Spotify Now Lets You Import Playlists from Apple Music and Other Services

Spotify has rolled out a new feature in its mobile app that allows users to transfer playlists directly from rival streaming services such as Apple Music, TIDAL, Amazon Music, SoundCloud, and Deezer without needing third-party apps.

Built-in Playlist Transfer Now Available

Launched last week and currently available worldwide, the playlist import feature leverages TuneMyMusic’s technology. Previously, users faced the tedious task of manually recreating playlists or relying on third-party services, which only offered limited free transfers like TuneMyMusic’s cap of 500 songs without payment.

Within the Spotify app, this new option is located under the “Your Library” tab. To start a transfer, users can scroll to the bottom, tap “Import your music,” and follow the on-screen instructions. The app will then prompt users to connect to the streaming service they wish to import from, automatically scanning and importing playlists.

Not every song will transition seamlessly, as discrepancies between source and Spotify libraries might lead to some tracks being skipped in the process.

Simplifying Service Switches

This tool significantly eases the transition for users considering the move to Spotify, addressing one of the primary frustrations associated with changing streaming platforms. By incorporating this feature, Spotify makes the transfer process much simpler while rendering paid third-party subscription services unnecessary.

Interestingly, in September 2025, Apple Music introduced a similar playlist import function, allowing its users to bring over playlists from other platforms as well.
