But unfortunately, Apple only makes it seamless to move files only within its ecosystem. As a result, there’s no direct option on the Apple Music app to transfer your playlist to another independent app, like Spotify. However, we can still apply certain techniques to make it work. Let’s learn how to do it.
How to Transfer Apple Music to Spotify?
Since Apple Music doesn’t provide any setting to move your music library to Spotify, we’ll need to opt for importing files locally or third-party apps.
Importing Local Files Using iTunes
Although Apple doesn’t have a direct option, you can use the Local Files setting on Spotify. With this setting, you can freely transfer your playlist from either Apple Music or local folders on your PC. For this method to succeed, ensure your iTunes/Apple Music Library is updated with your desired playlists. Then, you can follow these steps: On DesktopYou can find all your imported songs here. If you wish to add any of the imported track to your existing playlists, right-click on it and click on Add to Playlist. Then, select your desired playlist.On Mobile
Using Third-Party Apps
You can use some helpful apps, like FreeYourMusic, Soundiiz, or Tunemymusic. Apps like these come with various useful features and are easy to use. However, it’s worth noting that these apps can charge you a certain amount of fees. Out of the most third-party apps, we found FreeYourMusic to be the easiest to use. You can get it on Android, iOS, macOS, and Linux. So, here’s an example of how you can transfer Apple Music to Spotify using this app. Now, you can go to Spotify and check out your library from Apple Music. If you don’t want to keep following these steps in the future, FreeYourMusic also lets you auto-sync your playlists. However, you can only access it with its premium plan.
How to Move Spotify Library to Apple Music?
If all your favorite tracks or playlists are on Spotify and you want to move them to Apple Music, you can refer to the same methods above. While selecting the source on the FreeYourMusic app, simply choose Spotify as the Source and then pick Apple Music as the destination. Then, follow the same methods and complete your transfer to Apple Music.
How to Transfer YouTube Music to Spotify?
Transferring your music data from YouTube Music to Spotify is the same as above. You can use any of the suggested third-party apps and select YouTube Music as the source. Similarly, you can pick Spotify as your destination platform. Then, you can complete the transfer process.
