For music lovers who switch between streaming services, managing playlists can be a hassle. If you use Spotify, but have favourite playlists in Apple Music, YouTube Music, or Amazon Music, an outright switch to another platform often feels impossible. Users have always relied on third-party apps, most of them paid, to migrate playlists across different services. But Spotify has finally put an end to this problem.

The company has now introduced a built-in playlist transfer feature, enabling you to import playlists from other streaming services right into Spotify. The new option is powered by an official partnership with TuneMyMusic, and the feature is rolling out globally on the Spotify mobile app over the coming days. This addition by Spotify makes it more seamless than ever to put your music taste in one place without the friction of manually recreating playlists or using unreliable tools.

Spotify's New Built-In Playlists Transfer

Spotify already is one of the biggest music streaming platforms in the world, with over 713 million monthly active users. But competition from Apple Music, YouTube Music, and Amazon Music is fiercer than ever, as users are often locked into the playlists they've built up over years.

This new feature further smoothes out the experience for existing users by opening the door to new subscribers who may have avoided making the switch due to scattered playlists. The convenience is huge: no more exporting, no more converting, and no need to rebuild your library of playlists manually. The process remains entirely within Spotify's ecosystem. Integration with TuneMyMusic keeps this process reliable by having familiar UI flows and easy navigation for all users.

How to Transfer Playlists to Spotify

Transferring playlists to Spotify takes just a few steps. Here’s how you can do it:

Open the Spotify app on your smartphone.
Go to ‘Your Library’.
Scroll down to the bottom and tap ‘Import your music’ (located just below Add podcasts & shows).
You’ll now be redirected to TuneMyMusic.
Sign in using the account details of the streaming service from which you want to transfer your playlists.
Select the playlist(s) you want to move.
Tap Transfer, and TuneMyMusic will begin importing the songs into Spotify.

Once the migration is complete, your playlists will appear in your Spotify library. However, keep in mind that a few tracks may not transfer if they aren’t available on Spotify’s catalogue this is common with regional tracks, old releases, or rare mixes.

Apple Music Offers a Similar Feature

Apple Music also recently introduced a native playlist transfer feature (September 2025). If you’re an Apple Music user, you can import songs from other platforms directly through iOS and Android settings.

Here’s how Apple Music’s transfer works:

On iPhone/iPad:

Go to Settings > Apps > Music > Transfer Music from Other Music Services.

On Apple Music for Android:

Open the Apple Music app > More > Settings > Transfer Music from Other Music Services.

Choose the service, sign in, pick your playlists, and add them to your Apple Music library. Apple even offers alternate recommendations for unavailable tracks.

Who Can Use Spotify’s Playlist Transfer Feature?

Since the feature is rolling out in phases, it may take time to appear for all users. There’s one important requirement:

This playlist transfer feature is exclusive to Spotify Premium subscribers.

If you’re a free-tier user, you may not see the option yet.

For many users hesitating to switch because of existing playlists, this move removes the final barrier making now a perfect time to test Spotify’s premium offerings.

Spotify’s New Premium Plans in India

Alongside this major update, Spotify recently refreshed its Premium plans in India, introducing upgraded features and higher-quality streaming options.

✔ Premium Lite – ₹139/month

Ad-free listening
160kbps audio
No offline downloads

✔ Premium Standard – ₹199/month

Offline downloads
320kbps audio
Enhanced listening freedom

✔ Premium Platinum – ₹299/month

This new tier includes everything Spotify has to offer:

Lossless audio streaming
AI DJ
AI-generated playlists
Pro DJ software integration
Access for up to three household members

By comparison, Apple Music's lossless audio option starts at ₹ 119/month, but it does require an Apple ID; hence, it is less convenient for Android users. Spotify's strength still lies in its platform flexibility: it's universally available across Android, iOS, Windows, and web.

YouTube Music also retains cross-platform convenience but still lacks support for lossless audio, making Spotify a better option for audiophiles.

Playlist migration has always been one of the biggest pain points for users who want to make a switch to another service. That friction is finally gone, now that Spotify has native support, powered by TuneMyMusic. You can import playlists from Apple Music, YouTube Music, Amazon Music, and more, all without having to use third-party apps.

But more than a few long-time users of other platforms finally had an intriguing reason to switch to Spotify. For those who already used Spotify, it enhanced convenience and bolstered the value proposition of the platform.

The global rollout continues, and more users will have access soon. So if you've been waiting for a reason to switch to Spotify or bring all your music into one library, this is the time to do it.
