How to Transfer Spotify Playlists Collection to Apple Music

When it comes to switching from Spotify to another music service, Apple music, the second biggest name, must be on the list. For Spotify users, especially for the most ardent Spotify fan to be bunded with the "Music app" (Apple Music) in iOS devices, switching to Apple Music doesn't means to drop Spotify - one of the big tasks the switching music services has to complete is transferring Spotify playlist to Apple Music.

Part of the choice also comes down to the cost and compatibilities when making a switch to another music service, but in this article, we just dive into the difficult and possible parts from Spotify playlist to Apple Music.

Part 1. What's the Difficult Parts for Spotify Playlist to Apple Music?

Spotify: Recommendations in Playlists

For starters we have to make it clear that songs included in your Spotify playlists can be the most difficult part. Songs not just came from the search bar but also the Spotify's recommendation at the bottom of each playlist and your real listening experience.

It's even more complicate if you're in Spotify playlists that include social recommendations shown as Blend and Friends Mix, not to say those who have let their friends add songs to make collaborative playlists in Spotify. So there' must be a pain in the back to move these thousands of songs and later search for each to add in the created playlists in Apple Music.

Apple Music: Particular Version of Songs in Playlists

There are even the different versions of songs in Spotify, so there must be more difficulties when making a switch from Spotify to Apple Music. Most Spotify users prefer one particular version of song included in their Spotify playlists and want to move them to Apple Music.

In this case, even choosing to search for each title of songs won't make much sense because some are exclusives in Spotify and not supported in Apple Music. For example, the particular version of song in Spotify and the songs due to some special licensing agreements.

Part 2. What's the Possible Parts for Spotify Playlist to Apple Music?

Don't despair. While Spotify tells that "You can't save (or recover) a particular version of a playlist but you can create your own playlist and add all the tracks to that", one Spotify to Apple Music playlist converter will state it's possible and even move your playlists to Apple Music without the limits above.

Spotify: Playlists Download Service

One of the most popular services that Spotify offers is the download service for Spotify Premium. One Premium account can enable users to download songs and playlists to listen offline.

But some users could have once heard that the downloaded music tracks are encoded in DRM, which prevents users for more personal uses, including transferring Spotify playlist to Apple Music. However, one Spotify to Apple Music playlist converter can remove the DRM-protection thus making the Spotify playlists collection transferrable.

Apple Music: Upload Local Music Service

If for no matter how, Apple Music allows users to upload their local Spotify playlists collection to iTunes for desktop or other platforms for mobile such as Music app for iPhone.

Using iTunes, it's possible and even simple to add local Spotify playlists collection in MP3, AAC, FLAC or WAV formats converted with a Spotify to Apple Music playlist converter before to Apple Music later with some drags-and-drops. Therefore, the switching from Spotify to Apple Music with compatible favorited playlists can be achieved, as long as you have some DRM-free Spotify playlists collection.
