Frequently asked questions

Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube Music, Tidal, and Deezer. You can transfer between any combination of these as source and destination.

Yes. No premium tier, no track limits, no feature gating. Donations are appreciated but entirely optional.

No. You can transfer playlists without creating an account. Optionally, you can sign in with Google, Apple, or a passkey to save your transfer history to your account. Anonymous transfers work exactly the same — history is stored in your browser for 7 days.

Tuneshift first tries to match tracks by ISRC (a unique recording identifier). When that's not available, it falls back to matching by title, artist, album, and duration. The confidence badge on the results page shows how strong each match is.

The most common reasons: the track isn't available on the destination service, it's region-locked, or it's listed under a different name or artist. You can export unmatched tracks as CSV and add them manually.

Your streaming tokens are stored in an encrypted session cookie (AES-256-GCM) in your browser and never written to a server database. Playlist data is processed in memory during the transfer and discarded afterward. If you create an account, only your name and email from the sign-in provider are stored. See the privacy policy for full details.

YouTube's API has a daily quota of 10,000 units. Each track search + add costs roughly 150 units, limiting transfers to about 65 tracks per day. This is a YouTube-imposed limit that Tuneshift can't bypass. Transferring from YouTube Music is not affected.

Yes. If the source service exposes your liked songs as a playlist (most do), it will appear in the selection grid. For supported destinations (Spotify and Apple Music), you can add those tracks directly to your library instead of creating a separate playlist.

Transfer results are saved for 7 days. You can close the tab and come back later to view them. If you're signed in, results are linked to your account. If not, they're tied to a browser cookie. After 7 days, they're automatically deleted.

There is no automatic undo. Tuneshift creates new playlists on the destination — it does not modify existing ones (unless you explicitly opt into the "replace library" option for liked songs). You can delete the created playlists manually in your destination app.
