What transfers from Apple Music to Qobuz
Everything FreeYourMusic moves for you in one click — no manual rebuilds.
Moving from Apple Music to Qobuz, explained
Qobuz is the audiophile’s streaming service — hi-res FLAC, unusual depth in classical and jazz, editorial booklets that read like proper liner notes, and a store where you can buy music outright. For an Apple Music listener who already values lossless, it is a move toward even more depth and ownership. FreeYourMusic reads your Apple Music library through Apple’s official sign-in and rebuilds your playlists, liked songs, saved albums and followed artists inside Qobuz.
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 Qobuz, and what does not
Your playlists move with names and order preserved, liked songs arrive as favourites, saved albums come across and followed artists carry over. Move everything or choose playlists individually, with counts shown before you commit.
A few things cannot follow. Apple’s editorial mixes and Replay are unique to Apple Music, podcasts stay in Apple’s separate app, and local iTunes files are not part of a streaming catalogue. Qobuz is deep but curated rather than exhaustive, so some mainstream pop or regional tracks may have fewer options than on Apple Music.
How FreeYourMusic matches your tracks
Each Apple Music song is matched to the same recording in Qobuz, preferring the ISRC code assigned to every recording and falling back to title, artist, album and duration otherwise. Because Qobuz cares about editions and masters, this precision matters — you want the right recording, not a stray compilation cut.
Where a track has no exact counterpart, FreeYourMusic flags it for one-tap Rematch rather than dropping it silently. That is especially valuable in classical, where the same work exists in many recordings and choosing the right performance is the whole point.
How long does an Apple Music to Qobuz 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 come back later.
FreeYourMusic runs natively on iPhone, iPad, Android, Mac, Windows and Linux, so the move is not tied to one machine. Start it on your Mac and check progress on your phone; it is the same account and the same transfer.
Apple Music vs Qobuz: what actually changes
Both stream lossless, so this is about depth rather than a leap in fidelity. Apple Music offers hi-res lossless plus Spatial Audio with Dolby Atmos and tight device integration. Qobuz answers with hi-res FLAC, outstanding classical and jazz catalogues, editorial booklets, and the option to buy and own albums outright.
What you give up is Apple’s ecosystem — Siri, HomePod, seamless handoff and Replay. Qobuz is more of a curated library and store than a slick, device-woven app. For serious listeners who read about the records they love and want to own some of them, that trade is the appeal.
Do you need to keep Apple Music while you transfer?
Yes — keep Apple Music active until the transfer is finished and checked. FreeYourMusic reads your Apple Music library while copying it into Qobuz, and keeping both live means you never lose access mid-move. Cancel Apple Music only once you are satisfied.
Neither service has a permanent free tier, so you will need a Qobuz trial or subscription to receive the transfer while Apple Music stays active for the move. Both connect through their own official sign-in, and your password is never shared with FreeYourMusic.
Tips for a clean migration
Move a few favourite albums first and audition them in Qobuz — since you are switching for depth and sound, confirm the matched masters and hi-res editions are what you wanted before transferring everything. Tidy your Apple Music playlists beforehand.
When the transfer finishes, resolve the Rematch list carefully, especially classical works where the exact performance counts. Then set Qobuz’s streaming quality to hi-res in settings and download your core albums so you hear the difference offline too.
Keeping Apple Music and Qobuz in sync afterwards
A one-time move is not your only option. If you keep Apple Music for casual listening and Qobuz for serious sessions, FreeYourMusic’s Auto-Sync mirrors the libraries on a schedule so a track you add on one turns up on the other.
And the transfer runs the other way too, from Qobuz back to Apple Music, if you ever want to. Your library stays portable. Download FreeYourMusic, connect Apple Music and Qobuz, and see how much comes across — the free tier lets you try before you upgrade.
