4 Ways to Transfer Spotify to Apple Music or iTunes

Method 1: Transfer Spotify to Apple Music Using Apple Music Settings

The built-in transfer option is a simple starting point. It works on iPhone, iPad, Android, and the web, and connects Spotify to Apple Music through SongShift. You turn on "Transfer Music", choose Spotify, then sign in to your Spotify account. After that, select songs, albums, or playlists, and tap "Add to Library". Apple Music will match the tracks and add them to your library. Spotify Liked Songs are usually moved as Favorites in Apple Music. It also helps bring different music libraries into one Apple Music setup for families or groups.

After the transfer, a bit of checking is normal because some tracks may not transfer to Apple Music or may not have an exact match in the catalog.

01Open the Apple Music app on your iPhone, iPad, Android device, or go to music.apple.com on your browser.

02Tap your profile icon (or account icon) in the top right corner.

03Go to Settings or Account Settings from the menu.

04Find and select Transfer Music from Other Music Services.

05Choose Spotify from the list of supported services.

06Sign in to your Spotify account when prompted.

07Select the playlists, albums, or songs you want to transfer.

08Tap or click Add to Library to start the transfer process.

09Wait for Apple Music to match your tracks and complete the transfer.

Method 2: Transfer Spotify to Apple Music / iTunes Using Local Files

Spotify is mainly for streaming, while iTunes and Apple Music are often used to manage personal music libraries and offline files. Because of this difference, there is no direct way to move Spotify playlists into Apple Music.

The main limitation is DRM protection. Spotify tracks are locked inside the app and cannot be exported as regular audio files. To work around this, ViWizard Spotify Music Converter can convert Spotify songs and playlists into local files on Windows or Mac, such as MP3 or WAV. You can then import these files into iTunes or Apple Music, where they become part of your personal library for offline use and syncing across devices.

This helps avoid mistakes during migration. It is often one of the easiest tools for switching to Apple Music. It works well for standard playlists, but very large libraries may take more time or need small adjustments.

03TuneMyMusic

TuneMyMusic is a web tool that transfers playlists between different music services. It runs directly in the browser, so no installation is needed. It is popular because it is fast and simple to use. Many people rely on it when they only need to move playlists from Spotify to Apple Music. It is convenient, but matching may not always be perfect for rare or less common tracks. It works best for quick transfers rather than detailed library management.

04Soundiiz

Soundiiz is a more advanced platform for managing and transferring playlists across multiple music services. It also supports playlist syncing over time. Compared to basic tools, it offers more control and flexibility. Users with many playlists or multiple platforms often prefer it.

06Playlistor

Playlistor.io is a lightweight web tool for quickly transferring playlists between Spotify and Apple Music. It is designed for simple use without sign ups or complicated steps. It is a fast option when only a few playlists need to be moved. It is convenient but more basic compared to other tools. It works best for small or simple playlists, while larger libraries may require more robust solutions.

Method 4: Transfer Spotify to Apple Music / iTunes Manually

If you prefer not to use tools or automation, you can still transfer playlists manually. This means searching each song in Apple Music or iTunes and rebuilding your playlists one by one.

It takes more time, but it gives you full control over every track you add. This method is often used for smaller playlists or when accuracy is more important than speed. It also works as a reliable fallback when other options are not suitable.

01Open the Spotify app or web player on your computer.

02Go to your Library and open the playlist you want to transfer.

03Manually note or copy the song list (you can also use a second window to keep Spotify open).

04Open the Apple Music app or iTunes on your computer.

05Go to the Library section.

06Click File > New > Playlist to create a new playlist.

07Name the playlist to match your Spotify playlist for easier tracking.

08Use the search bar in Apple Music or iTunes to find each song one by one.

09Click the + or Add to Library button next to each track to add it to your playlist.
