Playlist Import

Import playlists from other streaming services using fuzzy track matching:

Supported Sources

• Spotify
• Apple Music
• Tidal
• Deezer

How It Works

1. Go to Playlists and click Import
2. Paste the playlist URL from the source service
3. QBZ searches Qobuz for matching tracks using fuzzy matching
4. Review the matches and confirm the import

Fuzzy matching handles differences in track titles, artist names, and album names between services. You can review and adjust matches before importing.
