3 Free Ways to Move Spotify Playlist to Apple Music [Auto Sync]

If you want to switch to Apple Music from Spotify or back, you probably want to convert your favorite Spotify playlists to Apple Music too. In this article, I will show you four methods to do it. One even helps you sync Spotify playlist to Apple Music automatically once set up, twice a day. Read on to see the detailed steps.

Most of the people who use Apple Music have an iPhone, so these three methods I listed here will all be available on your iOS device. The first option is a web-based tool that allows you to transfer playlists on many music streaming services including YouTube, Deezer, Spotify, Tidal, Amazon Music, etc. If you do trust third-party services with your account login info, you should try the third method using Apple’s application Shortcuts.

Method 1: Move Spotify Playlist to Apple Music online

No matter what device you use, you can use this online tool to transfer playlist to another platform. The best part,  it is free to transfer 500 songs from Spotify to Apple Music and is very easy to operate.

Step 1. Go to the website: www.tunemymusic.com/

step 2. Select Spotify.

Step 3. Paste the Spotify playlist URL into the search bar. Select ‘Load Playlist’.

step 4. Select Next Destination.

Step 5. Select Apple Music, and log into your account to get started.

Very simple, as you can see. All playlists are supported even if they are not in your library. It is also easy to do the opposite by transferring Apple Music to Spotify.

If you want to transfer many playlists, this method is not that convenient because you need to log in to the Apple Music account for each playlist you transfer. If you have two-factor authentication, this is going to take some time. In that case, you should try the other 2 methods.

Luckily, thanks to the recent update, you can create a free account of Tunemymusic, so you can use it to automatically sync your Spotify playlist to Apple Music. It is a premium feature though.

SongShift only allows you to transfer playlists in your library. If you also want to transfer playlists that are not added to your Library, then this Shortcuts method is for you.

That’s it. You can create a new playlist or select an existing playlist to receive all songs from Spotify. With Shortcuts Automation, you can also create an automation task to run this shortcut automatically for playlist sync. You need to edit the shortcut a little bit though.

The latest version, allows you to transfer more than 100 tracks in a playlist without using third-party services.
