Switching apps from Spotify to Apple Music can take either hours or minutes. A couple of factors will impact how long you need to spend. For the average music listener with 300 tracks or less, you can shift your songs for free in minutes.
Why move from Spotify to Apple Music?
Apple Music is a music fan favorite thanks to a few of its main features, including:
- 100 million songs
- 30,000 curated playlists
- Siri integration - so you can ask for any track
- Free trial with no commitment (6 months with an Apple Product or 1 Month direct)
- Stream ad-free music
- Original shows, concerts, and exclusives — and live and on‑demand radio stations hosted by artists
- Apple device integration
- The Apple Music Classical is available on other supported devices
- Spatial Audio
- Dolby Atmos

Plus, if you opt for the Apple Music Family, you also get personalized recommendations for each family member, as well as personalized libraries and unlimited access for up to 6 people.
Tip: Although you don’t need it, before making the switch, it is a good idea to go through your music library to make sure that you’re moving your favorite tracks. If there are songs you skip often or songs hidden in Spotify, it is a good time to remove them - so you only take the songs you want to keep.
