How Paradify transfers Apple Music to Spotify
Five steps. No downloads, no MP3 converters, no 30-day review clock.
What transfers and what doesn't
Spotify's catalog is huge — over 100 million tracks — and ISRC matching resolves the vast majority of any Apple Music library. Spotify doesn't offer a built-in importer for Apple Music, so a transfer tool is the only way. Here's the honest breakdown of what comes over and what doesn't.
✓Carries over cleanly
- •Playlists you created on Apple Music — playlist name, song order, and every track that has a match.
- •Songs you saved to your Apple Music library, batched into a playlist for transfer.
- •Albums and individual tracks via batch transfer of any playlist they live in.
- •ISRC-exact matches: same recording, same release year, same masters — no random live, cover, or karaoke versions.
✕Doesn't transfer (and why)
- •Apple-curated content — Mixes, Made For You, Discovery Station, and radio stations are generated by Apple's algorithm and aren't exposed to any transfer tool. Copy the tracks into a regular playlist first if you want a snapshot.
- •Personalization that lives in your Apple Music account — play counts, listening history, personalized recommendations, downloaded offline files, and queue history all stay behind. Spotify rebuilds these from your listening on its side over time.
- •Tracks Spotify doesn't have in your country, files you imported to Apple Music from your own collection (no ISRC), and collaborative playlists — sharing links don't carry over, so re-invite collaborators on Spotify.
Why move Apple Music playlists to Spotify with Paradify
Spotify's catalog spans over 100 million tracks alongside seven million podcasts and 250,000 audiobooks, plus the AI DJ, Discover Weekly, collaborative playlists, friend activity, and the year-end Wrapped recap. If you're switching for the recommendations, the social features, or just sharing with friends, the only real question is how to move your library without losing what you've curated. Paradify is the fastest no-download way to do it.
✓ISRC-accurate matching, not text guessing
Every Apple Music track has an ISRC — the same recording identifier Spotify indexes its catalog by — so Paradify matches the exact recording, not just the song name. Tools like Soundiiz, TuneMyMusic, and Playlistor match by song title and artist text, which is why fuzzy matches sometimes land on the wrong cover, live version, or karaoke take. Paradify avoids that.
✓Your Apple Music playlists stay put
Paradify only reads. Your original Apple Music playlists and library stay exactly as they are — nothing is edited or deleted, so you keep your music on both services for as long as you need. Connections use official OAuth, so Paradify never sees either password.
✓Batch transfers with a real report
Queue several playlists at once and come back when they're done. Every transfer comes with a per-track report — matched, unmatched, and why — that you can re-open any time. No device lock-in like SongShift's iOS-only app.
✓Free to start, no downloads
Transfer hundreds of tracks for free, then upgrade for unlimited transfers — no song-cap headaches like TuneMyMusic's 500-song free limit, Soundiiz's 200-song cap, or Playlistor's 50. Nothing to install — everything runs in your browser over the official Apple Music and Spotify APIs.
Apple Music to Spotify — FAQ
Do I need an Apple Music subscription?
Yes. Reading songs and playlists from your Apple Music library requires an active Apple Music subscription — a free Apple ID on its own isn't enough. Once your library is transferred you don't need to keep paying for Apple Music if you don't want to, though we recommend keeping the subscription active for at least a month after switching so you have a fallback if anything's missing on Spotify.
Will my Apple Music playlists be changed or deleted?
No. Paradify only reads the playlists you select and never edits or deletes anything on Apple Music. The connection uses official OAuth, so Paradify never sees your Apple or Spotify password, and you can revoke access any time from your account settings.
How accurate is the matching?
Very accurate. Paradify matches by ISRC — the International Standard Recording Code that uniquely identifies each recording. Both Apple Music and Spotify store the ISRC on every track, so a match is an exact-recording match, not a fuzzy text guess. The handful of tracks that don't match are usually unavailable in Spotify's catalog for your country, or are imported files that don't have an ISRC.
Does Spotify have a built-in importer for Apple Music?
No. Spotify doesn't offer a built-in tool to import playlists from Apple Music — there's no setting or menu inside Spotify that does it. A third-party transfer tool is the only way to move your library across, and that's exactly what Paradify does.
Where do the transferred playlists end up?
They're created as playlists in your Spotify library and sync across your devices automatically. Playlists are private to you by default unless you choose to share them.
What happens to songs that can't be matched?
After every transfer you get a report listing exactly which songs were added and which weren't, so you can search for the missing tracks and add them yourself. A song drops out when its recording isn't in Spotify's catalog for your country (regional licensing) or when the source is an imported file on Apple Music.
Can I transfer Loved songs, Made For You, or Mixes?
Library playlists and saved songs yes — Paradify can transfer them like any other playlist. Apple-curated stations like Made For You, Mixes, and Discovery Station no — those are generated by Apple's algorithm and aren't exposed to any transfer tool. If you want a snapshot, copy the tracks into a regular playlist on Apple Music first, then transfer that.
How does Paradify compare to Soundiiz, TuneMyMusic, FreeYourMusic, and SongShift?
All five tools move Apple Music playlists to Spotify, but the trade-offs differ. TuneMyMusic runs in the browser and caps its free tier at 500 songs. Soundiiz adds auto-sync and caps free transfers at 200 songs. Playlistor's free limit is 50. FreeYourMusic supports Windows, macOS, iOS, and Android, but its free tier rate-limits how many songs you can move per month. SongShift only runs on iOS and iPadOS. The bigger difference: those tools match by song title and artist text, which can land on the wrong recording. Paradify matches by ISRC — the exact-recording identifier — runs in your browser with no install, and the per-track report stays open for re-runs.
How long does a transfer take?
A 50-song playlist usually finishes in seconds — ISRC lookups are batched, so dozens of tracks resolve per request. Larger playlists with thousands of tracks take a few minutes; you can queue them and come back later.
Does everything from the playlist carry over?
Song matches, song order and the playlist name come across. Playlist descriptions and custom cover artwork don't — Spotify doesn't accept those on import, so you'd re-add them in the app. Title, artist and album art come from the matched Spotify track.
Will the transfer improve audio quality?
No transfer can do that — it re-creates the playlist, it doesn't re-encode audio. Worth knowing: Apple Music streams lossless ALAC (up to 24-bit/192 kHz) and Spatial Audio with Dolby Atmos, while Spotify currently tops out at 320 kbps. If audio fidelity is your priority you may want to keep your Apple Music subscription alongside Spotify rather than fully switching.
Will my Spotify Wrapped include the transferred songs?
Yes — once the playlists are in your Spotify library, anything you play counts towards Spotify Wrapped like any other listening. Wrapped runs annually and shows your top artists, albums and songs.
