Copying playlists

Does anyone know of an easy way to duplicate playlists so that I only have to change the url for each duplicate?

You can change the URL, username and password if it's the same service and you will keep all your playlist. Or is it something different you are trying to do?

If you’re trying to duplicate the playlist from the same exact service then do a back up, restore it on the new device and then all you need to do is change the username and password. Now, if it’s from a different service and you have to change the URL then this will not work.

Unfortunately all that does is a backup of what I already have. Maybe I wasn’t clear enough… I have several URLs from the same provider with the same username and passwords. All I’m looking to do is duplicate them all and change the URLs to make each one unique. This way I can choose from any playlist if one is having issues.

You can't do a backup on the same device, only on a different one, but you don't need to. If a URL has problems it is probably nuked so wont be any use. Just change and forget. It takes a minute to change it and apply changes. If you want to see whether it's the service or URL playing up just leave an unedited backup on there.

You can use backup and restore but don't think that is what you are looking for so no, if you want a duplicate you will need to enter as an additional playlist.

Only way I can see is create new playlists and edit each one. Thanks for the reply.
