Spotify is undeniably a key player in the music streaming industry, but it is far from the only one. With the increasing competition in the streaming space, users have started looking for options beyond Spotify to play their favorite tunes. Although music streaming services don’t offer an official way to export and import playlists seamlessly, there are multiple services that help you do this exercise without going through the hassle of adding every song manually. In this article, we have detailed how to transfer your Spotify playlist to Apple Music, YouTube Music, and more.
Transfer Spotify Playlists to Other Streaming Services (2022)
Which is the Best Service to Transfer Music Between Streaming Services?
There are a few options that you can consider while transferring playlists between music streaming services. First up, there is Tune My Music, and it supports almost all streaming services out there. Using the free plan, you can move up to 500 tracks and export the songs to a .TXT or .CSV file. Upgrading to the premium plan that costs $4.5/ month or $24/ year gives you unlimited conversions and the ability to automatically sync up to 20 playlists.
Then there is Soundiiz, another free service to transfer playlists. Unlike Tune My Music, you can keep one playlist automatically synced in the free version here. However, the number of playlists you can convert at a time is limited to 200 tracks. To remove the limitations, you could purchase the premium version that costs 4.5 Euros (~$5.15) per month.
Other options to consider include SongShift (download), an iOS-exclusive app, and Free Your Music (visit), a paid playlist transfer service. Overall, Tune My Music is the ideal choice for most people when it comes to converting playlists.

6. Pick YouTube Music as the destination platform and wait for the conversion process to complete. Once it is complete, you will see a “Conversion success’ banner in the app.
