,000 liked songs, 200 artists, and 50 albums, you're looking at a full weekend of clicking. Maybe more.
Most people who try this give up after the first playlist.
What about collaborative playlists?
Collaborative playlists transfer as regular playlists. You get all the tracks, but the collaborative setting doesn't carry over. You'd need to re-enable collaboration on the new copy and re-invite collaborators.
If the collaborative playlist lives on Account A and you're keeping Account B, consider keeping Account A active just for those shared playlists. Or transfer the tracks and create a new collaborative playlist on Account B.
Common questions
Will I get duplicate songs? Spotify handles this on its own. If a liked song already exists on the destination account, it stays as-is. Playlists transfer as new playlists, so you might end up with two copies of a playlist if both accounts had one with different tracks. You can clean those up after.
Can I merge playlists from both accounts? Not directly. Transfer all playlists to one account, then manually combine any overlapping ones. Spotify doesn't have a playlist merge feature either.
What if one account is banned or locked? If you can still log in and see your library, the transfer works. If the account is fully locked, you'll need a previous backup. Tuneferry's backup mode saves your library to a file you can restore from later.
Do I need both accounts active at the same time? Yes, during the transfer. Both accounts need to be accessible in your browser.
How much does it cost? $6.99 for 30 days of access. One-time payment. You can transfer one playlist free to test it first.
