3 Free Ways to Move Spotify Playlist to Apple Music [Auto Sync]
If you want to switch to Apple Music from Spotify or back, you probably want to convert your favorite Spotify playlists to Apple Music too. In this article, I will show you four methods to do it. One even helps you sync Spotify playlist to Apple Music automatically once set up, twice a day. Read on to see the detailed steps.
Most of the people who use Apple Music have an iPhone, so these three methods I listed here will all be available on your iOS device. The first option is a web-based tool which allows you to transfer playlists on many music streaming services including YouTube, Deezer, Spotify, Tidal, Amazon Music, etc. If you do trust on third-party services with your account login info, then you should try the third method that is using Apple’s application Shortcuts.
UkeySoft Spotify Music Converter is an expert in downloading Spotify songs as MP3 to local drive. With its support, you can easily convert your Spotify songs to DRM-free MP3, AAC, FLAC and WAV at.
Method 1: Move Spotify Playlist to Apple Music online
No matter what device you use, you can use this online tool to transfer playlist to another platform. The best part, it is totally free (no ads, no limitations) and very easy to operate.
Step 1. Go to the website: www.tunemymusic.com/
step 2. Select Spotify.
Step 3. Paste the Spotify playlist URL into the search bar. Select ‘Load Playlist’.
step 4. Select Next Destination.
Step 5. Select Apple Music, and log into your account to get started.
Very simple, as you can see. All playlists are supported even those are not in your library. It is also easy to do the opposite by transferring Apple Music to Spotify.
If you want to transfer a lot of playlists, this method is not that convenient because you need to login to Apple Music account for each playlist you transfer. If you have two-factor authentication, this is going to take some time. In that case, you should try the other 2 methods.
Luckily, thanks to the recent update, you can create a free account of Tunemymusic, so you can use it to automatically sync your Spotify playlist to Apple Music.

Method 3: Convert Spotify Playlist to Apple Music with Workflow or Shortcuts
SongShift only allows you to transfer playlists your library. If you also want to transfer playlists that are not added into your Library, then this Shortcuts method is for you. Shortcuts app is owned by Apple itself, so you don’t authentication to transfer Spotify playlists to Apple Music.
Well, this will take a little more efforts to set it up. Once set up, the process is easy.
Step 1. Download the Shortcuts app from Appstore, which is the updated version of the Workflow app in iOS 11 or previous versions. Apple has made Shortcuts as one of the Stock apps on iPhone or iPad, so you don’t need to download additional apps.

Method 4: Sync Spotify Playlist to Apple Music Automatically
If you use both Apple Music and Spotify, it will be great to have tracks added to Spotify automatically synced to Apple Music. Fortunately, I have found a free web tool to do that just and more.
All you need to do is just go to the Soundsgood website and create an account. Then you can import the Spotify playlist via playlist link. Once the playlist loaded, you can select Apple Music to sync along with other music services like Deezer, YouTube Music, SoundCloud, Napster, Qobuz, etc.
After you authorize Soundsgpod with your Apple Music access, you can click PUBLISH AND SYNC and then you are all set. When you add a track to your Spotify playlist, the track will also be added to your Apple Music playlist if a matched track is found in Apple Music.
Bonus: Transfer music from Spotify to iPhone Music library
If you don’t have an Apple Music subscription, the above 3 methods do not work. In that case, you can just download Spotify music on your computer and then transfer the music to your Music library on the iPhone or iPad.
To download high-quality music from Spotify, you can use Allavsoft, your ultimate music and video downloader for Windows and Mac. You can download single tracks as you like or Spotify playlists.

From its beginning, Spotify had one mission: Give subscribers access to a nearly limitless, all-you-can-stream jukebox of millions of songs for one monthly fee. By doing that well, it gained millions of users and helped transform the way we listen to music. But now, thanks to the introduction of Spotify apps, it's letting third-party developers enhance the Spotify experience. These free apps add new features to Spotify, including new ways to discover music, customized concert information, and even help learning new languages. Check out these suggestions for 10 great Spotify apps you need to try.

