3 Ways to Transfer Songs and Playlist from Spotify to iTunes and Apple Music

It is a piece of cake to import your local files or iTunes playlist to Spotify, however, it is pretty tough when exporting any songs or playlists from Spotify back to iTunes library and Apple Music. Since Apple Music was launched in late 2015, it has won the hearts of many Spotify users, especially those deeply entrenched into Apple-ecosystem. If you’ve been using Spotify for the past few years, you’ve probably got a lot of carefully curated playlists of your own and hope to transfer your favorite Spotify music to iTunes library and Apple Music for enjoyment. To solve the problem, we show you how to import your songs and playlists from Spotify to Apple Music and iTunes library in 3 different ways.

There is no official tool to help switch the playlist between Spotify and Apple Music yet. To get it work, we need the help of third-party software. After much research, we’ve found three fairly reliable third-party services that work well. They are called STAMP, Move to Apple Music and Spotify music converter. The service would help you export the Spotify playlists to Apple Music without manually recreating them one by one.

1. Transfer Spotify songs and playlists to iTunes Library via Spotify Music Converter and iTunes

As we know, the Spotify music is encoded with DRM which means you are unable to play the songs in Spotify on devices that does not install Spotify app. Even you are the Spotify Premium subscriber, you would also fail to listen to the offline downloaded Spotify songs through any media player. To make it possible to enjoy Spotify on iTunes, this method helps exporting the Spotify songs and playlist as DRM-free ones, and then add them to iTunes library.

Spotify Music Converter is a light and powerful Spotify to MP3 converter which aims to convert Spotify music to plain audio files such as MP3, AAC or lossless WAV, FLAC with original quality kept, retaining the ID3 tags. Both Windows and Mac versions are available. We set the Mac version as example.

Launch Spotify Music Converter, drag and drop your favorite song or playlist from Spotify to the application. The program would detect the songs and list them on the main panel for conversion. Then go to the settings to choose the output format and audio quality. You may also leave it as default. The default setting is output to MP3 with 256 kbps audio quality. The conversion speed can be maximum to 5x.

After pressing the Convert button, what you need to do is wait. The program would begin the conversion process automatically. Through the history button on the top right, you can easily know how much songs are converted successfully.

These downloaded Spotify songs are MP3 audios and can be imported to iTunes library easily like any local files. Launch iTunes, move to menu bar File > Add to Library…, locate the destination folder of the converted Spotify songs. That is the end. You would find the songs under iTunes library and start to enjoy now.

Pros:

  • The converted songs can also be added to MP3 player, transferred to USB or burnt to CD.
  • The converted songs are with detailed metadata.
  • Excellent audio quality output.

Cons:

  • The Spotify music converter can only convert 3 minutes of each song in trail.
