"In August, Apple Music launched a tool for importing playlists from other streaming services. The bruhahah over Daniel Ek's war profiteering was in full swing, and artists were starting to flee. The two things may have been unrelated, but the timing was certainly fortuitous. Now Spotify is launching its own playlist transfer tool, in hopes of winning over some defectors from other platforms."
"The feature isn't something brand-new, built from the ground up. Instead, it's a direct integration with TuneMyMusic, which lets you shuttle playlists between services like Tidal, YouTube Music, Qobuz, Beatport, and even Napster. Of course, TuneMyMusic is just one of several services that offer the same ability, including Soundiiz and SongShift, which powers Apple Music's import feature."
"Going directly through Spotify and Apple gets you the full premium, unlimited transfer experience, albeit in one direction only. The ability to tranfer your playlists from directly within the Spotify mobile app is rolling out now globally."
Apple Music introduced an import tool in August that enabled users to bring playlists from other streaming services. A separate controversy around Daniel Ek and artist departures created momentum for cross-service migration tools. Spotify has launched an in-app playlist transfer feature that integrates TuneMyMusic to move playlists from services like Tidal, YouTube Music, Qobuz, Beatport, and Napster. Third-party services such as Soundiiz and SongShift already provide similar functionality. Using Spotify or Apple for transfers removes third-party free-tier limits and provides a premium, unlimited transfer experience, currently available one-way and rolling out globally on Spotify's mobile app.
