Best Ways to Transfer iTunes Playlists to Spotify (Step-by-Step)

Part 1. Transfer Apple Music Playlists to Spotify Using a Music Converter

If your Apple Music library includes rare songs, iTunes purchases, or personal playlists that won't transfer to Spotify, you don't have to leave them behind. ViWizard Apple Music Converter can help you move everything over while keeping it just the way you like it.

Tool Required: ViWizard Apple Music Converter

ViWizard Apple Music Converter works by removing the DRM protection from Apple Music tracks. This means the songs can play outside of Apple's system. After conversion, you simply add them to Spotify as local files, and you can listen on any device. If you've built your music collection over the years, this is a great way to keep those hard-to-find songs, especially if they're no longer available on Spotify.

One handy feature is batch conversion. You can convert entire playlists, albums, or your whole library in one go instead of doing it song by song. Plus, you can pick popular formats like MP3 or WAV, which Spotify supports for local files. That gives you the freedom to listen wherever you want. ViWizard also keeps all your song info intact—things like titles, artists, albums, and cover art. So when your music shows up in Spotify, it looks just like it did before.

The conversion process might take some time depending on how big your library is, but it's worth it. Once everything's converted, your music is just a few clicks away. You can try it now!

Keep in mind: This isn't an all-at-once method. We recommend converting one playlist at a time to keep things running smoothly.

Part 2. Transfer Apple Music Playlists to Spotify via Search (Manually)

If you don't want to use a converter or transfer tool, you can move your playlists by rebuilding them yourself in Spotify. It takes a little more time because you need to find each song in your playlists and add them to Spotify one by one, but it's simple and gives you full control. It still saves time because Spotify's search lets you add songs straight to a playlist without switching around the app. Plus, Spotify will suggest similar songs based on what you've added, which helps you update or grow your playlist.

This method works best if you only have a few playlists or want a fresh start. It's slower than automatic transfers but very reliable. And since you build it yourself, you know your playlists will be just how you want them.

1. Open iTunes on Your Computer: Launch iTunes and make sure you're in the Music section to view your playlists.



2. Choose a Playlist to Transfer: Select the playlist you want to move. Take screenshots or write down the song names for easy reference.
3. Create a New Playlist in Spotify: Open Spotify, go to the Playlists section, and create a new playlist with a matching name.
4. Open the Playlist and Use the Search Bar: Click into your new playlist and use the search field to begin adding songs.



5. Search and Add Songs One by One: Type the name of each song from your Apple Music playlist. When you find the right one, click Add to include it.
6. Use Spotify's Recommended Songs (Optional): After adding a few songs, scroll down to the Recommended section to discover similar tracks.



7. Add Recommended Tracks: Click Add next to any recommended songs you want to include in your new playlist.

Part 3. Transfer Apple Music Playlists to Spotify Using Transfer Tools

A popular way to move playlists is by using transfer tools like Soundiiz and others. These tools connect your Apple Music and Spotify accounts, then find matching songs to move your playlists automatically. It's a much easier option than rebuilding everything yourself.

Most tools let you try them out for free by transferring a small number of songs, so you can get a feel for how it works. But if you want to move all your Apple Music or iTunes playlists to Spotify, you'll need to pay for a subscription. That's because handling full playlists takes more work behind the scenes.

I know paying for another service might sound annoying, but these tools save a lot of time and effort and still worth considering.

1. Go to Soundiiz and Sign In: Visit Soundiiz and log in or create an account.
2. Connect Apple Music: Select Apple Music from the list of services and sign in to link your account.
   • Select iTunes from the list, then choose Export playlists.
   • Open iTunes on your computer and find the playlist you want to transfer.
3. Select Playlists to Transfer: Choose the playlists you want to move from Apple Music.

   

   • For Apple Music playlists: Click More > Share Playlist > Copy Link.
   • For iTunes playlists: Highlight the playlist, then go to File > Library > Export Playlist, and save it as a .txt file.
4. Start the Transfer:
   • Back in Soundiiz, either paste the Apple Music playlist link or upload the .txt file from iTunes.
   • Save the imported playlist configuration.
5. Connect Spotify: Choose Spotify as the destination and sign in to your Spotify account. Wait for the transfer to finish.



6. Check Your Spotify Library: Open Spotify and find your transferred playlist ready to play.