Spotify changed the way listeners enjoy music. Rather than downloading songs and albums and loading them onto MP3 players and smartphones, Spotify's all-you-can-stream service gives virtually any Internet-connected device access to a nearly unlimited jukebox of streaming music. When it introduced apps, the company aimed to change the way you enjoy Spotify itself.
Just like smartphone apps, Spotify apps are small programs that, once added to your account, supply functionality such as curated playlists, customized recommendations for new music, concert listings, and lyrics. Spotify apps are free and can enhance your experience. Here are 10 great Spotify apps to check out.
Discover New Music
These Spotify apps get you started discovering new music.
Lazify - Want suggestions of new music you might like based on what you already enjoy? Lazify (Figure 1) can help. Begin by dragging a song or playlist to the Lazify app, and it creates a playlist of music that you should enjoy. (If you're an iTunes user, this may sound familiar; it's the same principle behind Apple's iTunes Genius feature.) Playlists can be 10, 25, or 50 songs. If you really love Lazify's mix, save the playlist by clicking the save button or dragging it to your playlists. One note: if you drag a full album by the same artist to Lazify, the playlist it creates will be very heavily populated by that artist and will feature fewer new bands. For the best variety, drag a single song to Lazify.
Figure 1 Lazify builds a playlist of music based on your suggestion to help you discover new songs you'll like.
Sifter - This app (see Figure 2) functions much like Lazify, but instead of dragging a song or playlist into Sifter, type in the name of a song or artist you want to begin with. The app then lives up to its name and sifts through Spotify's huge music catalog to create a playlist of similar music. You can listen to the songs, refresh the playlist to generate new results, or—if you like what Sifter created—save the playlist to your Spotify account. Sign into Facebook via Sifter and you can see which of your friends like the artists you're discovering.
Figure 2 Like Lazify, Sifter introduces you to new music based on what you already like.
Curated Recommendations
These Spotify apps offer recommendations from expert music fans.
Pitchfork - Having a computer suggest new music based on algorithms is good, but sometimes there's no substitute for an expert music fan suggesting a great album. That's what the Pitchfork app (see Figure 3) offers. Pitchfork is one of the leading music websites. While it started out covering primarily indie rock, it has since expanded to feature everything from R&B to metal, hip hop to folk, while still covering rock in the exacting way that made it a success. The Pitchfork app offers all of Pitchfork's reviews—from daily installments to longer features like its Top 100 Tracks of the year—with embedded Spotify playlists.
Figure 3 The Pitchfork app includes quick access to Pitchfork's reviews, with embedded playlists.
Rolling Stone - For a more establishment (but no less authoritative) perspective on music than Pitchfork offers, check out the Rolling Stone app (see Figure 4). This app offers album reviews from the legendary music and culture magazine with embedded playlists for one-click access to the music you're reading about, as well as playlists from the magazine, such as the 100 Greatest Guitarists of All Time and mixes created specifically for Spotify.
Figure 4 Reviews from Rolling Stone are just one of the ways you'll find great music with this app.
Concerts & Events
Everybody loves live music. With these apps, find concerts and you’ll be crowd-surfing in no time.
Bandsintown Concerts -Want to find out when your favorite musicians are playing concerts near you? Bandsintown Concerts (see Figure 5) can help. Drag a song into the app to get information on that artist's performances. Connect this app to your Facebook account and it can access your Spotify playlists and provide the same info. Just looking for some live music? Bandsintown also lets you search by date and location for recommended concerts. When you've found one you're interested in, you can be delivered with one click to online options for buying tickets.
Figure 5 Find concerts based on date, location, and musician using Bandsintown Concerts.
FestConnect - If multi-artist festivals are more your speed, you'll enjoy FestConnect (see Figure 6). Enter a location, a radius within which to search, and a date and you'll get a list of all music festivals in the region at that time (the app is sponsored by McDonald's, so you'll also see the location of every McDonald's near the festival; that may or may not be a bonus, depending on your eating habits). For each festival, you can see the bands performing, listen to their music, and—if you're logged into Facebook—share details of what festivals you'll be at so you can make plans to meet your friends.
Figure 6 FestConnect helps you find virtually any music festival, based on location, artist, and date.
Advanced Tools
Some Spotify apps do more than just help you discover music. These apps offer additional features that turn things up a notch.
musiXmatch - In the good old days, CDs often came with booklets that listed all the lyrics for each song on the album. In our age of downloadable and streaming music, booklets are a rarity, as are lyric sheets. musiXmatch (see Figure 7) changes that by displaying lyrics for the songs you listen to in Spotify. Start playing a song, then go into the app and you'll not only see the song lyrics, but they are synced to the song so you read the lyrics as you hear them sung. You can also contribute lyrics or fix existing ones that are incorrect.
Figure 7 Read the lyrics as the band sings them using musiXmatch.
Playmysong - Use this Spotify app in conjunction with the free Playmysong smartphone app for Android, iOS, or Windows Phone to give friends, family, and party guests control over your Spotify account. This app (see Figure 8) turns Spotify into a crowd-controlled jukebox, making it perfect for parties where guests are the DJs or for just getting together with friends and swapping songs. You can control how many songs each person can play per hour, as well as how many times the same song can be played in the same timeframe.
Figure 8 Turn your Spotify app into a jukebox for your friends and family using Playmysong.
Not Music, Still Worthy
Spotify is good for more than just music. Who knew? Now that you know, you can take advantage of these cool apps.
Listen Language - Here's a kind of recorded audio that you might not expect to find on Spotify, but that can make a subscription even more valuable: foreign language instruction. This app (see Figure 9) collects foreign language courses from Spotify and then groups them by language for easy learning. The app includes 24 languages, including Spanish, French, Japanese, Thai, Ukranian, and Tamil. Some languages have more courses than others (French and Spanish have six each, while Swahili has only one), but this is a pretty cool feature of Spotify. If you're interested in learning a new language, Listen Language could be a good first step.
Figure 9 Learn a foreign language using Spotify and Listen Language.
Official Comedy - While Spotify's main claim to fame is the access it provides to music, what it really offers is access to recorded audio. Music is the biggest category, but as the Official Comedy app proves, audio includes stand-up comedy, too. This app helps you find comedy recordings on Spotify by presenting you both featured comedians and themed topics. These themed playlists combine routines from many different comics on a single subject to give a hilarious look at the topic. The app also lets you share good one-liners, and links to the Spotify tracks they come from, on Facebook.
