Apple Expands Apple Music Transfer Tool to U.S. and Eight Other Markets

A built-in SongShift-powered flow matches collections to Apple Music’s catalog, preserving users’ originals on their current services.

Overview

  • An updated Apple Support document confirms availability in the United States, United Kingdom, Canada, Brazil, France, Germany, Mexico, Australia, and New Zealand.
  • Users can move user-created playlists, liked songs, albums, and saved libraries into Apple Music from rival platforms through the new Transfer Music option in the app or on the web.
  • Apple Music matches incoming tracks to its catalog and offers alternate versions when needed, with up to 30 days for users to review any unmatched items.
  • Transfers leave existing libraries on the source service intact, and service-generated playlists are not eligible for migration.
  • Coverage notes support for sources beyond Spotify, including Amazon Music, Deezer, Tidal, and YouTube, and arrives as Spotify rolls out direct messaging and contends with recent artist departures.
