Steps
Open Spotify on your computer and log in to the account that holds the playlist you want to copy.
Find the playlist, click the three dots next to its name and choose Share, then Copy Playlist Link.
Log out of that account and sign in with the new Spotify account you want the playlist on.
Paste the copied link into the Spotify search bar or a browser tab and open the playlist page.
Select all the songs in the playlist with Ctrl+A on Windows or Cmd+A on Mac, then right-click and pick Add to playlist.
Choose New playlist and give it a name, or pick an existing empty playlist in the new account.
Open the new playlist and check the song count matches the original before you close anything.
Repeat the copy for each remaining playlist, or use a bulk transfer tool if you have many.
Tips and common mistakes
Private playlists cannot be opened from a link in another account, so make the playlist public first or copy it while still logged in.
Songs that are unavailable in your region or removed from Spotify will not carry over, so expect a few gaps.
For large libraries, a dedicated playlist transfer service saves time, but check what account access it asks for.
Questions
Can I copy a playlist without making it public?
Not from a link in another account. Make it public temporarily, copy it, then set it back to private.
Will the copied playlist update when the original changes?
No. A copy is a separate playlist, so later changes to the original do not appear in yours.
Does this work on the Spotify phone app?
Partly. Selecting all songs is easier on desktop, so use a PC or Mac for the full copy.
