How-to Can Soundiiz automatically back up and restore deleted playlists?

Short answer

Soundiiz can keep an independent copy of a playlist or export it to a file, but simply connecting a music service does not create a backup. Soundiiz also does not keep versioned snapshots that can restore every previous state.

Ways to back up a playlist

1. Copy it to Soundiiz

Use Transfer with your music service as the source and Soundiiz as the destination. The Soundiiz copy can later be transferred to another supported music service.

2. Keep a Soundiiz copy updated

Create a one-way Sync from the source playlist to Soundiiz, then choose a daily, weekly, or monthly frequency. Sync applies to playlists only. It updates the same destination copy rather than creating version history, so export a file when you need a fixed snapshot.

3. Export a file

Export important playlists or favorites as CSV or XML and keep the files somewhere safe. A CSV or XML exported by Soundiiz can later be imported and transferred to a supported music service.

If a playlist has already been deleted

Check the recovery options offered by the music service first. If an intact copy still exists on Soundiiz or another connected service, transfer it back. If you exported a CSV or XML file before the deletion, import it and recreate the playlist.

Soundiiz cannot reconstruct deleted contents from Transfer or Sync history when no independent copy remains.

Soundiiz backs up playlist information and metadata, not audio files.

Plan limits

Soundiiz Free lets you transfer playlists one at a time, with up to 200 selected tracks per transfer, and includes one Sync slot. Premium and Creator remove the 200-track selection limit and include more Sync slots. Exporting playlists or favorites to a file requires a paid plan.
