The switching cost is actually quite large as you can't export or import playlists (at least from Spotify).

People spend years building up their playlists for all manner of situations. They become emmotionally and functionally attached to these playlists.

@tjex You can export playlists from Spotify just fine? Right from the various applications and web player.

Well, sure. But this is only useful if you can handle json or are up for finding the right service to export to an end format that you want.

And the only usefulness of this is if you can import your playlists.

You have the titles, albums and artists from your playlist, but no way of listening to them (easily). Thats a high switching cost.

@tjex @thomholwerda this is not true. I have exported playlists from Spotify into Qobuz before and while there were a couple of tracks that weren't there, the playlist worked just fine.

@thomholwerda @tjex its very easy and free on Qobuz via Soundiiz. Imports playlists mostly intact.

Start transfer screen in Qobuz menu
