How To Convert a Spotify Playlist To An Apple Music Playlist

Spotify may be one of the first streaming services to hit the market, but it’s no longer the only option for consumers. Apple Music has built a sizeable user base since its first launch in 2015 and is now the best streaming service for Apple device owners and millions more.

If you’re thinking about switching from Spotify to Apple Music, you probably don’t want to lose your carefully crafted playlists. Although the process is not easy, it is possible to convert Spotify playlist to Apple Music if you want. Here’s how to do it on desktops and mobile devices.

Unfortunately, there is no built-in option to convert Spotify playlist to Apple Music, but you can use the SongShift app to do it on iOS if you need to. Apps like STAMP exist for Android users.

SongShift allows you to move your playlist and music library between several different music streaming platforms. It supports Spotify and Apple Music, as well as other platforms like Deezer and YouTube Music, and allows you to view song matches and undo any inappropriate songs during the transfer process.

• First, download and install SongShift from the App Store, then open the app. Tap the SongShift icon at the bottom of the screen to start the transfer process.

• On the next screen, tap the Source option.

• Click on the Connect More option.

• Scroll until you find the Spotify option, then click Connect. Use your Spotify account credentials to login in this step.

• Repeat this for Apple Music: Search for Apple Music and click Connect, and then sign in with your Apple Music account information.

• With both services connected, return to the Shift customization screen and click Customization Source again. Select Spotify as the setting source, then click Playlist.

• Select the playlist or playlists you want to rip from Spotify to Apple Music from the Original Playlist screen. Free SongShift users can only stream one playlist at a time, while premium users can select multiple playlists to transfer. When you’re done choosing playlists, click Select.

• Tap Settings to start transferring your playlist to Apple Music. Select Apple Music as your destination, then click New Playlist.

• Make sure the settings are correct (including the new playlist name), then click I’m Done to start the transfer process.
