Moving from Spotify to Apple Music, explained
Switching from Spotify to Apple Music used to mean rebuilding years of playlists by hand, one song at a time. It does not anymore. FreeYourMusic reads your Spotify library through Spotify’s own official sign-in and recreates it inside Apple Music — your playlists, your liked songs, your saved albums and the artists you follow — usually in a single sitting. You keep the collection you spent years curating; only the app around it changes.
This page walks through exactly what a Spotify to Apple Music transfer moves, how the track matching works, how long it takes, and the handful of things worth knowing before you start. If you just want to get going, download FreeYourMusic, connect both accounts, pick what to move and hit transfer — the rest of this guide is here for when you want the detail.
What transfers to Apple Music, and what does not
The four things most people care about all move: your playlists (with their original names and song order kept intact), your liked or saved songs, your saved albums, and the artists you follow. You can move everything in one pass or pick individual playlists — track counts are shown before you commit, so there are no surprises.
A few things cannot cross over, and it is better to know up front. Spotify-generated playlists such as Discover Weekly and Release Radar are algorithmic and unique to Spotify, so they transfer as a snapshot of their current tracks rather than as living playlists. Podcasts do not move — Apple hosts podcasts in a separate app — and locally uploaded files that only exist on your device are not part of your streaming library. Everything that is a real catalogue track, though, is fair game.
How FreeYourMusic matches your tracks
Behind every clean transfer is track matching. FreeYourMusic identifies each Spotify song and finds the same recording in Apple Music’s catalogue, preferring the industry-standard ISRC code where it is available and falling back to title, artist, album and duration when it is not. That combination is what lets a 1,000-track library land on the other side with names and order preserved.
No two catalogues are identical, so a small number of tracks — regional exclusives, a remaster that only one service carries, a remix with different metadata — may not have a perfect counterpart. FreeYourMusic never silently drops these. Anything imperfect is flagged for one-tap Rematch with suggested alternatives, so you decide what to do instead of discovering a gap weeks later.
How long does a Spotify to Apple Music transfer take?
Most transfers finish in minutes. Once both accounts are connected, a library of around 1,000 tracks typically completes in under ten minutes. Very large libraries — tens of thousands of songs across dozens of playlists — can take longer, but you can start it and walk away; the transfer runs on its own and you can pick up on another device if you like.
Because FreeYourMusic has native apps for iPhone, iPad, Android, Mac, Windows and Linux, you are not tied to one machine. Start the Spotify to Apple Music move on your laptop and check the progress on your phone — it is the same account and the same transfer.
Spotify vs Apple Music: what actually changes
Your music comes with you, but the experience around it shifts. Apple Music includes lossless and hi-res lossless audio, plus Spatial Audio with Dolby Atmos, at no extra cost — a genuine upgrade if you have been on Spotify’s compressed tiers. Catalogues are broadly comparable in size, though specific live sets, regional releases or indie uploads can differ between the two.
Day to day, you trade Spotify’s cross-device Connect and its collaborative-playlist culture for Apple Music’s tight integration with the Apple ecosystem — Siri, the Home app, and seamless handoff between iPhone, Mac and HomePod. Family plans on both services cost about the same, so the decision usually comes down to audio quality, devices you already own, and which recommendations you prefer.
Do you need to keep Spotify while you transfer?
Yes — keep your Spotify subscription active until the transfer is done and you have checked the result. FreeYourMusic needs to read your Spotify library while it copies to Apple Music, and keeping both live means you never lose access to your collection mid-move. Cancel Spotify only once you are happy everything landed.
Worth noting: Apple Music does not have a permanent free tier the way Spotify does, so you will need an Apple Music trial or subscription on the destination side to receive the transfer. Your password is never shared with FreeYourMusic in either direction — each service is connected through its own official login screen.
Tips for a clean migration
Start with a quick tidy: delete the dead Spotify playlists you will never miss so you are not carrying clutter across. Transfer your most important playlists first and spot-check a couple of them in Apple Music before moving the rest — it builds confidence in the match quality. When the transfer finishes, open the Rematch list and resolve any flagged tracks while the context is fresh.
If you share playlists with friends, remember that collaborative editing does not carry between services; the songs move, but the collaboration is a Spotify feature. And once your library is on Apple Music, take a minute to re-download your offline playlists on mobile so your commute is covered from day one.
Keeping Spotify and Apple Music in sync afterwards
A one-time move is not the only option. If you are not ready to fully commit — or you share a household that uses both services — FreeYourMusic’s Auto-Sync keeps two libraries mirrored, pushing new additions across every fifteen minutes so a song you save on Spotify shows up on Apple Music without you thinking about it.
And if you ever want to reverse course, the transfer runs just as happily the other way, from Apple Music back to Spotify. Your library is yours; FreeYourMusic simply makes it portable. Download the app, connect Spotify and Apple Music, and see how much of your collection comes across — the free tier lets you try it before you upgrade.
