## Description

Houdini Playlists is a Chrome extension that lets you transfer, sync, and share your music playlists across the biggest music apps. Move playlists between Apple Music, Spotify, and YouTube with minimal friction, and share them with friends so they can listen on their preferred app.

Note: An active Apple Music subscription is required to transfer playlists to or from Apple Music. For feedback, contact support@houdini.io.

## Review summary

Houdini Playlists is widely criticized in user reviews for being unreliable and outdated. Users report looping authorization screens and failed connections to Spotify and Apple Music, preventing transfers. When transfers do occur, they are incomplete or inaccurate, with many playlists showing zero songs or being filled with random tracks. Many reviewers also report being charged for a subscription or unable to restore purchases, with little or no support from the developer. The app appears unmaintained and often dismissed as a scam.

### Cons

- Authorization or connection loops prevent linking Spotify or Apple Music.
- Transfers are incomplete or inaccurate (missing songs, duplicates, or random replacements).
- Playlists often show 0 songs or fail to load.
- Subscription-based pricing with charges for a non-working service; restore purchases broken; refund issues.
- App appears outdated with no recent updates and poor/unresponsive support.
