Apple Music Rolls Out Playlist Transfer Tool with SongShift Integration

The new feature, currently available in Australia and New Zealand, allows users to import songs and user-created playlists from competing streaming services.

Overview

  • Apple Music has introduced a native transfer feature powered by SongShift, enabling seamless migration of songs, albums, and user-created playlists from other streaming platforms.
  • The tool is currently in a limited rollout in Australia and New Zealand, with Apple signaling plans for broader global availability in the near future.
  • Transfers can be initiated through the Apple Music app on iPhone, iPad, Android, or via the web, preserving the integrity of original libraries on third-party services.
  • Unmatched tracks are flagged as 'Needs Review,' allowing users to select alternate versions from the Apple Music catalog to complete their libraries.
  • Only user-created playlists are eligible for transfer, while playlists curated by other music services are not supported.
