The right way to transfer your Spotify playlists and songs to Apple Music

Learn how to transfer Spotify playlists to Apple Music on iPhone, iPad, Android or the web, and what you need before you move your songs over.

Apple Music has a built-in tool that brings your Spotify playlists and saved songs with you, whether you use an iPhone, an Android phone or the web.

Spotify is the go-to music streaming app for hundreds of millions of people, but in recent years, it's given its massive user base plenty of reasons to reconsider. The company has been controversial for paying incredibly low rates to artists, for its founder's investments in defense companies, and for the growing number of AI-generated songs clogging up the platform. Now that Spotify has revealed plans to launch a service that lets anyone "remix" existing songs with generative AI, another exodus of artists and users may be on the horizon. Fortunately, it's easy to get out if you're heading to one of the best Spotify alternatives, like Apple Music.

The hardest part of switching streaming music services is making sure you don't lose your favorite tracks along the way, especially if you're a longtime Spotify user with loads of saved songs and playlists on the app. Starting from scratch can be a scary endeavor.

The good news is that Apple Music and other Spotify competitors have their own tools that let you bring your playlists and saved songs with you when you leave for greener pastures.
