You Can Now Directly Import Apple Music Playlists to Spotify.
If you’ve been building playlists on Apple Music or another streaming service for years, you can now easily transfer them to your Spotify library without starting from scratch or paying extra for third-party services. Playlist transfer is now built into Spotify thanks to a new integration with TuneMyMusic , making it easy to sync, share, transfer, and back up music between platforms.
To begin transferring a playlist from Apple Music or another streaming service (YouTube Music, Amazon Music, SoundCloud, etc.), open the Spotify mobile app and tap “Your Library.” Scroll down, tap “Import Music” > “Get Started,” and follow the on-screen instructions to connect to TuneMyMusic. You can select the platform to transfer your music to, and your playlists will appear in Spotify. Your playlists will remain on the original platform, as they are simply copied to Spotify. (This feature is currently rolling out to users, so you may need to update your Spotify app.)
Data portability between music streaming services was quite limited, but it’s getting better: TuneMyMusic was already compatible with Spotify, but users had to sign up for a free trial and were limited to storing 500 songs before upgrading to a paid plan. ( Other third-party playlist transfer tools include FreeYourMusic and Soundiiz .)
Apple Music has music transfer built into iOS and iPadOS (under Settings > Apps > Music ), as well as in the Apple Music app for Android and via the web browser. YouTube Music supports importing and exporting playlists, but platforms that don’t support direct transfer require a third-party service.
