by Three free ways to quickly move to a new service.
In early March, Spotify announced the suspension of the Premium subscription for users from Russia. After the end of the paid period of use, you will only be able to listen to music within the free plan with low quality playback and ads between tracks.
If these changes do not suit you, you can switch to other music services, for example, to ” Yandex.Music” – he is unlikely to encounter work restrictions. We tell you how to transfer your tracks there.
TuneMyMusic
One of the most famous resources for transferring online music is TuneMyMusic. It does not require registration and partially supports the Russian language.
Go to the TuneMyMusic website and click the “Let's Get Started” button. Next, select Spotify as the source and confirm service access to your account by accepting the terms of use.
Click “Download from your account” if you want to transfer all or some of your music. You can also insert a link to only the desired playlist from Spotify.
In the first case, the service will automatically select all your favorite tracks, albums and playlists.
At the stage of choosing the target platform, TuneMyMusic will offer to select Yandex Music, but after that it will ask for a username and password from the service, which is clearly unsafe. In addition, such a transfer works with errors and is limited to only 500 tracks.
In order not to risk your data, select a simple export to a TXT file and then click the transfer button.
After these steps, the service will save a list of all your tracks on your PC in text file format. Next, its contents must be copied into a special field on the Yandex.Music import page. You can also upload the entire TXT file there.
After pressing the “Find” button, “Yandex” will display all the tracks in the list, well, or those that it can find in itself. The only thing left to do is to save everything into one playlist.

Convenient Musicbot in Telegram
This special Telegram bot works on a similar principle, extracting a list of your compositions and automatically inserting it into the Yandex import field.
Launch the bot and select Transfer Music. Next, point to Spotify and click on the “Login” link. After granting access to the service, the Convenient Musicbot will prompt you to choose to transfer all tracks or select playlists.
At the next step, you need to select the target service – “Yandex.Music”. A link to the resulting playlist will appear in the chat.
Clicking on the link will take you to the same import page where all your tracks have already been found. You can immediately save them to a playlist.

Soundiiz
Soundiiz is a powerful and functional playlist converter with Yandex.Music support. It works only after authorization in each service that you want to use. Simply put, you will have to enter your Yandex ID username and password.
In the free version, you can only transfer individual playlists, one at a time, where there are no more than 200 tracks. At the same time, everything works almost perfectly, unlike TuneMyMusic. The service recognizes a playlist in Spotify and independently creates the same one in Yandex.Music.
If you are ready to use Soundiiz, then open its website and connect the necessary services. Next, click Transfer, select Playlists, select Spotify as the source, and select a playlist.
Soundiiz will offer to change its name and description, as well as remove duplicate songs. After clicking Save Configuration, a list of tracks will open – if there are more than 200, then some will have to be excluded.
After pressing Confirm, it remains to select “Yandex.Music” and the transfer process will start. You don't have to do anything else – the playlist will already be created in Yandex.

After all the manipulations, you can prevent Soundiiz from accessing your accounts:
- in the case of Spotify, this is done on a special account page;
- for Yandex, you need to open “Passport”, expand the “Inputs and devices” list, click on “Devices, services and programs” and check the last access to the Yandex.Music service.
