Part 1. Transfer Spotify Playlist to Google Play Music with Soundiiz

When we are planning to change one streaming music service to another, the most concerned thing is about how to move the favorite music and playlist to the other's library. Fortunately, there are a few great apps that can help users achieve this goal, such as Soundiiz, Portify and Stamp. Since we focus on transferring music from Spotify to Google Music here, we will take Soundiiz as example to show you the simple tutorial on moving your playlists and favorites from Spotify to Google Play Music.

Step 1. Open the Soundiiz Web App and login this software with your social account, like Facebook or Twitter or you can sing up a new account with your email address.

Step 2. In your library, please choose target category from Playlists, Albums, Artists and Tracks. For example, if you would like to sync Spotify playlist to Google Music, please select Playlists category.

Step 3. Touch the Spotify icon on the left panel to connect Spotify account and then you can select Spotify playlists that you'd like to move.

Step 4. Click the Convert button in the top tool bar and set Google Play Music as the destination source. And you are required to login your Google account.

Step 5. The process starts. Once finished and if tracks have been found, your playlists will be available on Google Play Music.

Verdict

Besides, if the audio files are not available in Google Play Music, it will not show up in the synced list. But, it can't be denied that there is a simple and free way to switch playlists from Spotify to Google Music.
