How to Transfer Spotify Playlists to YouTube Music

Finding good music for your playlist takes painstaking work, patience, and time. If you’ve curated a playlist with all your favorite songs on Spotify and want to switch to YouTube Music, you might want to take those invaluable songs. 

While neither YouTube Music nor Spotify allows you to transfer playlists natively on the platform, there are a few ways you can import your precious Spotify playlists to YouTube Music using third-party tools.  

Why Switch From Spotify to YouTube Music?

Both Spotify and YouTube Music offer more than 100 million tracks, and there’s a good chance that all your favorite songs and artists are available on both streaming services. However, each service has a few limitations if you use the free plan.

Spotify is one of the best YouTube Music alternatives, but the free plan has certain limitations. This includes being limited to using shuffle mode when playing songs from playlists. You can only play songs of your choice if it’s in a personalized Daily Mix. You are also restricted to skipping six songs every hour. Plus, you can’t download music for offline playback, and the audio quality is limited to 160kbps. 

YouTube Music has no such restriction. You can play any song you desire and skip unwanted songs an unlimited number of times. However, the biggest disadvantage of YouTube Music is that it won’t play music in the background or when you lock your phone. Like Spotify, you can’t download songs for offline listening. On the plus side, YouTube Music streams songs at up to 256Kbps, leading to better audio quality. 

YouTube Music is one of the best Spotify alternatives. And if you’re using the free plan, it has an edge over Spotify with higher audio quality and the ability to skip tracks as and when needed. So, if you are switching to YouTube Music from Spotify, you are making the right decision.
