Spotify is full of playlists, including those created by you, by Spotify, and by other users. For playlists you don’t own, you typically cannot delete tracks or add new ones. The only exception is a Collaborative Playlist. If the owner invites you as a collaborator, you will be able to edit the tracks.
For all other playlists you don’t own, your only option to prevent a song from playing is to hide the song. For complete editing control, you must duplicate the entire playlist or copy only the songs you want, allowing you to edit the new playlist freely.
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 you can use it on either a desktop or mobile device. Here’s how:
On Mobile
On Desktop
If you only want to copy part of a playlist, you’ll need to use the Spotify app on your desktop or the web player, as this functionality is not available on mobile. The desktop interface allows you to select individual or multiple tracks to add to a new or existing playlist.
Some third-party apps offer an efficient way to directly copy the entire Spotify playlist to your Library from its link. This is particularly useful if you have several playlists to transfer or already have a playlist URL. It saves you the trouble of opening the Spotify app and go through each playlist individually.
Copyfi is one of such free online tools allowing you to copy 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, including copied ones, 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 extract Spotify songs/playlists/albums/podcasts and convert them 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.
