You probably didn't plan on being here. Nobody wakes up thinking "today I'll transfer my Spotify library to a new account." But here you are, and you've got years of playlists, liked songs, and followed artists sitting on an account you can't keep using.
Maybe Spotify banned you. Maybe you moved countries and your old payment method stopped working. Maybe you were on someone else's family plan and that's over now. Or you just want a fresh account tied to a different email without losing the music you've been collecting since 2015.
The problem is always the same: Spotify doesn't let you move your library between accounts. There's no "transfer" button. No export feature for liked songs. No way to merge two accounts. You're just supposed to start over.
That's why we built TuneFerry.
What you'd lose without a transfer
Most people don't realize how much they've accumulated until they're about to lose it. Your Spotify library isn't just a playlist or two. It's probably:
- Playlists you spent years building, ordered a specific way for a reason
- Hundreds or thousands of liked songs that feed your Daily Mixes and Release Radar
- Artists you follow so you catch new drops
- Albums you saved for those days when you want to listen to something front to back
- Podcasts and shows you're subscribed to
Your listening history and algorithm recommendations won't transfer - that's a Spotify limitation, nobody can move those. But everything you actively chose to save? That can all move to your new account.
Why doing it by hand doesn't work
You could try recreating your library manually. People do. Most give up.
Playlists are the only piece you can sort of do by hand. Open the old account in one browser, new account in another, search for each song, add it. If you've got 5 short playlists, that's a frustrating evening. If you've got 50, that's your whole weekend gone. And you'll get the track order wrong.
Liked songs are where it completely falls apart. There is no manual way to move them. Spotify gives you no export, no bulk action, nothing. Your only option is to search for every single song and heart it again. One by one. If you have 2,000 liked songs, budget about 10 hours of clicking. For 5,000, don't even start.
Artists, albums, and podcasts are the same grind. Search, click, follow. Search, click, save. Repeat a few hundred times.
We've seen people post on Reddit about spending entire weekends doing this and still not finishing. That's what made us build something better.
How TuneFerry works
You connect two Spotify accounts - your old one and your new one. Pick what you want to move. Hit transfer. That's it.
The whole thing runs in your browser. Your music data never leaves your machine, never hits a server, never gets stored anywhere. You authenticate directly with Spotify's OAuth, same as any other app. TuneFerry never sees your password.
Here's what the actual flow looks like:
- Log in to your old Spotify account (the one with your library)
- Log in to your new account (the one you're moving to)
- Choose what to transfer - you can pick whole categories or go playlist by playlist
- Click transfer and wait a few minutes
A typical library with 30 playlists and a couple thousand liked songs takes about 5 minutes. Bigger libraries take a bit longer but we're talking minutes, not hours.
The comparison
| By hand | TuneFerry | |
|---|---|---|
| Playlists | Hours of searching and re-adding | Transferred with track order intact |
| Liked songs | No method exists | Moved in bulk |
| Artists | One by one | All at once |
| Albums | One by one | All at once |
| Podcasts | One by one | All at once |
| Total time | A weekend, maybe more | Under 10 minutes |
| Your data | Depends what you use | Never leaves your browser |
| Cost | Free, but your weekend isn't | $6.99 once, 30 days of access |
Common questions
Is this safe? Everything runs client-side in your browser. No server, no database, no storage. Your Spotify credentials go through Spotify's own OAuth - TuneFerry never touches them.
Will my playlists keep their track order? Yes.
Can I choose what to transfer? Yes. By category, by playlist, sometimes by individual item. You don't have to move everything.
What about collaborative playlists? They come over as regular playlists. You keep the tracks but not the collaborative setting.
Do I need access to both accounts? Yes, during the transfer. If you've already lost access to the old account, there's a backup/restore feature - you can restore from a previously saved .tuneferry file.
How much does it cost? $6.99 for 30 days of access. One-time payment, not a subscription. There's a free tier that lets you transfer one playlist first if you want to test it.
Try it
If you're here because you need to transfer your Spotify library to a new account, tuneferry.com will save you a weekend. Connect both accounts, pick what to move, and you're done in minutes.
You can also back up your library to a file before doing anything, just in case.
