How to Transfer Apple Music to Samsung Music

Part 1. Why Can't I Transfer Apple Music Directly to Samsung Music?

If you've ever tried dragging Apple Music downloads into Samsung Music, you've probably noticed—nothing happens. The files either don't show up or just won't play. It seems like it should be simple, but it's not.

The main issue is format. Apple Music saves downloaded songs as M4P files, which Samsung Music doesn't support. Even though Samsung Music works fine with MP3 and AAC, M4P is a different beast—locked down with DRM (Digital Rights Management). In plain terms, that means Apple doesn't want those files playing outside its own ecosystem.

Now, if you've purchased older songs from iTunes, those are usually in AAC format and might work. But unless your whole library comes from pre-Apple Music purchases, that's not going to get you very far.

So yeah, DRM is the dealbreaker here. Apple's protection system prevents these files from working with any non-Apple apps—even if you've already downloaded them. That's what makes moving your full Apple Music library to Samsung Music feel impossible.

Luckily, it's not. There's an easy workaround: convert your Apple Music into a format recognized by Samsung devices and its Music app.

Tool Required: ViWizard Apple Music Converter

Now that we've covered why Apple Music doesn't just work with Samsung Music, let's talk about what actually does—ViWizard Apple Music Converter.

Part 2. How to Convert Apple Music to Samsung Music

ViWizard Apple Music Converter handles the hard part—converting your Apple Music files so they actually work with Samsung Music. All that's left for you is to move the files to your phone.

But is it really that good? Personally, I preferred ViWizard over other music transfer tools like Soundiiz because it doesn't just move playlists—it strips away the DRM, converts your Apple Music tracks, and keeps everything intact: song titles, album art, artist info—you name it. I ran a few batches through it, and every single one landed on my Samsung phone exactly the way I wanted, ready to drop right into the Samsung Music app.

What's also nice is how seamless the process is. ViWizard doesn't just do MP3—it supports multiple output formats, offers batch conversion, and even lets you tweak audio quality if you want more control over bitrate or sample rate. Plus, it runs fast, which makes a big difference when you're dealing with a big music library.

Once your files are converted, it's just a matter of dragging them onto your phone or syncing via USB. After that, open Samsung Music—and your Apple Music collection is now part of your Samsung world, no strings attached.
