How to transfer playlists from Amazon Music to Apple Music
Four steps. The same on iPhone, Android, Mac, Windows and Linux.
Quick answer
To transfer Amazon Music to Apple Music, install FreeYourMusic, select Amazon Music as the source and Apple Music as the destination, choose the playlists you want, and start the transfer. The app finds each song on Apple Music and lists any track it could not match.
- 1
Connect Amazon Music as the source
Open FreeYourMusic, tap the Amazon Music tile on the "Select source" screen and sign in on the Amazon Music sign-in page. FreeYourMusic does not store your Amazon Music password.
- 2
Choose Apple Music as the destination
On the "Select destination" screen, tap Apple Music and sign in. FreeYourMusic needs access to your Apple Music library to create the playlists there.
- 3
Select what to move
Tick the playlists you want on Apple Music. Use the filters and the search field to find them, or select everything to move your whole Amazon Music library at once.
- 4
Start the transfer and check the results
Tap "Begin transfer". FreeYourMusic matches every song on Apple Music, keeps the playlist names and the song order, and shows a confidence score for each match. Use Rematch to fix any song it could not find.
Good to know before you move Amazon Music to Apple Music
Amazon Music as the source
FreeYourMusic moves your Amazon Music playlists and liked songs. Saved albums and followed artists cannot be moved from Amazon Music.
Read the Amazon Music guide →Apple Music as the destination
Apple Music needs an active subscription to add music. Apple does not let apps remove or reorder songs in a playlist, so sync only adds new songs there.
Read the Apple Music guide →Apple Music has a built-in import. Here is how FreeYourMusic is different.
Apple Music can import playlists from Amazon Music in Settings → Apps → Music → Transfer Music from Other Music Services, or at music.apple.com. It is a one-time import into Apple Music, and Apple does not offer it in every country.
| Built-in Apple Music import | FreeYourMusic | |
|---|---|---|
| Where your music can go | Apple Music only | Apple Music and 15 other services |
| Move between two Apple Music accounts | No | Yes |
| Keep playlists in sync after the move | No, one-time import | Yes, with Auto-Sync (Premium) |
| Back up your library | No | Yes, with Cloud Backup (Premium) |
| Move away from Apple Music later | No | Yes, in any direction |
For a quick one-time move, the built-in import can be enough. Use FreeYourMusic to keep services in sync, move between accounts, back up your library, or leave Apple Music later.
What transfers from Amazon Music to Apple Music
On every device
Move, convert or import: one transfer from Amazon Music to Apple Music
Whatever you call it, it is the same job. You can move your Amazon Music playlists to Apple Music, convert a Amazon Music playlist into a Apple Music playlist, or import your Amazon Music library into Apple Music. FreeYourMusic does all three in one transfer, for one playlist or for a library of thousands of songs.

Moving from Amazon Music to Apple Music, explained
If you are leaning into the Apple world — an iPhone in your pocket, a Mac on your desk, a HomePod in the corner — Apple Music slots in where Amazon Music never quite could. FreeYourMusic reads your Amazon Music library through Amazon’s official sign-in and rebuilds it inside Apple Music — playlists and liked songs — with no retyping.
This guide explains what transfers, what cannot, how songs are matched, how long it takes, and how the two services really differ. If you just want to begin, install FreeYourMusic, connect both accounts and pick what to move — the detail is below.
What transfers to Apple Music, and what does not
Your playlists move with names and order preserved, and liked songs arrive as saved tracks. Saved albums and followed artists do not carry over. Move everything or choose playlists individually, with counts shown before you commit.
A few things stay behind. Purchased or uploaded MP3s from Amazon are not part of the streaming catalogue and cannot be matched. Amazon’s auto-generated stations and Alexa routines are Amazon features, and podcasts do not cross into Apple Music.
How FreeYourMusic matches your tracks
Each Amazon Music song is matched to the same recording in Apple Music, preferring the ISRC code assigned to every recording and falling back to title, artist, album and duration otherwise. That precision keeps your matched library pointing at the right versions.
No two catalogues are identical, so the occasional regional release or odd remaster may lack a perfect counterpart. FreeYourMusic never silently drops a track — anything uncertain is flagged for one-tap Rematch, so you stay in control of every substitution.
How long does an Amazon Music to Apple Music transfer take?
Most transfers finish in minutes. With both accounts connected, around 1,000 tracks usually completes in under ten minutes. Larger libraries take longer, but the transfer runs on its own — start it and step away.
FreeYourMusic runs natively on iPhone, iPad, Android, Mac, Windows and Linux, so the move is not tied to one device. Start it on your laptop and check progress on your phone; it is the same account and the same transfer.
Amazon Music vs Apple Music: what actually changes
On sound these two are close — Amazon Music Unlimited offers HD and Ultra HD lossless, and Apple Music offers lossless, hi-res lossless and Spatial Audio with Dolby Atmos at no extra cost. The bigger practical change is which ecosystem you live in.
Amazon Music is built around Alexa and Echo; Apple Music is built around Siri, HomePod and seamless handoff between iPhone, Mac and iPad, with Replay each year. If your daily life runs on Apple devices rather than a house full of Echos, Apple Music will feel far more natural.
Do you need to keep Amazon Music while you transfer?
Yes — keep Amazon Music active until the transfer is finished and checked. FreeYourMusic reads your Amazon Music library while copying it into Apple Music, and keeping both live means you never lose access mid-move. Cancel only once you are satisfied.
Apple Music has no permanent free tier, so you will need an Apple Music trial or subscription to receive the transfer. Both services connect through their own official sign-in, and your password is never shared with FreeYourMusic.
Tips for a clean migration
Tidy your Amazon Music playlists first so you carry only what you actually play. If you owned purchased MP3s, remember those need re-adding separately. Transfer a couple of favourites and check them in Apple Music before moving the rest.
When the transfer finishes, resolve any flagged tracks in the Rematch list. Turn on lossless and Spatial Audio in Apple Music’s settings to make the most of the switch, and download your key playlists for offline listening.
Keeping Amazon Music and Apple Music in sync afterwards
A one-time move is not your only option. If your household straddles both, FreeYourMusic’s Auto-Sync mirrors the two libraries on a schedule so a song added on Amazon Music appears in Apple Music without effort.
And the transfer runs the other way too, from Apple Music back to Amazon Music, if you change your mind. Your collection stays portable. Download FreeYourMusic, connect Amazon Music and Apple Music, and see how much comes across — the free tier lets you try first.
