How to Combine Spotify Playlists Quickly and Easily

How to Combine Playlists on Spotify: The Ultimate Guide to Merging Your Music

Whether you are trying to consolidate multiple workout mixes into one ultimate powerhouse playlist, combine your road trip anthems with a friend’s, or clean up years of scattered saved tracks, organizing your music library can feel like a daunting task.

Surprisingly, Spotify still doesn’t feature a single, magical “Merge Playlists” button. However, there are several fast, easy workarounds and native features to get the job done—whether you want to permanently fuse two lists or create a collaborative hybrid experience.

Here is everything you need to know about combining playlists on Spotify.

Method 1: The “Add to Other Playlist” Shortcut (Mobile & Desktop)

If you want to permanently copy the contents of one playlist into another, you can do it directly within the Spotify app without having to drag and drop tracks one by one.

1. Open the source playlist (the one whose songs you want to copy).
2. Tap or click the three dots (…) menu icon near the playlist title.
3. Select “Add to other playlist”.
4. Choose the destination playlist where you want all the songs to land.
5. Pro Tip: Once transferred, you can safely delete the original source playlist if you no longer need it.

Note for Desktop Users: You can also use Ctrl + A (Windows) or Cmd + A (Mac) inside a playlist to multi-select all tracks, then right-click to add them directly to a target playlist in bulk.

Method 2: The Queue-to-Playlist Trick

If you want to merge three or four different playlists into a brand-new master playlist quickly, the queue method is a massive time-saver.

1. Clear your current Play Queue so you start with a blank slate.
2. Open your first playlist and Add to Queue (you can usually add the whole playlist to the queue at once).
3. Repeat this process for any other playlists you want to combine, adding them sequentially to the queue.
4. Go to your Now Playing view, open the menu options, and select “Create playlist” (or save the queue as a new playlist depending on your current app interface).
5. Name your new mega-playlist, and your combined queue will be saved permanently as a new collection.

Method 3: Use Spotify Blend to Combine Tastes with Someone Else

If your goal isn’t just merging files, but blending your music taste with a friend, partner, or favorite creator, Spotify Blend is designed specifically for this.

• How it works: Blend creates a shared, dynamic playlist combining tracks from both users’ libraries, complete with taste-match scores that update regularly.
• How to set it up:
  1. Open the Spotify mobile app and go to Search.
  2. Select the Made for You hub.
  3. Tap “Create a Blend” and invite a friend via text, social media, or link.
  4. Once they accept, Spotify automatically generates your shared playlist.

Method 4: Third-Party Transfer and Merge Tools

If you have massive libraries or want to merge playlists while automatically filtering out duplicate songs, dedicated third-party tools can bridge the gap. Services like FreeYourMusic, TuneMyMusic, or various web utilities allow you to connect your Spotify account, select multiple source playlists, and merge them into a single destination playlist with just a few clicks.

• Security Note: Always make sure you revoke app permissions from third-party services in your Spotify account settings page once you are finished managing your playlists.

Final Thoughts

While a native, one-click merge button is still a heavily requested feature on the Spotify Community forums, these built-in shortcuts and workarounds make organizing your library easier than ever. Whether you choose a bulk-transfer method on desktop or whip up a fresh queue-based master mix, your ultimate soundtrack is just a few clicks away.
