How to Transfer Your Spotify Playlists to Apple Music (or iTunes)

Share

This short guide will show you how to quickly and easily transfer your playlists from Spotify to Apple Music.

Best of all – you don’t need to sign up for anything or download/install any software! Using the free service TuneMyMusic, you can copy the playlists you’ve created in Spotify over to the Apple Music app (and/or iTunes). Here’s how –

    Please note: even though the screenshots used in this guide are from a Mac, the entire process is identical whether you’re using Windows, Linux or macOS.

  1. Head over to the TuneMyMusic home page (link opens in a new tab/window) and click the big Let’s Start button.
  2. Select Spotify as the source.
  3. You’ll be prompted to sign into Spotify (if you aren’t already) and then click the large AGREE button so that TuneMyMusic can access your playlists.
  4. Click the Load from your Spotify account button.
  5. A window will appear with a list of all of the playlists you’ve created on Spotify. Place a check in box next to each of the playlists that you want to export to Apple Music and then click the Next: Select Destination button.
  6. Click the Apple Music button to select the destination.
  7. A small window will appear – click the Login to your Apple account button in that window.
  8. Enter your Apple ID and password in the spaces provided.

  9. Depending on your settings, you may be prompted to authenticate with 2 factor authorization. If you are, enter the auth code after you receive it.
  10. Now click the Allow button so that TuneMyMusic can create new playlists in Apple Music.
  11. Finally! Click the Start Moving My Music >> button. Note: your playlists aren’t “moved” – they’re copied. They will still exist and be accessible in Spotify, they’ll just also exist in Apple Music.
  12. The process is actually pretty quick. It only took a minute to export 12 of my playlists (659 songs in total).
  13. Once it’s done, you may notice messages about missing files (see screenshot below). If you do see a message about x missing files, click the Show list link next to that playlist.
  14. Scroll through the playlist until you find the missing song(s). These tracks either aren’t available on Apple Music or TuneMyMusic wasn’t able to locate/identify them.
  15. Open the Music app on your Mac, iTunes on your Windows PC, or the Apple Music app on your iPhone or iPad. Ta-da! All of your Spotify playlists are now accessible in your Apple Music collection. That’s it – you’re all done.
