How to Combine Spotify Playlists Into One Master Playlist

How to Combine Playlists on Spotify: The Ultimate Guide

Whether you are trying to merge your “Indie Road Trip” and “Summer Vibes” collections or curate a massive master workout list, combining playlists on Spotify is a game-changer. Over the years, Spotify has introduced several built-in ways to organize, merge, and even seamlessly transition between your favorite tracks.

If you want to clean up your library and bring multiple playlists together, here is a complete guide on how to combine your Spotify playlists effortlessly.

Method 1: The Desktop App Trick (Fastest Official Method)

If you have access to a computer, the Spotify desktop app makes it simple to multi-select tracks and move them into a single master playlist.

1. Open the Desktop App: Launch Spotify on your Mac or PC.
2. Open the First Playlist: Click on the playlist you want to copy songs from.
3. Select All Songs:
   • Click the first song in the list.
   • Press and hold the Shift key, then click the last song to highlight the entire tracklist.
   • Alternatively, use Ctrl + A (Windows) or Cmd + A (Mac) to select all songs.
4. Add to a Playlist: Right-click the highlighted tracks, hover over Add to playlist, and either select an existing master playlist or click New playlist.
5. Repeat and Clean Up: Go to your other source playlists and repeat the process. Once all songs are safely in your new combined playlist, you can delete the old, redundant playlists if you want to tidy up your library.

Method 2: Using the Mobile App (“Add to Other Playlist”)

You don’t necessarily need a computer to merge music. The mobile app features a built-in function to transfer tracks directly.

1. Open the Spotify mobile app and go to the playlist you want to empty/merge.
2. Tap the three dots (…) menu icon near the top of the playlist.
3. Scroll down and select Add to other playlist.
4. Choose the destination playlist where you want the tracks to land.
5. Once transferred, you can delete the original playlist from your library.

Method 3: Using Third-Party Playlist Merging Tools

If you have massive libraries or want an automated solution without manually copying tracks, various web-based community tools (such as Spotify Playlist Merger or Skiley) utilize the official Spotify API.

• How they work: You log in securely with your Spotify account, select the two or more playlists you wish to fuse, and the tool automatically generates a brand-new combined playlist containing all unique tracks.
• Note: Always use trusted third-party applications and revoke their access in your Spotify account settings page when you are finished if you prefer strict privacy.

Bonus: Take It Further with Spotify’s “Mix” Feature

Once you’ve successfully combined your playlists, Spotify Premium users can take things a step further using the built-in Mix feature. Instead of just playing tracks back-to-back, Mix allows you to apply automatic or customized transitions (adjusting volume curves, EQs, and filters) so your newly combined playlist flows like an uninterrupted DJ set:

• Open your newly created playlist.
• Tap or click the Mix button to turn on seamless transitions.
• Customize the crossfades, volume balancing, and filters to fit your musical vibe.

With these methods, you can transform a cluttered library into streamlined, powerhouse playlists tailored precisely to your mood.
