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

  • An updated Apple support document spotted by MacRumors confirms the transfer tool is now available in the United States, Brazil, Canada, France, Germany, Mexico, and the United Kingdom after earlier rollouts in Australia and New Zealand.
  • Users initiate transfers from Music settings on iPhone or iPad, or within Apple Music on Android, by selecting Transfer Music from Other Music Services and signing into a source service.
  • Apple Music attempts to match tracks to its catalog, flagging items as Some Music Needs Review when no exact match is found so users can choose alternates before saving.
  • AppleInsider reports the workflow draws on SongShift and notes a web option at music.apple.com that allows transfers after signing in and selecting the Transfer Music option.
  • Spotify’s Messages feature enables one‑to‑one sharing of songs, podcasts, and audiobooks with text and emoji reactions, sent from Now Playing and managed via message requests accessed from the profile photo.
