First off, music remains one of the greatest gifts to humanity. There’s a reason it’s called the universal language — a vessel for emotional, cultural, religious, social, political, historical, personal, and artistic expression that transcends borders and speaks to the core of our shared humanity.

Second, the advent of music streaming platforms has made accessing this treasure more convenient. But even with this ease, there’s still one nagging issue: the division of our libraries is scattered across different platforms.

If you’re an adventurous listener, you’ve likely experienced the frustration of your playlists and favourite songs dispersed across various services. Or what about when you want to switch entirely from one streaming platform to another? These platforms don’t make breaking up with or cheating on them easy, but that’s only a problem because you haven’t heard about Soundiiz.  

What Is Soundiiz?

Soundiiz is a free third-party platform designed for one purpose: to liberate your music library. At its core, Soundiiz enables users to transfer or link playlists from one streaming service to another. 

Whether it’s Spotify, Apple Music, Deezer, Tidal, Amazon Music, YouTube Music, or others I didn’t mention, Soundiiz’s easy-to-use interface enables you to interchange your playlists on these platforms. The best part? You can even transfer playlists that aren’t yours.

Time-saving? Absolutely. But beyond this convenience, it’s important to underline the fact that Soundiiz places a 200-songs per playlist limit for the free version. 

This kind of seems like a fair trade for convenience, but if you’re the type that doesn’t like free things, Soundiiz’s premium plan is priced at $4.50 per month. The platform has never been about profit. It was founded out of personal necessity by friends Thomas Magnano and Benoit Herbreteau who have remained the only employees since the platform’s launch in 2013.

Even after a groundbreaking partnership with Jay Z’s Tidal in 2015, the founders didn’t focus on wealth generation. In a recent interview with TechCrunch, Magnano and Herbreteau revealed that they’ve never invested in marketing — a staggering achievement given that they’ve facilitated the transfer of over 250 million playlists.
