Finding great music for your playlist requires hard work, patience, and time. If you’ve put together a playlist with all your favorite songs on Spotify and want to switch to YouTube Music, you probably want to keep those precious songs.
Although neither YouTube Music nor Spotify allows you to transfer playlists directly on their platforms, there are a few ways you can import your beloved Spotify playlists to YouTube Music using third-party tools.
Why Switch from Spotify to YouTube Music?
Both Spotify and YouTube Music offer over 100 million tracks, so chances are your favorite songs and artists are available on both platforms. However, each service has its limitations, especially if you’re using the free plan.
Spotify is one of the best alternatives to YouTube Music, but the free plan comes with certain restrictions. You can only listen to songs in shuffle mode when playing them from playlists. You can play songs of your choice only if they’re in a personalized Daily Mix. You’re also limited to skipping six songs per hour. Additionally, you can’t download music for offline listening, and the audio quality is limited to 160kbps.
On the other hand, YouTube Music doesn’t have these restrictions. You can play any song you want and skip unwanted songs as many times as you like. However, the biggest disadvantage of YouTube Music is that it doesn’t play music in the background or when your phone is locked. Like Spotify, you can’t download songs for offline listening. On the positive side, YouTube Music streams songs at up to 256Kbps, offering better audio quality.
YouTube Music is a great alternative to Spotify, especially if you’re using the free plan, thanks to higher audio quality and the ability to skip tracks whenever you want. So, if you’re switching from Spotify to YouTube Music, you’re making the right choice.
