What you need
Steps
Open the Spotify app on your Windows or Mac computer and log in to the account you want to copy the playlist into.
Create a new empty playlist in that account and give it a name you will recognise.
Open the playlist you want to copy. It must be public or otherwise visible to you.
Click the first song in the playlist, then press Ctrl + A on Windows or Cmd + A on Mac to select every song.
Drag the selected songs onto the new playlist in the left sidebar and drop them there.
Open the new playlist and scroll through to confirm the songs were added in order.
Tips and common mistakes
The playlist you copy must be public, so private playlists will not open for you.
Selecting all songs can take a moment on very long playlists, so wait before dragging.
If the drag does not work, right-click the selection and use Add to playlist instead.
Mobile apps cannot do this, so use a computer even if you normally listen on your phone.
Questions
Can I copy a Spotify playlist on my phone?
No. The copy and drag method only works in the Spotify desktop app on Windows or Mac. Use a computer to duplicate the playlist.
Does copying a playlist remove it from the original account?
No. You are only adding the songs to a new playlist in your account. The original playlist stays unchanged for its owner.
Why can't I select all the songs?
Make sure you clicked a song first so the list has focus. Then press Ctrl + A on Windows or Cmd + A on Mac.
