How to transfer playlists from Qobuz to Apple Music
Four steps. The same on iPhone, Android, Mac, Windows and Linux.
Quick answer
To transfer Qobuz to Apple Music, install FreeYourMusic, select Qobuz 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 Qobuz as the source
Open FreeYourMusic, tap the Qobuz tile on the "Select source" screen and sign in on the Qobuz sign-in page. FreeYourMusic does not store your Qobuz 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 Qobuz 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 Qobuz to Apple Music
Qobuz as the source
Playlists, favourite tracks, saved albums and followed artists can move from Qobuz.

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.

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

Moving from Qobuz to Apple Music, explained
Moving from Qobuz to Apple Music keeps you in lossless territory while trading Qobuz’s editorial depth and store for Apple’s device integration and Spatial Audio. FreeYourMusic reads your Qobuz library through Qobuz’s official sign-in and recreates it inside Apple Music — playlists and favourites.
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 favourites arrive as saved songs. Followed artists do not carry over. Move everything or choose playlists individually, with counts shown before you commit.
A couple of things to note. Albums purchased and downloaded from the Qobuz store are owned files, not part of a streaming library, so they are not matched by a streaming-to-streaming transfer. Qobuz’s editorial booklets are unique to Qobuz, and podcasts live in a separate Apple app.
How FreeYourMusic matches your tracks
Each Qobuz track 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. Because both services care about editions, this precision keeps you on the right masters.
Where a specific reissue or performance has no exact Apple Music counterpart, FreeYourMusic never silently drops it — anything uncertain is flagged for one-tap Rematch, which matters especially in classical, where the same work exists in many recordings.
How long does a Qobuz 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.
Qobuz vs Apple Music: what actually changes
Both stream lossless, so this is about depth and ecosystem rather than a fidelity leap. Qobuz offers hi-res FLAC, outstanding classical and jazz catalogues, editorial booklets and a store to own albums. Apple Music offers hi-res lossless plus Spatial Audio with Dolby Atmos and deep device integration.
What you give up is Qobuz’s liner-note depth and ownership option; what you gain is Siri, HomePod, handoff across Apple devices and Replay. If you live in the Apple world and value Spatial Audio, Apple Music is the reason to move.
Do you need to keep Qobuz while you transfer?
Yes — keep Qobuz active until the transfer is finished and checked. FreeYourMusic reads your Qobuz library while copying it into Apple Music, and keeping both live means you never lose access mid-move. Cancel Qobuz only once you are satisfied.
Neither service has a permanent free tier, so you will need an Apple Music trial or subscription to receive the transfer while Qobuz 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
Transfer a few classical or jazz playlists first and check the matches carefully — since those genres hinge on the exact recording, an early review is worth the minute. Note separately any purchased downloads that will not follow.
When the transfer finishes, resolve the Rematch list with attention to performances, then turn on lossless and Spatial Audio in Apple Music’s settings and download your core albums for offline listening.
Keeping Qobuz and Apple Music in sync afterwards
A one-time move is not your only option. If you keep Qobuz for depth and Apple Music for its ecosystem, FreeYourMusic’s Auto-Sync mirrors the libraries on a schedule so a save on one turns up on the other.
And the transfer runs the other way too, from Apple Music back to Qobuz, if you change your mind. Your collection stays portable. Download FreeYourMusic, connect Qobuz and Apple Music, and see how much comes across — the free tier lets you try first.
