In the meantime, we’ve also added support for iOS, Android, and many new music services. We’ve experimented with different pricing models: it was 5€ at beginning, then 12€, and after some tests we saw that a 9€ price mark for FreeYourMusic works the best. Now, after one five years, our average monthly revenue is around 20,000€ levels. The first month we made over 15,000€ in revenue because of ProductHunt, but the next few months were much smaller (around 6,000€). For the first few months we had to work 16 hours/day: half for our full-time jobs and the other half for FreeYourMusic. We had so much stuff to do that I had to take a week off work. I went back to work and saw people buying licenses all day long. We got our first payment within 5 minutes and then went to sleep for a few hours. Then my brother said, “Hey, let’s make it better and start selling it!” So my brother Mike, our friend Chris and I, got together and spent all night creating a proper app. I thought, “All of this because I made a small script after work? Nice.” At the beginning it was free, but people could donate money via a “buy me a beer” button -) The first day I got reviewed in multiple newspapers and online magazines, got 20k unique visitors to the website, and made 97€ in donations. I figured what I built could be useful for others, so I made a small website and posted it on ProductHunt. Once FYM has properly identified all the songs, it will create a playlist in Spotify.Īdding multiple sources and destinations is always a bit tricky, as they are so different from each other! some services use “” and others “(feat)”. Then it will perform a search in Spotify with a little bit of magic to properly match songs, e.g. FreeYourMusic will then fetch all your playlists with song titles, author names, and albums from Apple Music. First you log in with your account to one streaming service (for example Apple Music), and then you log into another (let’s say Spotify). After a few hours of playing with Apple Script, I created an app that literally just used the mouse to click things in iTunes: search for a song -> click more -> click to add music -> repeat.

Moving 3000 songs manually would’ve taken me hours, so I tried to figure out how to automate the process. Usually someone develops a tool like FreeYourMusic, but after waiting 2 weeks I noticed that there still wasn’t anything there. Immediately after the release of Apple Music (in 2015), I really wanted to switch from Spotify so I could try it out. I wanted to share with you how a small script I wrote for myself turned into a profitable business (the company is approaching 6 years).

Most of our customers are simply people who want to switch to a different provider and take their playlists with them. FreeYourMusic allows you transfer your playlists across music streaming services, e.g. Hi all, I’m a full-stack web developer from Poland and together with my twin brother, we built FreeYourMusic.
