"Apple Music is rolling out a new tool that allows you to import playlists from other streaming services. After beta-testing in Australia and New Zealand, the tool is now available in the United States, United Kingdom, Brazil, Canada, France, Germany, and Mexico. The tool, announced by Apple and spotted by MacRumors, is accessed through a new menu in Music settings called Transfer Music from Other Music Services."
"They follow Godspeed You! Black Emperor, King Gizzard & the Lizard Wizard, Xiu Xiu, and Deerhoof, among others. While Spotify has long generated ill will for its unusually low royalty payouts and assorted other ethical concerns, the latest wave of departures was prompted by growing awareness of CEO Daniel Ek's venture capital fund Prima Materia. That company has heavily invested in the highly contentious defense company Helsing, which specializes in artificial intelligence-driven military technologies."
Apple Music has launched a tool that imports playlists from other streaming services, moving beyond beta in Australia and New Zealand to multiple additional countries. The feature appears in Music settings under 'Transfer Music from Other Music Services,' where users can sign in to another streamer and select items to import, with detailed instructions and a browser-based alternative on Apple's Support page. The rollout coincides with a wave of indie-rock artists leaving Spotify over ethical and royalty concerns, intensified by revelations about CEO Daniel Ek's fund Prima Materia investing in defense firm Helsing, which develops AI-driven military technologies.
