6 Free Ways to Transfer Spotify Playlists to YouTube Music

There are hundreds of guides that promise to teach you how to transfer your Spotify playlists to YouTube Music. However, most guides only tell you the names of the tools without steps to use them.

This post is unique. It introduces you to 6 free methods for both mobile and desktop and shows how to move even your largest playlists from Spotify to YouTube Music in one click. Some tools, like Mediaio Audio Converter, let you move your songs without losing audio quality. And what makes this article different is the clarity: every step is written out in detail, so you can easily complete the transfer using the method that fits your needs.

Transfer Spotify Playlists to YouTube Music for Free on Desktop

Here are some free desktop tools that support large transfers from Spotify to YouTube Music. Here’s what you need to know.

Way 1. Upload Spotify Playlists to YouTube Music

Starting with the traditional method — downloading your songs in Spotify  playlists locally as MP3 files and then uploading them to YouTube Music.

Yes, Spotify doesn’t normally allow you to export songs in MP3 or any other local format. However, Mediaio Audio Converter bridges that gap perfectly. Here’s how the entire process looks.

Step 1. Save Playlist Songs Locally

Mediaio Audio Converter lets you save Spotify songs from playlists, albums or library as local audio files. It supports downloading the songs in every format accepted by YouTube Music: MP3, FLAC, and M4A. You can then upload the converted tracks directly to YouTube Music, play them without Spotify or listen to them offline on another device.

The best part is that you’ll get the exact same songs in high-quality formats(320kbps), with the audio preserved completely. All the metadata, such as artist names, track titles, and even album art, stays visible. Even the album or playlist order remains intact, so nothing feels out of place when you upload them later.

With Mediaio, you can migrate your Spotify playlists without matching songs manually or relying on conversions through third-party servers. It’s a useful tool if you are transferring a modest playlist from Spotify to other services.

Download Spotify Music as MP3, M4A, or FLAC Using Mediaio Audio Converter

Step 1 Pick Spotify from Mediaio Supported Platforms

Install Mediaio Audio Converter on your computer. The interface will greet you with a clean grid of music platforms. From that grid, choose Spotify.

Step 2 Access Your Spotify Library within Mediaio

The built-in Spotify will appear. Sign in using your account credentials(free or premium).

Step 3 Add Songs to Conversion Window

Pick the playlist you want to download by clicking the small Add to the conversion list button beside it. This will select gathers every track in that list.

Step 4 Set Output Settings and Begin the Download

Click the left arrow to open the full conversion list. Choose the YouTube Music’s supported audio format (MP3, M4A, or FLAC) and set the output format if needed. Finally, press Convert All.

Step 5 Locate and Check Downloaded Songs

Your Spotify playlists will be saved on your computer in the selected local format. You can now upload them to YouTube Music.

Step 2. Import Local Spotify MP3s to YouTube Music

Once you’ve downloaded all the songs using Mediaio, open music.youtube.com on your computer and follow these steps:

1. Click your profile icon in the top-right corner. Choose Upload music from the drop-down.

2. Locate the Downloads folder and select Mediaio folder to view your downloads. Choose the playlists you want to add and press Open.

3. Your Spotify tracks will start moving into YouTube Music one by one.

4. After the upload completes, open your Library tab. You’ll find your songs listed there with all the original artwork, Spotify-like sound quality, and proper metadata preserved.

Way 2. Use Reddit-Recommended Online Tools (WeMor)

WeMor was one of the most recommended tools on Reddit of 2024. It runs entirely online and needs no software setup. There are two tiers: free and premium.

The free plan allows you to move playlists of about 200 to 2000 songs. The premium one costs US$1.99 and lets you transfer playlists of any size for up to 7 days with an access code. After that, you’ll need to buy a new access code again for US$1.99.

All sounds good, but there’s one tricky part. You’ll need to collect your YouTube Music headers manually, which can feel technical to some users. Still, if you’re looking for a lightweight and quick transfer method, WeMor is worth trying.

How to Use WeMor for Spotify Playlist Transfer

Step 1. Copy the Spotify playlist link.

Step 2. Go to wemor.vercel.app and paste the Spotify playlist link in the Spotify Playlist URL box.

Step 3. To add headers in the YouTube Music Headers field:

• Open YouTube Music and sign in.
• Press F12 (or right-click > Inspect) to open Developer Tools.



• Select the Network tab.



• Click any area in YouTube Music, such as Home, Library, or Explore, to generate new network requests.
• In the filter bar, type browse.
• Select that request, expand Request Headers and look for a request to music.youtube.com/browse.



• Select that request, open Request Headers and copy everything, ensuring these three appear: Authorization, Cookie and X-Goog-AuthUser.

Step 4. Paste these headers into the WeMor page.

Step 5. Click Transfer to YouTube Music and wait for the transfer to finish.

Possible Issues

• It is common for the tool to show a “Transfer Failed” error repeatedly.



• Some playlists skip songs or mark them as duplicates, even when they’re not.
• Playlists with over 1000 songs can trigger transfer errors.



• You can see HTTP header errors, such as missing cookies, for example, Secure-3PAPISID is not found.



• It doesn’t work reliably when using a VPN.
• Copying YouTube Music headers is a bit challenging and must be done even with a premium account.

Way 3. Apply Spotify to YouTube Music GitHub Utility

GitHub tools are not the easiest to use. However, they give you unmatched control once you understand how to use them.

Take linsomniac’s spotify_to_ytmusic utility as an example. It can transfer your entire Spotify library in a single click, though the convenience comes with a lot of complicated steps and technical know-how.

How to Use spotify_to_ytmusic by linsomniac

Step 1. Download and install Git and Python on your computer. During the Python setup, make sure you tick the box “Add Python to PATH”. This ensures you can run Python commands from your terminal easily.

Step 2. Open your Command Prompt or Terminal. Select the folder where you want to download the linsomniac’s spotify_to_ytmusic utility, such as cd Desktop.

Step 3. Type the command to download the utility: git clone https://github.com/sigma67/spotify_to_ytmusic.git

Wait for it to finish. Then, move inside the folder by typing: cd spotify_to_ytmusic

Step 4. You’ll need to copy your YouTube Music headers (as discussed in the WeMor method).

• After copying everything, return to the script folder.
• Open the file named headers_raw.txt.
• Paste all the raw headers there.
• Save and close the file.

Step 5. In the Command Prompt or Terminal window, type: pip install -r requirements.txt

On some systems: pip3 install -r requirements.txt

Step 6. Now type this command to start the tool: python start.py

The script will automatically detect your headers file and log you in. You’ll see a message that says: File detected. Auto-login successful.

After this, a Spotify login window will appear. Log in to your account.

Step 7. The script will load your Spotify playlists, you’ll see two options:

• Transfer a specific playlist by its ID.
• Transfer all playlists together.

For one playlist: python start.py --copy-playlist PLAYLIST_ID

For all playlists: python start.py --copy-all

Step 8. Open YouTube Music and go to your Library. You’ll notice new playlists appearing gradually as the transfer completes.

User Feedbacks

• Users appreciate the tool because it can handle long playlists easily. One user mentioned transferring 3,500+ songs in just about 2.5 hours — all for free.
• It’s considered reliable for moving larger collections, especially when other tools limit free transfers.



• The setup process is challenging, as you need to interact with the Command Prompt and install multiple tools.
• Reports of short errors, missing tracks, and duplicate results are common. Some songs fail to appear or the same song gets added twice.

Transfer Spotify Playlists to YouTube Music for Free on iPhone/Android

Desktop tools make it easy to move large playlists in one go. However, mobile apps are no less. They work similarly, though their free-tier comes with limits.
