Apple Makes It Easier to Move Your Music Library to Apple Music

Apple has introduced a simple way for users to transfer their music libraries and playlists from other streaming services directly into Apple Music. The process is powered by SongShift and works through a guided web flow that connects supported music platforms in just a few steps.

This update removes one of the biggest barriers for users thinking about switching music services.

One Place to Move Your Playlists

Users can now select their current music service and migrate playlists and saved libraries into Apple Music. Supported platforms include Spotify, Amazon Music, Deezer, TIDAL, and YouTube Music.

Instead of rebuilding playlists manually, the transfer happens automatically using SongShift’s matching system.

How the Transfer Works

After selecting a music service, users authenticate their account and grant permission for SongShift to access their library. SongShift then scans playlists and tracks, matches them with Apple Music’s catalog, and recreates them inside the Apple Music app.

The process runs securely and does not require downloading any additional apps.

SongShift handles the backend transfer and matching logic. It only accesses the data required to move playlists and libraries and follows its own privacy and data protection policies.

Apple uses SongShift as the official bridge, making this a supported and streamlined experience rather than a third party workaround.

Why This Matters

Playlist lock in has long been a reason users hesitate to change music services. By offering an official migration tool, Apple reduces friction for new users and makes switching far more practical.

This move also signals stronger competition among streaming platforms, where ease of switching is becoming as important as exclusive features.

A Small Change With Big Impact

While the feature is simple, it solves a real user pain point. Music libraries often represent years of curation, and preserving them makes changing platforms feel safe instead of risky.

For anyone considering Apple Music, moving playlists is now a matter of minutes rather than hours.
