How to get your Spotify data export

A step-by-step guide to requesting and uploading your Spotify data

Why do I need to do this?

  • Spotify lets an app like Tunarc connect only 5 Spotify accounts at a time. Your data export lets you move your library without connecting Spotify.
  • ISRCs are how we match your Spotify tracks to the same songs on Tidal and other platforms.
  • Your export contains each track's Spotify ID and name. Tunarc uses them to look up the track's ISRC.

How to request your data from Spotify

  1. Go to spotify.com/account/privacy
  2. Scroll down to "Download your data"
  3. Select "Account data". It contains your playlists and library.
  4. Click "Request data"
  5. Spotify will email you when your data is ready
  6. Download the ZIP file from the email link

Only the "Account data" package works with Tunarc. "Extended streaming history" holds your listening history but not your playlists or library, and Tunarc cannot read it.

How to upload your data to Tunarc

  1. Once you have the ZIP or JSON file from Spotify
  2. Go to the Upload page
  3. Drag and drop your file, or click "Browse files"
  4. Wait for processing to complete
  5. You will see how many tracks were found

Frequently asked questions

What data does Tunarc use?

Your playlists (names, descriptions and dates), liked songs, saved albums and followed artists, with track, artist and album names and Spotify IDs. Other files in the export, such as your account details and streaming history, are not stored.

Is my data safe?

Your library data is stored with your account so you can sync it. We delete an upload once it is 60 days old and you haven't synced for 60 days, or right away when you click "Delete my data" in your dashboard.

How long does processing take?

Up to a few minutes for large libraries.

Can I upload multiple files?

Upload the whole ZIP at once. A new upload replaces the previous one.
