Frequently Asked Questions
▸Why is there no direct import into Spotify?
Since May 15, 2025, Spotify grants extended Web API access only to registered companies running a service with at least 250,000 monthly active users (Spotify's announcement). And since February 2026 apps in development mode are limited to 5 test users, each of whom needs a Premium subscription (TechCrunch).
An independent free tool like this one cannot meet those criteria. So instead we give you a clean text track list and recommend TuneMyMusic and Soundiiz to finish the import — established services that do have extended access.
Direct import is planned for services with open APIs — Apple Music, Tidal, Deezer. Vote in the survey shown under your export result: it sets the priorities.
▸Is it free? Are there any limits?
Completely free: no registration, no limits on playlist size, no watermarks. The only technical restriction is a rate limit of 10 requests per minute per IP to prevent abuse — you will not notice it in normal use.
Mind the limits of the tool you import with, though: for example, the free tier of TuneMyMusic caps a transfer at 500 tracks, and free Soundiiz handles playlists up to 200 tracks.
▸Do I need to give you access to my Yandex Music or Spotify account?
No. There are no logins, passwords or OAuth grants — you only paste a link to a public playlist. And there is nothing to revoke afterwards, because we never had access to anything.
▸Will anything change in my Yandex Music account?
No. The service only reads the playlist you link to. Nothing is deleted, changed or added — your account and your playlists stay exactly as they are.
▸Why doesn't my private playlist work?
Yandex Music does not expose private playlists to anyone but their owner — that is a platform restriction, and it cannot be worked around. Open the playlist, go to its edit menu and switch the visibility to public; you can make it private again right after the export.
▸Can I export my Liked songs («Мне нравится»)?
Yes — your likes are a regular playlist in Yandex Music. Open «Мне нравится», make sure it is public, copy its link via Share and paste it here like any other playlist.
▸Which link formats are supported?
Both: the new copy-link format music.yandex.ru/playlists/… (the one Share gives you) and the old music.yandex.ru/users/…/playlists/…. Links from the .ru and .com domains work equally well.
▸Does it work outside Russia? Do I need a VPN?
It works from any country, and no VPN is needed. Yandex Music blocks API requests coming from outside Russia and the CIS (HTTP 451), but our server takes care of that for you — that is the main reason this service exists.
▸What data do you collect?
No cookies, no trackers, no third-party analytics — that is why there is no cookie banner here. For each request we store a salted hash of your IP (never the raw address), a country code, the browser language and technical details of the request; logs are deleted automatically after 90 days, and playlist contents are never linked to you. Details are in the Privacy Policy.
▸Some tracks were not found when importing into Spotify. What can I do?
Catalogs differ between services, and the same release can be titled differently — usually the vast majority of a playlist matches automatically. TuneMyMusic and Soundiiz show the list of unmatched tracks at the end of a transfer: add those few manually.
▸How can I support the project?
Donate via T-Bank or by card using the buttons on the homepage, and vote in the post-export survey — it decides which direct import we build first.
