How to Transfer Apple Music to Spotify

Part 1. Why Switching from Apple Music to Spotify?

If you've been frustrated with Apple Music, you're not alone. Maybe your favorite songs keep disappearing, or you're having trouble syncing playlists across devices. It's really annoying when you lose your entire music library because of a subscription issue, and even worse when you can't get it back, even if you re-subscribe.

Sharing music with friends on Apple Music might also be tricky or limited, making it hard to connect with others over your favorite tracks. And if the recommendations don't hit the mark, it can feel like a waste of time.

Spotify might be a better fit for you. It offers easier playlist sharing and a more reliable experience overall. If you're tired of the hassle and want a smoother way to enjoy and share your music, switching to Spotify could be just what you need.

Part 3. How to Transfer Apple Music Playlists to Spotify

If you want to move your Apple Music playlists to Spotify, you have a few options. Tools like Soundiiz and TuneMyMusic can help, but they only transfer playlist data, not the actual music files. For example, you can use TuneMyMusic for the transfer:

1. Open your web browser and go to the TuneMyMusic website. Click on "Let's start" to begin the process.
2. Select Apple Music as the source service. You’ll need to sign in with your Apple ID and grant the necessary permissions to access your library. Alternatively, you can upload an XML file:
   • Open iTunes or the Apple Music app on your computer. Go to File > Library > Export Library and save the file as an XML file on your computer. This file contains your playlist information.

   

   • Back on TuneMyMusic, select the option to upload a file. Choose the XML file you exported from iTunes or the Apple Music app.

   

3. After uploading the file or selecting your music content, sign in to your Spotify account on TuneMyMusic. This allows the service to transfer your playlists.



4. Choose either "My Apple Music Library" or "My Uploaded file Music Library" (depending on your method) and select the specific playlists you want to move. Start the transfer process, and TuneMyMusic will import your playlists into Spotify.
