WIRED: You Can’t Do Squat About Spotify’s Eerie New Privacy Policy (UPDATED)īig Mood Machine Spotify has plans to analyze playlists and target advertising based on the emotional mood of the listener.By connecting Spotify and Last.fm accounts, scrobbling can be turned on in Account Settings, saving each track 'listen' to a service with a stronger history of data preservation and user access.Ī recent privacy policy update was critiqued by WIRED, which caused Spotify to clarify: Whilst not the same as a single batched data export, Spotify's native integration with Last.fm's scrobbling service enables real-time data duplication with minimal hassle. Jamie Tanna has found that emailing support requesting the full data (see links below) will provide the full data (in Jamie's case, 2011-2019). This appears to only have ~1 year of full music streaming data, however. Under it is possible to export your data from Spotify. Whilst primarily focused on enabling people to easily switch between services, there are also 'File Backup' options that will generate a CSV of songs, albums, and playlists. This helps you maintain data independence and reduces reliance on 3rd party services.įreeYourMusic is a paid service that enables cross-platform syncing for music libraries and playlists between popular streaming services, including Spotify, Apple Music, and Amazon Music.

All of this is done client-side in the browser. It encodes playlist data in CSVs and zips the files for download. SaveMyMix (page no longer resolves as of ) is a quick and easy tool for exporting your playlist data from Spotify (more services coming soon).
