Any good way to transfer playlists?

I used Soundiiz and it works pretty good. Gives you an overview after the import so you can see what’s missing or wrong.

Tidal now has built-in transfer of playlists, at least from Spotify.

I used TuneMyMusic when I moved from Apple to Tidal.

Now this isn’t without its own stupid system.

So to transfer all your music and not just a limited amount you have to sign up to pay for it. Now I’m fine paying a one off fee for this service as it was seamless, what in against it the only options being an annual fee or a recurring payment.

It cost me like £3, maybe less in being lazy. But I had to sign up, do the transfer then immediately cancel. I understand some people might be bougie and use multiple services, but not having a one time fee irked me.

If you go this route, as it is easy as tidal will send you there, please do what I did and send them a complaint afterwards about the ludicrous system and that they should add a one time fee to make it even easier. Heck I would have paid £5 for this as I have so many playlists and liked albums and songs etc.

I mentioned it on here previously and someone alluded to free services but I can’t confirm.

There were apps out there to help with this when I switched from Spotify to Tidal. I can't remember the name anymore though. It just sucks up all your saved songs and playlists, matches them in the other service then adds them. Almost everything I had moved over without a problem. I do miss the social aspect of Spotify, being able to share links with friends. No one I know has tidal except the people on my family plan. There are services that will turn your song link into a linktree like page with links for Spotify, tidal, YouTube music, deezer, etc., but that's clunky.

Sharing a track from Tidal will take you to a page that links to the song on multiple platforms. Try this: https://tidal.com/track/68705949?u

That doesn't help for whole playlists, but it at least helps with sharing with friends
