With so many music streaming services in the town, it has become hard to keep track of all your saved music. Personally speaking, I use both Spotify and YouTube Music and it gets tough to find that recently discovered song. If you also face similar situations then you have come to the right place. Here, I am going to show you how to keep YouTube Music and Spotify playlist in sync. This way, your music library will be available across different platforms and you won’t miss out on anything, no matter which service you are using. So if you are interested, follow along and learn how to sync YouTube Music and Spotify playlist.
We are going to use IFTTT to keep YouTube Music and Spotify Playlist in sync. So go ahead and install IFTTT (Android / iOS — Free, offers in-app purchases). You can also access almost all the services of IFTTT from its web portal.
If you want IFTTT to perform sync immediately then you will have to do it manually. Open the IFTTT action and tap on the “cogwheel” icon. Here, tap on “Check Now” to run the syncing process then and there. This way, your YouTube Music will be in sync with your Spotify playlist all the time.
The above method lets you create a background service that syncs your YouTube Music with Spotify automatically. Note that it will only apply for newly liked songs and not your existing library. So if you want to transfer your existing library of liked songs from YouTube Music to Spotify then here is how you can do it.
Next, choose “YouTube Music“.
Once it fetches the playlist, click on “Next: Select Destination“.
Here, choose the frequency and time as to when the sync will take place. You can also choose the sync method. For instance, “Mirror” keeps the playlists exactly the same. If you remove a song from one service then it will be removed from another service as well. “Add Only” reflects only newly added songs and does not fiddle with removed songs. Now, simply click on “Create Sync” to start the syncing service.
So that is how you can keep YouTube Music and Spotify in sync with each other. In the first method, I have shown a simple guide for users who want to set up a syncing service in the background, free of charge. In the second method, you can also transfer your old library and set up playlist sync as well, but it comes at a cost. So depending on which method you find easy, you can choose any one of them. Anyway, that is all from us. If you want to learn more such Spotify tips and tricks then follow our linked article.
