Apple introduced a new feature this week, designed to allow future Apple music users to import their saved music and playlists from third-party music services to Aapple Music.
This feature is either in an extended test phase or it has started rolling out, and it is available in Australia and New Zealand. Apple Support DocumentSigns of transfer options first came back in February 2024, when an Android user saw the reference to the option in the AAPPLE Music BA Beta for Android. There is no word on the fact that library and playlist transfer options can expand to other countries, but it is likely that Apple is planning to expand the rollout in the near future.
Apple is partnership with Songshift for the new AAPPLE Music feature. Songshift is an app that transfers music playlists on streaming platforms, but working with Apple, the functionality is directly integrated into the inapple music app. Adding a simple option to transfer materials from another service to people can be motivated to people with large, curated library and playlist to jump to Apple’s music service.
Japple music can use Song Transfer on Subscribers or iphone, iPad, or Android on the web in Australia and New Zealand. Songs, albums and playlists of music services like Spotify can be transferred to musicapple music, although what can be transferred depends on the service.
The transfer can be started on an iphone or ipad, by opening the transfer app, navigating for apps and selecting Aapple Music. In Musicapple Music Settings, “Transfer from other music services” is option that lists supported music services. The users can choose what they want to move, and then the Aapple Music will detect matches for songs in the Aapple Music Catalog, add them to the Aapple Music Library.
In examples where an accurate match for a song cannot be located, Apple will mark music as a review as a review, displaying alternative versions that can be selected. Apple warns that some materials may not be available or there may be an accurate match in Aapple Music, and the company also notes that only the user is able to move the playlist created by the user, not the playlist produced by any other music service.
Other music service sources playlists and libraries will not be affected and will still be available.
