Move, convert or import: one transfer from Amazon Music to YouTube Music
Whatever you call it, it is the same job. You can move your Amazon Music playlists to YouTube Music, convert a Amazon Music playlist into a YouTube Music playlist, or import your Amazon Music library into YouTube Music. Free Your Music does all three in one transfer, for one playlist or for a library of thousands of songs.

Moving from Amazon Music to YouTube Music, explained
YouTube Music offers a free ad-supported tier and a catalogue that reaches past studio releases into live cuts, remixes and rarities from YouTube itself, with room for your own personal uploads. Moving from Amazon Music keeps your collection while opening that door. Free Your Music reads your Amazon Music library through Amazon’s official sign-in and rebuilds your playlists inside YouTube Music.
This guide covers 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 Free Your Music, connect both accounts and pick what to move — the detail is below.
What transfers to YouTube Music, and what does not
Your playlists move with names and order preserved. Saved albums and followed artists stay behind. 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 — though YouTube Music’s personal-uploads feature lets you add those manually once you arrive. Amazon’s stations and Alexa routines are Amazon features, and podcasts do not cross over.
How Free Your Music matches your tracks
Each Amazon Music song is matched to the same recording in YouTube Music, preferring the ISRC code assigned to every recording and falling back to title, artist, album and duration otherwise. That precision keeps a large library from filling up with the wrong versions.
YouTube Music’s catalogue is huge and varied — the same song can exist as a studio master, a topic upload and a live take — so Free Your Music aims for the closest official match and flags anything uncertain for one-tap Rematch, letting you pick exactly the version you meant.
How long does an Amazon Music to YouTube 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 walk away.
Free Your Music runs on iPhone, iPad and Android, and in the browser on any Mac, Windows or Linux computer, so the move is not tied to one device. Start it on your laptop and follow progress on your phone; it is the same account and the same transfer.
Amazon Music vs YouTube Music: what actually changes
The clearest differences are cost and breadth. YouTube Music has a free, ad-supported tier and a catalogue that reaches into live sets, remixes and rarities from YouTube, plus personal uploads — where Amazon Music’s best experience sits behind the Unlimited tier and its Ultra HD lossless.
On experience, you trade Amazon’s Alexa and Echo integration for YouTube Music’s reach and its ties to YouTube and Google, where discovery follows your viewing habits. If you often chase versions Amazon simply does not carry, YouTube Music is usually where they live.
Do you need to keep Amazon Music while you transfer?
Yes — keep Amazon Music active until the transfer is finished and checked. Free Your Music reads your Amazon Music library while copying it into YouTube Music, and keeping both live means you never lose access mid-move. Cancel only once you are satisfied.
YouTube Music has a free tier, so you can receive a transfer without paying, while Premium removes ads and adds background and offline play. Both services connect through their own official sign-in, and your password is never shared with Free Your Music.
Tips for a clean migration
Tidy your Amazon Music playlists first so you carry only what you actually play. Transfer a couple of favourites and check them in YouTube Music — because it holds so many versions of popular songs, an early spot-check confirms you are getting studio masters rather than random uploads.
When the transfer finishes, resolve the Rematch list. If you had purchased MP3s you cannot live without, add them through YouTube Music’s personal-uploads feature, then download your key playlists for offline listening on Premium.
Keeping Amazon Music and YouTube Music in sync afterwards
A one-time move is not your only option. If you keep a foot in both, Free Your Music’s Auto-Sync mirrors the two libraries on a schedule so a song saved on Amazon Music appears in YouTube Music without you thinking about it.
And the transfer runs the other way too, from YouTube Music back to Amazon Music, if you switch again. Your library stays portable. Download Free Your Music, connect Amazon Music and YouTube Music, and see how much comes across — every transfer is free, with no song limit.
