Spotify has quietly added a built-in option to import playlists from competing streaming services — and it did so by teaming up with a company that already specializes in moving music between platforms. If you’ve ever wanted to bring your curated lists from Apple Music, YouTube Music, or other apps into Spotify, this update makes the process simple and native.
One click (almost): how the new import flow works
Open the Spotify mobile app and go to Your Library. Scroll to the bottom of the page and tap "Import your music." Spotify will walk you through a connection to TuneMyMusic, the third-party service powering the transfer. After you authorize the source platform, pick the playlists you want to move and start the import. There are no limits on how many playlists you can transfer or how many tracks each list can contain.
Why Spotify partnered with TuneMyMusic
This isn’t a brand-new capability in the world of streaming — TuneMyMusic and similar tools have long offered playlist migration across services. What’s new is that Spotify has integrated the experience into its own app, streamlining the process for users who want to consolidate their libraries. That convenience could matter if you’re switching services or simply want to try Spotify without rebuilding every playlist from scratch.
Quick example
Imagine you have a decade-spanning playlist on Apple Music and a weekend workout list on YouTube Music. With this feature you can import both into Spotify in a few taps, preserving most matched tracks automatically. It’s designed for inbound transfers only — moving playlists into Spotify — not exporting them out.
What to expect and where it’s available
- The feature is rolling out globally over the coming days; if you don’t see it yet, check back soon.
- Supported sources depend on what TuneMyMusic connects with, which usually includes big players like Apple Music, YouTube Music, Deezer, Tidal, and others.
- Because Spotify routes imports through TuneMyMusic, you’ll need to grant permission to the third-party service during the process.
Switching streaming services has always been a nuisance because of playlists and personal libraries. By folding an established migration tool into its app, Spotify removes a major friction point — and makes it easier for listeners to try another platform without losing months or years of carefully built playlists.
