Switching from Spotify over to Apple Music is much easier when using a tool like SongShift. Switching music streaming services can be a very daunting task and especially if users need to uproot their entire music library and start all over again. That thought alone can be enough to stop users from switching services, even if the one they are using is not the best one for them.
Apple Music has become a very popular music streaming service. Making use of lossless audio as well as Dolby Atmos media, the service delivers high-quality audio to users. Spotify has a lot of good features and has been teasing lossless audio for a while now. Although it is in the works, it’s not available yet. For some users, this may be enough of a reason to consider moving away from Spotify and into the arms of Apple Music.
After deciding to leave Spotify, there is the task of moving every song and playlist over to the new service. Fortunately, an iOS app called SongShift makes that extremely easy. Users can download the app and connect both a Spotify and Apple Music account. After connecting the accounts, it’s only a matter of setting up a queue of actions. First, select what form of media is to be moved. For instance, SongShift needs to know if it’s looking for an album, playlist, or song. Then choose the source service, which in this case would be Spotify. Hit continue and then select what exactly needs to be transferred. Users can pick out a specific playlist or album to transfer. Once identified, SongShift will automatically set Apple Music as the destination, providing Spotify and Apple Music are the only two accounts connected. If the user decides a different destination is better, they can click the little edit pencil to switch the destination to another connected streaming service. After that, users can choose to add another task to the queue or finish up. SongShift will then have Apple Music add all of these songs to the library, where they can be enjoyed in their lossless and spatial audio forms.
Transfer Thousands Of Songs In Minutes

There is a free version of SongShift as well as a paid version, but the free version is likely to be fine for many. While the user will need to create multiple tasks in a queue, it only takes a few minutes to set up. SongShift advertises faster transfer speeds with the paid version, although the regular speeds work just fine. It only takes around ten or so minutes with the app open to move a few thousand songs over to Apple Music where they can easily be downloaded and stored offline. After the initial transfer, it may take a little bit of time for these songs to be synced to an iPhone or iPad. No matter how long it takes, it’s certainly easier than recreating playlists and finding all those songs again.
The only real caveat to transferring songs from Spotify is that only user-created playlists can be transferred. Curated Spotify playlists aren’t transferable since they don’t exist in Apple Music. If a user wants to transfer a playlist created by another user on Spotify, SongShift will create a new playlist in Apple Music to the best of its ability. SongShift works with a surprising amount of other streaming services as well. So users can transfer songs from Tidal, Amazon Music, and even Pandora to name a few. With a tool like this, making the jump from Spotify to Apple Music is a whole lot easier and quicker.
