I decided today that it was time to migrate my collection of Spotify and Tidal playlists to Qobuz. I’m about to cancel my Tidal subscription because I’m no longer using it, so I’m just wasting money on it.
As for Spotify, I cancelled my subscription years ago and my account reverted to the Free level. I used to find it occasionally useful as lots of people still put up public playlists there. Now that Spotify’s CEO has seemingly put a very big chunk of his money into the Arms Industry, I’m no longer willing to support them in any way. Thus I wanted to migrate my playlist collection off Spotify so that I can then delete or unfollow them all on that service.
I realised today as I made a start that there are a large number of Word Magazine playlists on Spotty. I think at one point they were putting one there for every issue of the magazine. Also year-end Best-Ofs etc. Also a few from Saint David Hepworth and even one from Fraser Lewry.
Anyone else here collected them?
Hi – great decision to move to Qobuz – it was the best move I made, mostly for ethical reasons too – not least the fact that they pay the artists we listen to up to 10x the rates paid on other popular services.
Sound quality is exceptional & I’m listening to more than i have done for years.
As to your question, sorry I dont have what you are after but have you tried Soundiiz which will migrate playlists from elsewhere into Qobuz, I hear its very good.

I’ve been using Soundiiz today to migrate my playlists. It works OK, though it’s a bit laborious unless you buy a subscription, as you can only do one list at a time with the free version.
Quite a few of the lists I’ve migrated so far have some tracks unavailable on Qobuz, but I’m not complaining.
I’m not looking for these Word/Word-related playlists as I already have them. Possibly all of them, I don’t know.
I was just wondering if other AW-ers knew that they existed. Interesting to see/hear what was exciting them in the Word office back then.
Presuming the playlists correspond to magazine issues, there are playlists for issues 91-113 plus Word Noughties 2002-2009 lists, 1975 and 1988 lists, 2009 and 2011 Festive 50 lists etc.etc.
I have the following playlist’s from The Word ;-
WORD Summer in your heart
Sun and the World Cup
WORD 1988
WORD Quality Friday
WORD Noughties2009
WORD 1975
The Words Infinite Playlist
The Infinite Playlist was the first one and we were all invited to add as many songs as we liked. I remember adding Too You by I Am Kloot, which Mark Ellen said he had never heard but he liked. The playlist lasts for 32h 17m. I may have an hours worth today just for old time’s sake.
I’d forgotten I had them, but I’ve got individual years gathered up into annual playlists, 2004-2012 complete – or mostly, because some tracks have disappeared.
They’re public – look for willboot.
