Found a great public Spotify playlist and want to delete a few skip-worthy tracks or add your own favorites?
Because Spotify prevents you from directly editing playlists you don’t own (unless the creator sets it as Collaborative), you can’t change the tracklist directly. However, there is an easy solution: duplicating the playlist. By creating your own copy, you can freely add, remove, and reorder songs as you like.
In this guide, we’ll break down 4 fast ways to copy any Spotify playlist on desktop, mobile, or via web tools.

Spotify’s “Add to other playlist” feature lets you instantly copy all tracks from any playlist to a new or existing playlist you own. You don’t even need to add the source playlist to your library to use this function.
This feature is available to both Free and Premium users and can be used on desktop or mobile devices. Here’s how:
If you only want to copy selected songs from a public playlist rather than the whole playlist, the fastest way is to use the Spotify Desktop App or Web Player. While you can copy songs one by one on the mobile app, desktop lets you bulk-select multiple tracks at once.
Some third-party tools offer an efficient way to copy Spotify playlists directly from links. This is particularly useful if you have several playlists to transfer or already have playlist links. It saves you the trouble of going through each playlist individually.
Copyfi is one such free online tool allowing you to copy a Spotify playlist from the link. It requires access to your Spotify account to operate.
Spotify’s offline listening feature is exclusive to Premium subscribers, who can download albums and playlists to listen without internet. However, with a smart downloader such as Pazu Spotify Converter, you can also save Spotify playlists for offline listening with a Free account. It can convert Spotify music to various formats, including WAV, MP3, M4A, AIFF, FLAC, and AAC. After downloading, you can freely transfer the files to any compatible device or media player for offline enjoyment.
Here is how you can use Pazu Spotify Music Converter to download Spotify songs with a free account.
Download, install, and run Pazu Spotify Converter on your Mac or Windows. Log in to your Spotify account with the built-in web player.
Click the gear icon in the top right corner. Here you can select the output format, choose output audio quality, customize the output path, organize the output files in various ways, rename output files, and more.
Use the integrated Spotify web player to search for the songs, albums, or playlists you want to download. Click the Add to List button to load all songs in the album or playlist.

Click the Convert button to start downloading the Spotify songs to your local computer.
