The Apple Music migration tool makes it easy to transfer music from services like Spotify to Apple Music.
Apple Music migration tool finally arrives in the U.S.

Overview

  • Apple’s migration tool is now live in nine countries: Australia, New Zealand, the United States, the United Kingdom, Brazil, Canada, France, Germany, and Mexico.
  • Users can start a transfer from Music settings on iPhone, iPad, or Android under Transfer Music from Other Music Services, or on the web at music.apple.com via the profile menu.
  • The tool matches selected tracks, albums, and user-created playlists to Apple Music’s catalog rather than moving audio files, and it leaves the source library unchanged.
  • Service-generated playlists are not supported, and users have up to 30 days to review unmatched items and choose suggested alternatives, with results varying by source service.
  • Apple updated its Support document for the rollout, which avoids naming Spotify, as coverage also notes Spotify’s new direct-messages feature and recent artist withdrawals from the platform.
