If you want to move your playlists, albums, or favorite songs from services like Spotify to Apple Music, this guide has you covered.

I will walk you through the latest built-in Apple tool and other easy ways to transfer your music.

How to transfer music to Apple Music?

1. Via Apple’s built-in settings (New)

This is the easiest way if it’s available for you. Apple is rolling this out gradually, so it may not show up for everyone right now.

Using the Apple Music app (iOS and Android)

1. Open the Settings app on your iPhone or iPad and go to Apps > Music.
2. Look for Transfer Music from Other Music Services.
3. Alternatively, open the Apple Music app on your iPhone, iPad, or Android device.
4. Sign in with your Apple ID if asked.
5. Select the service you want to transfer from, like Spotify, and log in.
6. Choose the playlists, albums, or liked songs you want to move.
7. Review the matches and fix any errors if needed.
8. Confirm the transfer. You have up to 30 days to adjust mismatched tracks.

Using the Apple Music website

1. Visit the Apple Music website and sign in with your Apple ID.
2. Click your profile picture at the top right.
3. Select Transfer Music from the menu.
4. Connect your Spotify account (or another supported service).
5. Pick the playlists, albums, and songs you want to bring over.
6. Review the matches and correct any issues.
7. Complete the transfer. You can still edit mismatched songs within 30 days.

Only playlists you created yourself can be transferred. Service-generated or auto-curated playlists will not carry over.

NOTE

At the moment, Apple only supports this transfer feature in select regions. It is currently available in Australia, Brazil, Canada, France, Germany, Mexico, New Zealand, the United Kingdom, and the United States. More countries are expected to be added over time.
