We say this because no matter what music streaming service you’re using, it almost certainly doesn’t have a built-in tool to help you transfer your playlists over from another service. And while using a third-party app/service is the most apparent solution to this problem, not all apps/services are effective at their job, and some even charge you money in exchange. Let’s dive in to explore these apps and services.
Method 1. Transfer Playlists Between Music Services on iOS
Apple’s App Store offers a limited number of apps for transferring music. However, among these is SongShift, a free app with a simple and easy-to-use UI that lets you transfer your playlists between Spotify and any other music service with a few simple steps. Follow these steps to use SongShift for transferring playlists between two different services: Once the transfer completes, you’ll have your playlist (and all its songs) transferred to your chosen music service. Do note, however, that with the free version of SongShift, you can move just one playlist at a time. So if you’ve got multiple playlists, you’ll need to move them one by one. If this already sounds tedious to you, you can upgrade to SongShift Pro to unlock the ability to move multiple playlists simultaneously, along with a few other features.
Method 2. Transfer Playlists Between Music Services on Android
If you’re an Android user, you can find a bunch of music transfer apps on the Google Play Store. Although most of these apps would help you transfer your playlists between most of the popular music streaming services, we find FreeYourMusic (formerly Stamp) to be one of the better ones—and it also happens to be free. FreeYourMusic supports a wide range of music streaming services and is pretty easy to use. Following are the steps to use FreeYourMusic for transferring playlists on Android: You should see your moved playlist on your destination music service as soon as the process is complete. With FreeYourMusic, too, keep in mind that the free version allows you to transfer only 100 songs at once. So you’ll need to upgrade to the app’s premium version to transfer more songs and playlists at a time. Also Read: What to Do if Spotify Keeps Crashing or Closing Itself
