How to import a Demus playlist into Lyra

Updated on October 19, 2026

Lyra imports Demus playlists from their .playlist file. In Demus, open the playlist, tap the share button and pick Lyra; or save the .playlist file and, in Lyra, go to Library → Import playlist → Import from Demus → Select Playlist File, then tap Import. The playlist keeps its Demus name and order.

Step by step

1. 1Share or save the playlist in Demus

   In Demus, open the playlist and tap the share button. Pick Lyra from the share menu to send it straight to Lyra, or save the .playlist file to Files.

2. 2Open Import from Demus in your Lyra library

   If you saved the file, open Lyra, tap Library, then the Import playlist tile (or the + button at the top) and choose Import from Demus.

   

3. 3Select the .playlist file

   Tap Select Playlist File and pick the file exported from Demus. Lyra shows the playlist with its songs.

   

4. 4Tap Import

   Tap Import: the playlist is added to the top of your Library, with a cover made by Lyra.

   

Differences by device

Good to know

• Only .playlist files exported from Demus can be imported.
• The playlist keeps the name it has in Demus (or, if the file has none, the file name), and its songs keep the Demus order, newest additions first.
• An import is a one-time copy: changes made in Demus later don't reach Lyra.

If something goes wrong

“Invalid Demus playlist file”

The file isn't a Demus .playlist export, or it was damaged. Export it from Demus again and pick the new file.

Lyra doesn't appear in the share menu

Save the .playlist file to Files instead, then pick it with Select Playlist File.
