Spotify has no button to move or merge accounts, and its support team cannot do it for you. You can still bring everything over to a new account, for example when you leave a Family plan, change your email or start fresh. There are two free ways: by hand in the desktop app, or all at once with Soundmovr.
The quick way: everything in one go
Soundmovr is a free website that copies your library from one Spotify account to another in a single run. It works in your browser; nothing is stored on a server, and nothing is deleted on either account.
| What | What happens on the new account |
|---|---|
| Your own playlists | Re-created with the same name, description, privacy, cover and song order |
| Playlists you follow | Followed |
| Liked Songs | Liked again, newest on top as before |
| Saved albums, followed artists | Saved and followed |
| Podcasts, saved episodes, audiobooks | Saved |
- Make a free Spotify app (once, about two minutes). Spotify only lets small tools work for people the tool's owner adds by hand, so you make your own in Spotify's Developer Dashboard. One of your two accounts needs Premium for this. Soundmovr shows every step and the exact settings.
- Connect both accounts: the old one (only read) and the new one.
- Read your library and untick anything you don't want to move.
- Press Start moving and keep the tab open until the report shows. Running it again later only adds what is missing.

The manual way: in the Spotify desktop app
This takes longer and leaves albums, artists and podcasts to you, but needs no tool at all.
Liked Songs
- On the old account, open Liked Songs in the desktop app.
- Click one song, press Ctrl+A (Cmd+A on a Mac) to select all, right-click and choose Add to playlist → New playlist.
- Make that playlist public, or copy its link.
- On the new account, open the playlist, select all songs the same way, right-click and choose Save to your Liked Songs.
Playlists
- On the old account, make each playlist public or copy its link.
- On the new account, open it and either follow it, or copy it: select all songs, right-click, Add to playlist → New playlist. A copy belongs to the new account and stays even if you delete the old one.
Albums, artists and podcasts
These have to be saved or followed again one by one on the new account.
What no method can move
- Listening history, Wrapped and recommendations (Discover Weekly, Daily Mixes, Daylist). The new account learns your taste again within a few weeks.
- Playlist folders. Playlists arrive without folders.
- Followers and likes of your playlists, and people you follow.
- The original "date added". The order is kept, but songs show the day of the move.
- Local files and downloads. Downloaded music has to be downloaded again on the new account.
Questions
Can Spotify support move my library for me?
No. Spotify does not transfer libraries between accounts, so you have to copy them, by hand or with a tool.
Does anything get deleted from my old account?
No. Soundmovr only reads the old account. You can keep or close it afterwards.
Can I merge two Spotify accounts?
Not into one login, but you can copy everything from one account into the other, which merges the libraries. Songs, albums and playlists the new account already has are skipped, so nothing is doubled.
I'm leaving a Family or Duo plan. Does it work for me?
Yes. Any two Spotify accounts work, free or Premium, as long as you can sign in to both.
Is Soundmovr free? Do I need Premium?
Soundmovr is free, with no song limit and no ads. Spotify requires Premium only on the account that creates the free Spotify app in step 1.
Is it safe?
You sign in on Spotify's own page; Soundmovr never sees your password. The access Spotify grants stays in your browser tab and is forgotten when you close it.
