Step 1 Launch TuneCable Spotify Downloader and log in to your Spotify account in the pop-up Spotify app or Spotify web player. Return to the main interface and click the three-dot button in the upper right corner. Select "Back Up Spotify Music Library".
Step 2 In the new pop-up window, you can view the backed-up Spotify account information and specific backup content (including saved songs, videos, podcasts, albums, artists, and playlists). You can choose to automatically back up your Spotify library every time you launch the app. This ensures your music library data is backed up regularly for future use. Of course, you are free to choose the storage path where the backup files are saved. Next, click the "Back Up Now" button, and TuneCable will immediately scan all your Spotify playlists, favorite songs, albums, artists, podcasts, and more within your Spotify account. Then, it will back them up to your local computer, preserving them exactly as they were.
Step 3 When the backup is done, simply hit the "Complete" button to conclude. If you would like to take a look at the backup files saved on your computer, just click the "Open Backup File" button. This gives you direct access to all your backed-up data on the local drive.
Once you have the backup files of your Spotify library on your computer, you can easily restore the deleted playlists, songs, videos, podcasts, and other Spotify content to their original state with a single click, without worrying about any data loss.
Unlike Spotify's official playlist recovery feature, TuneCable Spotify Downloader's Spotify library recovery feature has no limit for restoration. Not only self-created playlists, but also public playlists, as well as collected artists and albums, can be restored to their original state, completely unaffected by the passage of time. Whether 90 days, a year, or even more time has passed, you can still restore the backup to your Spotify account at any point. Now, follow the steps below to restore your Spotify library!
Step 1 Log into the Spotify account that you want to restore the backup to. After logging in, locate the three-dot icon in the top right corner and click on it. Next, simply hit "Restore Spotify Music Library" from the drop-down tab, and the backup file list will appear.
*Tips: If you want to restore the backed-up Spotify library to a new account, you should log in to the new one in this step.
Step 2 Select one of the backup files from the list. If you're unsure which one, click the "View Contents" button to confirm. If the backup file isn't in the list, click the "Select Another Local Backup File" button to locate other backups. After making your selection, click the "Start Restore" button to restore your Spotify music library immediately.
Step 3 All that's left to do is wait patiently. Your backed-up Spotify library will be completely recovered to your current Spotify account. Once it is finished, simply click on the "Restore Complete" button to end.
It depends on which type of playlists you saved. For the self-created playlists, the playlist URL will be invalid once you have deleted it. And after 90 days, you will not be able to recover it manually on Spotify. Even if you keep the playlist URL, you will only get a "Couldn't find that playlist" error upon accessing the playlist URL. For the playlists that are created by others, there is some possibility to recover. As long as the playlist creator did not close it, you can save it to your Spotify library again at any time. However, as the playlist might be updated by the creator as time goes by, the playlist content you receive may not be exactly the same as the original.

Yes, this feature is available to all users. Whether you have a free or premium account, you can try to recover self-created playlists deleted within the last 90 days by referring to the steps in Part 2.
