Transfer Apple Music and iTunes Library to Amazon Music

Apple Music often feels like the default music app for Apple devices. It works smoothly on iPhone, iPad, iPod, and Mac. With a subscription, you get features like Spatial Audio, Dolby Atmos, and Apple Music Classical. For many people, it is the natural choice.

But music services are starting to feel more similar. Most of them offer the same basic features and similar music libraries. Some services tried to stand out with exclusive content, but that trend did not last long. Instead, they focus on what makes them different. Amazon Music, for example, works well on both Apple and Android devices. It also fits nicely with smart home setups. Prime members may also get Amazon Music Prime included, which makes it a simple and affordable option. At the same time, Apple Music has raised subscription prices, and some people are switching from iPhone to Android. That makes Amazon Music an attractive replacement for many listeners. The key question then becomes how to move your music library from Apple Music or iTunes to Amazon Music.

Option 1: Transfer Apple Music or iTunes Downloads to Amazon Music (MP3 Method)

Apple Music songs are protected, so you cannot move them directly. A DRM removal tool like ViWizard Apple Music Converter is made for this purpose. It can convert Apple Music tracks, playlists, albums, and your entire library into files that can be uploaded to Amazon Music, such as MP3, M4A, and FLAC. Then you can upload them like normal audio files.

ViWizard Apple Music Converter also makes the files compatible with other platforms and devices. Even if you are not transferring Apple Music to Amazon Music, the songs can still be played on many devices, including smart speakers, TVs, phones, PCs, Macs, and MP3 players. You can also organize your library by adjusting the output rules, so the files are saved by Albums, Playlists, Artists, and more. It also keeps the original audio quality and preserves important track information, such as artist, album, genre, and album art.

Option 2: Transfer Apple Music or iTunes Playlists to Amazon Music

If you mainly want to move playlists, this is the simplest method. Playlist transfer tools like ViWizard Music Playlist Transfer connect to both Apple Music and Amazon Music and move playlists without you doing it one song at a time. They match songs between services, so most popular tracks move smoothly. Some songs may not transfer if Amazon Music does not have them, but this is the fastest way to keep your playlist structure.

Transfer Playlists with ViWizard Music Playlist Transfer

ViWizard Music Playlist Transfer is a desktop tool many people use when they want a more complete transfer than web apps offer. It connects multiple streaming accounts and moves playlists, albums, and tracks with good control over metadata and playlist order. We recommend it for large libraries because it handles big transfers smoothly, and playlists, albums, or individual songs usually stay organized the same way. For playlist transfer, there is a useful feature that lets you send Apple Music playlists to Amazon Music and choose whether to keep them as they are or create new playlists with new descriptions. The free trial offers 100 transfers to test, then paid plans for unlimited use.

Transfer Playlists with TuneMyMusic

TuneMyMusic is a popular web based transfer service that is easy to use. It is one of the tools recommended by Amazon Music for transfers to Amazon Music. You just connect Apple Music as the source, Amazon Music as the destination, select what you want to move, and the tool does the rest. It supports many streaming services and shows a clear report of what moved and what did not. The free tier is enough for occasional use, but you may want to upgrade to premium to remove limits and unlock syncing.

Step 1 Open the TuneMyMusic website in a browser, then click Start or Let's Start.

Step 2 Choose Apple Music as your source service, then sign in and authorize access.

Step 3 Pick the playlists you want to move.

Step 4 Next, choose Amazon Music as the destination, then sign in to that account.

Step 5 Click Start Transfer and wait while TuneMyMusic moves your playlists.

Step 6 When the transfer finishes, review the report showing what moved and what could not.

Transfer Playlists with SongShift

SongShift is a favorite on iPhone because it is simple and fast. It connects Apple Music and Amazon Music and lets you transfer playlists or sync changes later. Many users like that it uses API logins and feels more secure than password based tools. There is a SongShift Pro subscription that adds automatic syncing and unlimited transfers.

Step 1 Install SongShift from the App Store, then open the app.

Step 2 Follow the prompts to connect your Apple Music and Amazon Music accounts.

Step 3 Tap the plus icon to create a new "Shift."

Step 4 Choose the Apple Music playlists you want to transfer.

Step 5 Match songs to the Amazon Music catalog as prompted.

Step 6 Review any mismatches and fix them if needed.

Step 7 Confirm and let SongShift move the playlists to Amazon Music.

Step 8 Open Amazon Music to confirm your new playlists are there.

Transfer Playlists with Soundiiz

Soundiiz is the most powerful web based option for people with large or complex libraries. It supports many services and can transfer playlists, favorites, albums, and more. It also offers playlist syncing and lets you export or import playlists in different file formats. The free tier feels limited even for small transfers, so a paid plan is needed if you are serious about this task. Users choose Soundiiz when they want the most accurate migration and the most control over their library.

Step 1 Go to the Soundiiz website, then log in or sign up.

Step 2 Connect your Apple Music and Amazon Music accounts.

Step 3 In the dashboard, click the transfer tool.

Step 4 Select Apple Music as the source service and choose the playlists you want to move.

Step 5 Choose Amazon Music as the destination.

Step 6 Confirm your selection and click Start Transfer.

Step 7 Wait while Soundiiz recreates your playlists on Amazon Music.

Step 8 When it finishes, open Amazon Music to confirm everything arrived.

Option 3: Transfer iTunes Library to Amazon Music (XML)

iTunes can export a library file in XML format. The XML file stores song and playlist information, but not the actual music files. You still need a transfer tool like Soundiiz or TuneMyMusic to read the file and match songs in Amazon Music. This is helpful if you have a large iTunes library and want to transfer it at once. If you want actual music files, you should try ViWizard Apple Music Converter instead.

Step 1 In iTunes (or the Music app), select your playlists first, then go to File > Library > Export Playlist. If you want to export your entire library, select Export Library instead.

Step 2 Save the XML file on your computer.

Step 3 Go to the Soundiiz website, or open the "Import XML to Amazon Music" page directly.

Step 4 Click Import Playlist in the top right of the Soundiiz interface.

Step 5 Choose From File, then upload the XML playlist file you saved earlier.

Step 6 Check the tracklist and make sure everything looks correct.

Step 7 Select Amazon Music as the destination, then confirm.

Step 8 Soundiiz will recreate the playlists in your Amazon Music account.

Option 4: Move Apple Music or iTunes Songs to Amazon Music

This is the manual method. You download your music files and recreate playlists in Amazon Music. It is not the fastest method, but it is reliable if you only have a few songs. While many tools require a subscription, this method is free. Many users combine this with other methods, like transferring playlists first and then uploading the songs that did not match.

Step 1 Open the Amazon Music app or desktop version on your computer.

Step 2 Use the Search bar to look up the song, album, or artist you want to add from your Apple Music or iTunes library.

Step 3 When you find the correct result, open it and click Add to Library or Add to Playlist.

Step 4 If you want to recreate a playlist, create a new playlist in Amazon Music first, then add each song to it one by one.

Step 5 Repeat the search and add process for any remaining songs, albums, or playlists you want to move.

Conclusion:

Now you've seen several practical ways to move your iTunes or Apple Music content to Amazon Music. If you want to keep your songs as MP3 files with full control over playback and storage, ViWizard Apple Music Converter lets you convert Apple Music to MP3. If you prefer not to install extra software and only need to move playlists, ViWizard Music Playlist Transfer offers a simple online transfer option.
