How to Transfer Spotify Playlists to Apple Music (2024)

While Spotify’s recommendations and catalog are top-notch, the absence of Hi-Res and Lossless audio is probably making the ever-growing audiophile in you feel excessively limited. So, it’s understandable if you’re thinking about shifting over to Apple Music, which brings all those features to the table. But, starting all over again from scratch on a different service can be annoying. In that case, you can easily transfer your Spotify playlists to Apple Music and resume your listening. To help you out, we have listed the simplest ways to do that, so let’s take a look!

Sadly, Spotify and Apple Music don’t have a native functionality to let you transfer playlists. So, that leaves you at the mercy of third-party tools. While there are a lot of such third-party apps and tools out there that let you transfer your Spotify playlists to Apple Music, Tune My Music and Playlisty worked the best for me.

1. Using Tune My Music

The best thing about Tune My Music is that you don’t need an app to execute the transfer of your Spotify playlists to Apple Music. Instead, you can head over to your PC or mobile’s desired browser and access the web version. So, we used Microsoft Edge on a Windows PC to outline the steps. Take a look:

• Firstly, head over to Tune My Music and click on the Let’s start button.

• Then, from the list of available apps, click on the Spotify icon.

• In the pop-up window, login to your Spotify account and click on Agree to “Allow Spotify to connect to: TuneMyMusic”.

• On the next page, select Load from Spotify account.

• Your playlists will load up in a while. Here, select the playlists that you want to transfer by clicking on the adjacent checkbox.
• You can also expand the playlists by hovering over the side-pointing adjacent arrow, which then becomes a down arrow. Then, you can select specific songs to transfer from your Spotify playlists this way.
• Once done, select Choose Destination from the bottom and select the Apple Music icon from the list of available icons.

• Then, just like with Spotify, you will need to login to your Apple Music account. Once that’s done, hit Start Transfer.

Note: if you have selected your Favorite Artists too from Spotify who are not available on Apple Music, TuneMyMusic will let you know that “Artists are not transferable to Apple Music”.

• Your playlists will start transferring and the process ends rather quickly displaying the “Transfer completed!” window.

And, that’s it. You can simply head over to your Apple Music to find the transferred Spotify playlists. Note that during the transfer process, you will see some tracks being “missing”. This indicates that those tracks are missing in Apple Music’s catalog itself.

While music streaming services these days mostly share the same catalog, a lot of underrated tracks will still not be available across all of them. Also, TuneMyMusic’s free version lets you transfer 500 tracks. To transfer more, you will need to grab the premium which starts at $2 per month, billed annually. The monthly plan will set you at $4.5.

2. Using Playlisty (iOS Only)

While users across the different platforms can use Tune My Music to transfer their Spotify playlists to Apple Music, iOS users can make use of another handy tool called Playlisty (Download, free). To use this iOS-only app, follow these steps:

• Right off the bat when you open the Playlisty app, you will be asked to Link your account (Apple Music). So, tap on it and log in to your Apple Music account. If the service is already added to your device, Playlisty will automatically log you in.
• Then, in the access panel, tap on Allow. Next, Playlisty will let you know that your Apple Music account has been linked successfully.

• Here, tap on Link Spotify and log in to your Spotify account. Hit Agree in the “Allow Spotify to connect to: Playlisty”.
• Once Spotify is linked as well, hit Continue at the bottom.

• Then, there are two questions to tune Playlisty’s search algorithm recommendations. Make your selections and hit Next, then Finish on the last one.
• From Playlist Sources, select Spotify Library at the top.

• To transfer all your Spotify albums and playlists, hit Select at the top right, which will summon the selector. Simply tap on Select All at the bottom left.
• To transfer a single album, you can simply use the selector to manually select the albums.
• Once done, hit Next at the bottom right and the tool starts to read your playlist.

• Then, tap on Save to your library.

Note:

Now, the free version of Playlisty allows you to save the first 20 tracks from all playlists. To save all of them, you will need to get the Pro paid tier.

• Next, hit Start and your Spotify playlists will start saving to Apple Music. Finally, hit Done when the process completes and that’s it. Visit Apple Music to find all the saved Spotify playlists here.

With that, you should now be able to easily transfer your Spotify playlists to Apple Music, hassle-free. While I personally liked these tools, you can explore and see which suits you best. We also have a dedicated guide on how to transfer your Spotify playlists to YouTube Music, in case that’s what you’re looking for too.
