Just because we like our streaming platform doesn’t mean we’re not tempted to try out what’s available elsewhere. The temptation is natural, considering the multitude of options available to us. Some of you may be wondering how to transfer playlists and data from Spotify to TIDAL.
Soundiiz is a powerful tool that simplifies the process of transferring playlists and data between music streaming platforms. It’s beneficial if you’re considering switching from Spotify to TIDAL. Luckily, we’ve prepared a tutorial to explain everything!
Why would you want to transfer playlists and data from Spotify to TIDAL?
Spotify is the market leader, the most used streaming company in the world, arguably the one with the best algorithm, the largest selection of audiobooks, and so much more. These are undeniable facts, and they’re the result of not only years of experience and improvements, but also constant multi-million dollar investments.
Spotify understands this well: to stand out from the competition, it must constantly renew its offering, add new features, improve its user experience, expand its catalog, and refine its music recommendations. This is, in fact, one of the keys to Spotify’s success: its algorithm.
The Swedish giant understood the need to enter the recommendation tools market faster than its competitors. In a world where music is becoming homogenized and where a multitude of artists are emerging at the same time as the means of discovering them, outside of social media, are dwindling, streaming platforms must play the role, at least indirectly, of talent scouts.
For many listeners, the crux of the matter is the discovery playlists offered by streaming services, which are based on their listening habits. This allows them to quench their thirst for new songs and artists and to feel like a world of possibilities opens up as soon as they log onto their streaming platform. And if there’s one service that has grasped this new dimension, it’s Spotify. The quality of its music recommendations is one of the main factors that drives millions of listeners to continue using Spotify.
And this, despite a few hiccups, which we detail below.
But still…
It’s no secret that Spotify has been facing increasingly harsh criticism for several months now. Artist compensation is among the lowest on the market, even though Spotify is the world leader in music streaming. Artificial intelligence is less well-regulated than its competitors, and numerous scandals have made headlines. First, there were entire playlists generated with songs created with artificial intelligence, replacing “real” artists. Then, fake bands and artists create hundreds of thousands of streams. And, among other things, songs were uploaded to the pages of artists who died many years ago, without these songs being validated by the organizations managing the musicians’ rights.
Not to mention the successive increases in subscription prices, which continue to climb. These increases also affect Spotify’s competitors. The result: users are leaving Spotify en masse. Firstly, to protest these practices, but also against the actions of its founder, Daniel Ek, a man who invests colossal sums in weapons, artificial intelligence, fast medicine, and other controversial fields.
For some artists, Spotify is seen as the big bad wolf, and for consumers, it’s Daniel Ek who is also under fire. These are all reasons why Spotify, despite its many qualities, is an increasingly controversial platform.
How to transfer playlists and data from Spotify to TIDAL?
This may seem obvious, but you must create a TIDAL account before you do anything else. It will provide you with a solid foundation to work on.
Then, if you haven’t already done so, create an account on Soundiiz or log in.
Once this has been done, you can access your Soundiiz Home Page. On the left-hand side of your screen, in the “Tools” section, you’ll see the “Transfer” section. Click on it.
This is where you’ll need to link your source account (Spotify) and your destination account (TIDAL). To do this, click “Select Source” and look for the Spotify icon. Then click “Select Destination” and look for the TIDAL icon.
You’ll see a green “Connected” button in both sections if everything is working correctly. Click on the “Start” button.
Please note: this will only work if you already have a TIDAL account. If not, there will be no green button.
Soundiiz will search to see which items are transferable to your destination platform. Select the items you want to transfer, then click “Confirm My Selection” and “Begin the transfer.”
Note: if you use Soundiiz’s free version, you can only transfer up to 200 songs per playlist and one playlist at a time. Click here to check our Premium plans!
The transfer has just started! Depending on the amount of data transferred, it may take a few minutes to complete. You can check the transfer progress in the “Automation” – “My Batches” section.
Once the transfer is finished, you can rest assured that everything has been successfully moved. If you check your mailbox, you should find an email indicating that your transfer is complete, giving you peace of mind!
Is transferring playlists and data from Spotify to TIDAL free of charge?
Two answers: yes and no. Yes, because we offer a free option, allowing you to transfer up to 200 references at a time. That’s a lot and will be enough for many listeners. It’s important to us that our services are accessible to as many people as possible, without distinction.
But if you want to transfer more references, we also offer a paid option. For a few dollars, you’ll have no limits! In the interest of transparency and ease of use, this subscription is commitment-free and can be canceled at any time.
It’s therefore very easy to make just one or more transfers and cancel your subscription when you no longer need Soundiiz.
What else can you do with Soundiiz?
You can imagine that the ability to transfer your data from one platform to another isn’t the only thing Soundiiz offers. Please note that while the procedure below concerns a transfer from Spotify to TIDAL, our services are compatible with all other services: Apple Music, Deezer, Qobuz, YouTube Music, or Amazon Music, in any direction.
With Soundiiz, you can also sync data, such as playlists. If you’ve decided to leave Spotify but still want to take advantage of its excellent algorithm, you can do so. Our Sync option gives you access to Spotify playlists, which will be automatically uploaded to your new platform at the frequency you choose: daily, weekly, or monthly.
Soundiiz offers you the best of both worlds: no more worrying about adding content to your daily routine!
In addition to this synchronization and transfer tool, we’ve also developed a SmartLink creation system. If you’re an artist, music influencer, or someone else involved in any activity that consists of bringing multiple links together in one place and tracking your statistics, Soundiiz has you covered! Our tool is as user-friendly as it is visually appealing and should make you look like a true industry professional, while also making it easier to manage and analyze your data.
But that’s not all: our Artificial Intelligence tool will allow you to generate selected songs based on criteria you enter on Soundiiz, opening you up to a world of possibilities.
