How to Transfer Spotify Playlists to Apple Music

In Short
  • Spotify and Apple Music don't have the native functionality of transferring playlists.
  • So, you will need to use third-party services like Tune My Music to transfer playlists.
  • iOS users can also make use of the Playlisty app available on the App Store.

Audiophiles across the globe cheered when Apple came out with lossless audio for their Apple Music streaming service. This left many Spotify users wanting to switch over to the other service. But the biggest challenge was starting everything from scratch, as there isn’t any official way to port your playlist between the two platforms. If you are stuck with a similar dilemma, then we have a few solutions to deal with this annoyance and help you transfer Spotify Playlists to Apple Music.

How to Transfer Spotify Playlists to Apple Music

Since both Spotify and Apple Music don’t have a native functionality to let you transfer playlists, you are left 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, these worked the best for me.

Method 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. Let’s take a look:

  1. Head over to Tune My Music (website) and click on Let’s start.
Tune My Music Let's start button
  1. Then, from the list of available apps, click on Spotify.
  1. In the pop-up window, log in to your Spotify account and click on Agree inside the “Allow Spotify to connect to: TuneMyMusic” screen.
  1. On the next page, select Load from Spotify account.
  1. Your playlists will load up. Here, select the playlists you want to transfer by clicking on the adjacent checkboxes.
  2. You can also expand the playlists by hovering over the right arrow icon.
  3. Then select specific songs to transfer from your Spotify playlists.
  1. Once done, select Choose Destination from the bottom and select Apple Music from the list of available icons.
  1. Then, just like with Spotify, you will need to log in to your Apple Music account.
  2. Once that’s done, hit Start Transfer. Your playlists will start transferring.

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”.

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.

Method 2: Using Playlisty (on iPhone Only)

While users across the different platforms can use Tune My Music to transfer their Spotify playlists to Apple Music, iPhone users can make use of another handy tool called Playlisty. To use it, follow these steps:

  1. When you open Playlisty, you will be asked to Link your account (Apple Music). Tap on it and log in to your Apple Music account.
  2. Tap on Allow in the access panel. This will let link your Apple Music account with Playlisty.
  1. Here, tap on Link Spotify and log in to your Spotify account.
  2. Hit Agree in the “Allow Spotify to connect to: Playlisty”.
  3. Once Spotify is linked as well, hit Continue at the bottom.
  1. Then, Playlisty will ask you two questions. Make your selections and hit Next, then Finish on the last one.
  2. From Playlist Sources, select Spotify Library at the top.
  1. To transfer all your Spotify albums and playlists, hit Select at the top right, which will summon the selector.
  2. Simply tap on Select All at the bottom left.
  3. To transfer a single album, you can simply use the selector to manually select the albums.
  4. Once done, hit Next at the bottom right and the tool starts to read your playlist.
  1. Then, tap on Save to your library.
  2. Next, hit Start and your Spotify playlists will start saving to Apple Music.
  3. Finally, hit Done when the process completes and that’s it.

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.

With that, you should now be able to easily transfer your Spotify playlists to Apple Music, hassle-free. While I like 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.
