We were both reluctant to change our music streaming app because we had spent years selecting playlists that were perfect for our tastes. 馃幍

The thought of starting from scratch with a new app was daunting. We would have to build our playlists from scratch, and there was a chance we might not find some of our favourite artists on another platform.

But last month we discovered Soundiiz 馃嚝馃嚪 and it was exactly what we needed. 馃榾

Soundiiz is a platform created by Thomas Magnano and Benoit Herbreteau - both from France 馃嚝馃嚪. It helps users manage and transfer music playlists between different streaming services, which is useful for people who use multiple music streaming services.

It supports more than 40 music platforms such as Spotify, Apple Music, Deezer, Qobuz etc.

Soundiiz main features:
- quickly convert playlists from one service to another
- keep playlists up to date across platforms
- manage your entire music collection, including playlists and favourites, in one place

The platform offers many other features and is particularly useful for sharing playlists with people who don't use the same platform as you.

Ps.: To subscribe to Soundizz, we used a voucher code we found on Qobuz blog: https://help.qobuz.com/en/articles/58315-how-to-transfer-your-playlists-for-free-with-soundiiz

Using Soundiiz turned out to be even better than we expected. 馃檪 The best part is that it not only imports and exports your playlists but also shows which songs, artists, or albums couldn't be found in the new app.

You can analyze the batch import results directly in the interface or download them in CSV format. This helps you see how many songs from a specific playlist were successfully imported and which artists or albums couldn't be found.

For us, it was crucial to check the availability of tracks on the competitor platform. Since the app we previously used was the most popular worldwide, it had a much larger global repertoire of artists and songs. If you enjoy listening to music from different parts of the world, a US-focused app might not be satisfying.

In our case, most tracks were found on the new platform, but some niche playlists had a lower success rate (46%).

The availability of your fav music may influence your decision to migrate. If the new platform lacks songs from your fav artists, you might reconsider. But if you can live without some missing tracks, at least you know which ones are unavailable.

Most platforms allow you to request missing songs or artists, so don't hesitate to ask.

And then it's time to test the other app to see if you like the features, etc. But that's another story :)
