Spotify Family- Transfer playlists and delete (or hide) from my account??

Solved!

Spotify Family- Transfer playlists and delete (or hide) from my account??

Recently switched from Premium to Family premium.  My playlists are getting cluttered and I'd like to delete a bunch that my wife and/or kids want to have access to on their new family accounts.  Is there I way that I can transfer these to them and then delete, or at least hide them from my list.  For example, if they simply follow one of these lists, and then I delete it, I am assuming it will disappear from their library as well. I'd love to be able to somehow "give" them "creator" status for the PLs they want, and then delete from my library. .Any ideas on how to best manage this playlist management problem are greatly appreciated.   Thanks in advance!

Hello @snoopdug, Welcome to the Community!

 

The quickest way to transfer playlists is to use the tool on this page: Trikatuka - Spotify migration tool

You have to sign in as the "Old user" and the account you want to transfer the playlists to as the "New user".

Make sure you click at "(Not you?)" beneath the text "You are logged in as" to switch to another account.

 

If you have any more questions, I'm happy to help you.

 

Cheers,

 

Vincent

Hi @snoopdug,

 

When you delete a playlist, you're actually only deleting the link from your account to the playlist, or at least that's the impression I have gained over time.

 

So you can delete the ones you want, and since your family member are following them, they will continue to exist. You can even make them collaborative so the ones who follow will be able to add/remove songs 🙂

@gboots53, You don't need to transfer playlists if you are holding the same account.
