Four steps. The same on iPhone, Android, Mac, Windows and Linux.
Quick answer
To transfer YouTube to Amazon Music, install FreeYourMusic, select YouTube as the source and Amazon Music as the destination, choose the playlists you want, and start the transfer. The app finds each song on Amazon Music and lists any track it could not match.

- 2
Choose Amazon Music as the destination

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

Moving from YouTube to Amazon Music, explained
If your music has lived on YouTube as playlists of videos, moving to Amazon Music turns it into a proper audio library you can summon with Alexa and hear in Ultra HD. FreeYourMusic reads your YouTube playlists through Google’s official sign-in and recreates them inside Amazon Music as matched tracks.
This guide explains what transfers, what cannot, how videos are matched to songs, how long it takes, and how the two 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 Amazon Music, and what does not
Your YouTube playlists of music videos become Amazon Music playlists of tracks, keeping names and order. Your liked videos do not transfer to Amazon Music. Move all your playlists or pick playlists individually, with counts shown before you commit.
Because YouTube holds far more than music, some entries will not translate. Non-music videos have no song to match, and private, deleted or region-blocked videos cannot be read. Live and rare uploads may lack an Amazon counterpart, so those are flagged rather than forced.
How FreeYourMusic matches your tracks
Converting a video library to audio is a matching problem. FreeYourMusic reads each video’s title and artist and finds the same recording in Amazon Music. A recording code such as ISRC is used where present, but YouTube videos often lack one, so title, artist, album and duration do most of the work.
Music videos with messy titles can be ambiguous, so FreeYourMusic never silently drops them — anything uncertain is flagged for one-tap Rematch with suggestions, letting you confirm the clean studio version.
How long does a YouTube to Amazon Music transfer take?
Most transfers finish in minutes. With both accounts connected, around 1,000 items usually completes in under ten minutes. Larger playlists 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.
YouTube vs Amazon Music: what actually changes
This is a shift from a free video platform to a dedicated audio service with voice control. On YouTube your music lived as free, ad-supported videos. Amazon Music gives you a music library with HD and Ultra HD lossless on the Unlimited tier and deep Alexa and Echo integration.
What you give up is the video itself. But if you mostly wanted the songs and a home full of Echo speakers to play them, converting your YouTube playlists into an Amazon Music library makes everything answer to your voice — just aim for Unlimited over the Prime-bundled tier.
Do you need to keep YouTube access while you transfer?
Yes — keep signed in to YouTube until the transfer is finished and checked. FreeYourMusic reads your YouTube playlists while copying them into Amazon Music, and keeping both live means you never lose the source mid-move.
YouTube is free, so nothing needs cancelling, and on the destination side Amazon Music Unlimited is the better home for a full library than the more limited Prime-bundled version. Both connect through their own official sign-in, and your password is never shared with FreeYourMusic.
Tips for a clean migration
Weed out the non-music videos from your playlists first so the transfer focuses on actual songs. Move a couple of playlists and check the matches in Amazon Music — confirming you got studio recordings rather than covers or live clips is worth the minute.
When the transfer finishes, work through the Rematch list, since music-video titles produce more ambiguous matches. If you will listen through Alexa, set up your voice shortcuts and download your key playlists for offline listening.
Keeping YouTube and Amazon Music in sync afterwards
A one-time move is not your only option. If you keep building playlists on YouTube, FreeYourMusic’s Auto-Sync mirrors the libraries on a schedule so a video you add to one becomes a matched track in Amazon Music without effort.
And the transfer runs the other way too, from Amazon Music back to YouTube, if you want video versions. Your collection stays portable. Download FreeYourMusic, connect YouTube and Amazon Music, and see how much comes across — the free tier lets you try first.
