Now that you have a better sense of what music service you’d like to switch to, it’s time to figure out how to get your curated music collection away from Spotify.

If you don’t have much music saved, it might not be too difficult to manually re-create your collection of playlists and liked songs in other services. Meanwhile, a cottage industry of companies that transfer music collections from one streaming service to another will let you ferry over a certain number of tracks free.

One service we tried, TuneMyMusic, lets you transfer 500 tracks between all the services mentioned above at no cost. The catch? If you’d prefer to transfer a larger music collection in one shot, it will cost you $4.50 a month to “convert” your entire library in one shot. (That is, unless you’ve decided to switch to Deezer — in that case, TuneMyMusic will transfer your all of your music over free.)

If 500 tracks is just the beginning of what you’ve saved in Spotify it’s well worth paying the $4.50 to have TuneMyMusic do it all for you — just make sure to cancel the subscription once you no longer need it. (Pro tip: This might be a good opportunity to use a burner card, which you can remotely cancel just to make sure you aren’t charged regularly.)

Another service, Soundiiz, lets you transfer your playlists from Spotify to a slew of other music services free, assuming you’re willing to transfer them one at a time. Removing that limitation — as well as transferring your full collection of albums and individual saved tracks — costs $4.50 a month, just like TuneMyMusic. Our advice: Take a little time to play around with Soundiiz’s playlist transfer tool. It’s not as immediately simple as TuneMyMusic, but you should be able to move a decent chunk of your collection over before you need to make a decision about paying for more.
