Is It Simple To Transfer The Music?
To move your playlists to YouTube Music, you need an active Apple Music or iTunes Match subscription and a YouTube Music account. Log in to Apple’s Data and Privacy page, select “Transfer a copy of your data,” and follow the instructions. It might take a few minutes to several hours, depending on how many playlists you’re moving.
Currently, Apple Music doesn’t let you transfer playlists to other services directly. You’ll need a third-party tool to move playlists to Spotify, Amazon Music, and others. However, Apple is working on making this easier. Recently, some users saw a beta version of Apple Music on Android that lets you use SongShift to transfer playlists from Spotify and other services to Apple Music.
Supported Methods:
- Third-Party Apps: The transfer feature is supported by third-party applications like SongShift, TuneMyMusic, and Soundiiz. These apps provide additional tools and functionalities for transferring playlists between different services.
- Features of Third-Party Apps:
- Customizable Transfers: Some apps give a more detailed customization, such as selecting specific playlists or tracks for transfer.
- Automatic Syncing: Certain apps also have options for automatic syncing to keep playlists updated across platforms.
Final Thoughts:
With Apple Music now letting us transfer playlists to and from YouTube Music, it’s much easier to switch between these two services. This feature helps you keep your favorite playlists without having to recreate them from scratch.
While Apple Music doesn’t yet support transferring to other services directly, using third-party tools can help with that. This new capability will help you manage your music more conveniently and flexibly.
