Own your music
Control, migrate, and share your playlists on your own terms — not the platform's.
Music Without Walls
One playlist format.
Every music service.
Open Playlist is a universal, open, and interoperable playlist format that any music service can adopt — so you can move, share, and enjoy your playlists without barriers, walled gardens, or vendor lock-in.

Why it matters
Music is for everyone, everywhere. Playlists should not be prisoners of platforms. By establishing an open standard, we defend the rights of listeners.
Real portability
Move seamlessly between services. Switch providers without leaving your playlists behind.
Let innovation thrive
An open format opens the door for new services, insights, and creativity to flourish.
How it works
Providers integrate by implementing adapters that translate between their proprietary format and the Open Playlist format. Four endpoints do the heavy lifting.
1
Adopt the format
Map your internal playlist and track data to the universal Open Playlist schema.
2
Import & export
Bring playlists in from any provider, and push them back out to any target service.
3
Match across platforms
Use ISRC codes, provider URIs, and fuzzy matching to keep tracks aligned everywhere.
