Master Your Music: How to Easily Combine Spotify Playlists

Whether you are trying to consolidate a decade’s worth of workout anthems, merge separate road trip mixes into one mega-playlist, or blend your musical taste with a friend, managing your library efficiently is a game-changer.

While Spotify doesn’t have a single magical button labeled “Merge All,” combining your playlists is surprisingly quick and straightforward once you know the right workflows.


Method 1: The Native “Add to Other Playlist” Feature (Mobile & Desktop)

If you want to merge two of your existing playlists into a single master collection, you don’t need to drag and drop tracks one by one.

  1. Open the Source Playlist: Launch Spotify on your mobile device or computer and open the playlist you want to copy tracks from.
  2. Access the Menu: Tap or click the three-dot menu icon (...) located near the top of the playlist.
  3. Select the Target: Scroll down and choose “Add to other playlist”.
  4. Choose Your Destination: Select the master playlist where you want all the tracks to land.
  5. Clean Up: Once transferred, you can safely delete the original source playlist to keep your library clutter-free.

Tip for Desktop Users: On the desktop app, you can hold down Ctrl (Windows) or Cmd (Mac) to multi-select multiple consecutive or individual tracks, right-click, and choose Add to playlist.


Method 2: Create a Spotify “Blend” for Shared Tastes

If your goal isn’t just merging your own personal folders, but combining your music library with a friend, partner, or family member, Spotify’s Blend feature does the heavy lifting for you.

  • How to set it up: Open the mobile app, navigate to Search, and open the Made for You hub.
  • Tap and Invite: Select “Create a Blend”, then tap “Invite” to share an invitation link with a friend via text or messaging.
  • The Result: Once your friend accepts, Spotify generates a dynamic shared playlist that updates regularly, combining both of your favorite styles and displaying how your music tastes match up.
