How to Transfer an Apple Music Playlist to Spotify for Free
Many people use Apple Music. Many more use Spotify. You may want to transfer your music from one service to another for your own use, or you may want to share a playlist with a friend who doesn’t use Apple Music. Although Apple Music offers a way to share a playlist with another Apple Music user, there is no built-in way to share a playlist to another platform.
Fortunately, there is an easy and free way to share a playlist from Apple Music to Spotify using a third-party app. In this article, we will tell you how to download and use an app called SongShift on your iPhone to share your playlists.
The best app to convert a playlist: SongShift
With SongShift, you can transfer albums, playlists and songs between music services such as Apple Music, Spotify, Pandora and more. With the Pro version, you can also share playlists directly with friends.
