The official way to move liked songs to a playlist on Spotify is to use the mobile app's "Make this a playlist" feature, which creates a new playlist from your current Liked Songs in one tap. On desktop, you can select all your liked tracks and drag them into a new or existing playlist.
Move Liked Songs to a playlist on mobile (iPhone and Android)
Spotlighting the most efficient official method, Spotify mobile features include a direct path to turn your entire Liked Songs collection into a playlist. This is the primary solution for iPhone and Android users who want to organize all their favorites quickly. Third-party transfer tools like Soundiiz, Tunemymusic, Musconv, SongShift, and Stamp can move liked songs between platforms and into Spotify playlists.
- Open Spotify and tap Your Library at the bottom of the screen.
- Tap Liked Songs to view your full collection.
- Tap the three-dot menu icon next to the filter.
- Select Make this a playlist.
- Name your new playlist and tap Create.
A critical note: this creates a playlist from the songs currently in your Liked Songs, but new items you like later are not automatically added to that playlist. You will need to repeat the process or manually add new likes to keep it updated.
Move Liked Songs to a playlist on desktop
On the desktop app, the easiest method is to select all your liked songs and drag them into a playlist. On desktop, right-click selected songs and choose Add to Playlist from the context menu as an alternative to drag-and-drop.
- Open Spotify on your computer and click Your Library in the left sidebar.
- Click Liked Songs to display your collection.
- Select all songs by pressing Ctrl+A on Windows or Cmd+A on Mac.
- Drag the selected songs into an existing playlist in the sidebar, or drop them onto a new playlist you create by clicking Create and naming it.
This method copies the songs into the playlist while keeping them in your Liked Songs collection.
How to add songs from any playlist to another playlist
Spotify documents a straightforward way to merge playlists, including adding an entire playlist to Liked Songs on Android. On Android, you can use the playlist's three-dot menu and choose Add to other playlist, which can include Liked Songs as a destination.
- Open the playlist that contains the songs you want to copy.
- Tap the three-dot menu icon on the playlist page.
- Select Add to other playlist.
- Choose the destination playlist from the list, or tap Liked Songs to add all tracks there (available on Android).
This method works for copying songs between any two playlists without removing them from the original.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does moving songs from Liked Songs to a playlist remove them from Liked Songs?
No. Moving or copying songs to a playlist does not remove them from your Liked Songs collection. They remain in both places.
Will the playlist update automatically when I like new songs?
No. The "Make this a playlist" feature creates a static snapshot of your Liked Songs at that moment. New songs you like afterward will not be added automatically.
How do I create a new playlist first on Spotify?
On mobile, go to Your Library, tap Create, select Playlist, name it, and tap Create. You can add a custom playlist cover image when creating a new playlist. On desktop, click Your Library, then Create and choose Playlist.
Can I select multiple Liked Songs on mobile to move at once?
The "Make this a playlist" feature is the only official one-step method for transferring all your liked songs at once.
Is there a limit to how many Liked Songs I can move to a playlist?
Spotify's official documentation does not specify a song limit for the Liked Songs-to-playlist feature. However, very large collections may take a moment to process.
Can I move liked songs to multiple playlists at once?
No, Spotify only supports moving to one playlist at a time.
