The right way to transfer your Spotify playlists and songs to Apple Music

When planning a switch from Spotify to Apple Music, fret not about losing cherished tracks or playlists. Both platforms offer built-in tools to smoothly migrate your musical preferences. Apple Music, particularly for users already immersed in the iOS ecosystem, presents the simplest option. However, no Apple device is required to execute the transfer.

To commence the process, ensure you have an active Apple Music subscription and sign into the Spotify account you're migrating. Begin by launching Apple Music on your preferred device. If Sync Library remains inactive, navigate to Settings on a desktop or through the Settings app on iOS or iPadOS, and toggle it on under the General tab. For Android users, the path is similar—open Settings, tap Music, and locate Sync Library.

Now, open Apple Music and tap My Account on iOS or the More button on Android, then Settings. Seek the Transfer Music from Other Music Services option. On the web player, the same appears under the profile picture. Upon selecting Spotify, sign in, then choose the particular songs or playlists you wish to transfer and click Add to Library. Allow Apple Music time to locate corresponding tracks before receiving a Transfer Complete notification.

Occasionally, you might encounter Some Music Needs Review, indicating Apple Music couldn't find certain tracks in its library. In such cases, approve the closest matches available. The option to review alternate tracks stays accessible in Settings for 30 days, providing ample time to finalize the transfer before fully committing to your new music service.
