How do I export my playlists?

NotMyName — Wed, 08 Mar 2023 20:12:21 GMT

The new spotify UI looks like a miserable experience, so I'd like to export my playlists so that I can take them with me to a music-focused app and cancel my premium subscription. How do I this? I've looked in both the desktop and mobile apps and haven't found the option.

Hi @NotMyName

On your Spotify account page, you can request a copy of your personal data. One of these options includes your playlist data.

According to this support page,

You will receive these files in JSON format.

Playlist data includes:

Name of playlist.
Date the playlist was last modified.
Names of songs contained within the playlist.
Names of artists for each song.
Names of albums or episodes (if podcasts).
Local track name, if the user uploaded locally saved audio to be played on Spotify service.
Any descriptions added by the user to the playlist.
The number of followers the playlist has.

Check out this thread to provide feedback on the new UI design.

Hope this helps!

This is very convoluted and slow... see my reply below, it is a 30 seconds process to get the playlist.

Awesome. I'll be leaving this site as well. After being a loyal premium sub for years... I just see no added value (or any value at all anymore) in maintaining my sub after the price increase.

Is there a way to export my playlists as a backup (song names & artists only)?

Hi everyone,

I was wondering if there’s any official or recommended way to export the playlists I’ve created on Spotify — not the music files themselves, of course, but just the metadata: song titles, artists, albums, etc.

I’m looking to create a backup copy of my playlists in case I ever lose access to my account or encounter an issue that prevents me from retrieving the playlists I’ve spent a long time building.

Is there a feature in Spotify for this, or maybe a tool that’s allowed and safe to use for exporting this information into a file (like CSV, TXT, or similar)?

Thanks in advance for any guidance or suggestions!

How do we get to this option? I can’t find how to do it through my account details/settings.

After the price increase how do I export my playlists?
