Apple Music Rolls Out Built-In Spotify Playlist Transfer in Eight Countries

The move seeks to win over users reconsidering Spotify after price increases plus controversy over the CEO’s investments.

Overview

  • iPhone and iPad users can start transfers via Settings → Apps → Music → Transfer music from other services, with a fallback at music.apple.com if the option is missing.
  • The tool copies only playlists created by the user and leaves out followed or service‑generated lists.
  • Songs not found in Apple Music’s catalogue are flagged as needing review so users can pick alternatives or omit them.
  • The feature is available in Mexico, Brazil, Canada, France, Germany, the United Kingdom, Australia and New Zealand.
  • Coverage notes heightened competition as Spotify raises Mexican prices and retains roughly 73% market share, while Apple Music emphasizes audio quality and lower Individual and Family plan pricing.
