How to Convert a YouTube Playlist to Spotify in Seconds

You're watching a great music mix on YouTube and the description has a full tracklist with timestamps. You want those songs in Spotify, but manually searching for each one takes forever. Here's how to do it in under a minute with ListToTrack.

Why YouTube tracklists are hard to convert manually

Most YouTube music mixes, DJ sets, and compilation videos include a tracklist like this in the description:

Typical YouTube tracklist

00:00 Ben Böhmer - Beyond Beliefs

05:12 RÜFÜS DU SOL - Underwater

09:44 Jan Blomqvist - The Space in Between

14:30 Lane 8 - No Captain

19:15 Yotto - Wondering

The timestamps, special characters, and inconsistent formatting make it tedious to search each track individually on Spotify. That's exactly the problem ListToTrack solves.

3 steps to convert a YouTube tracklist

Copy the tracklist from YouTube

Open the YouTube video and expand the description. Select the entire tracklist — timestamps included— and copy it to your clipboard. Don't worry about cleaning up the formatting.

Paste it into ListToTrack

Go to ListToTrack and paste the text into the text box. Our AI parser automatically strips timestamps, separates artist names from track titles, and handles special characters and remix tags.

Connect Spotify and create your playlist

Click "Connect Spotify" to link your account, give your playlist a name, and hit "Create Playlist." ListToTrack searches Spotify for each track, shows you the results in real time, and adds the found tracks to your new playlist.

Supported formats

ListToTrack handles all common YouTube tracklist formats:

⏱️Timestamps

00:00 Artist - Song — timestamps are stripped automatically

🔢Numbered lists

1. Artist - Song — numbering is removed cleanly

📎Any separator

Dashes, pipes, colons, arrows — all recognized

🎛️Remix & feat. tags

Parenthetical tags like (Remix) and feat. credits handled

If a track can't be found on Spotify (rare remixes, region-locked content), it's clearly marked with a ❌ — the rest still get added to your playlist.
