Apple is reportedly testing a new thing that allows users to import their music collection and playlists to Apple Music from other music streaming apps like YouTube and Spotify.
Apple Testing New Feature for Music Transfer
Apple is reportedly experimenting with a new feature that allows users to transfer their music collection from other streaming services such as Spotify to Apple Music.
The feature is currently in testing and is available to a select group of users on the beta version of the Android app.
Utilizing SongShift for Migration
The tech giant appears to be collaborating with SongShift, an iOS-exclusive third-party service that facilitates the migration of music collections and playlists between different streaming platforms. SongShift is currently accessible as a standalone app on iOS.
Prompts in the Apple Music App
According to reports from Reddit, some beta users of the Apple Music Android app have encountered a new prompt labeled ‘Transfer Music from Other Services.’
This prompt offers users the option to add saved music and playlists from other streaming services to their Apple Music library.
Functionality and Development Status
While SongShift is a free app available on the Apple App Store, user feedback suggests that the functionality within the Apple Music Android app is still in its early stages of development and may not be working as intended yet.
As a result, it may take some time before the feature becomes widely available to all users. Additionally, it remains unclear whether the feature will eventually be introduced to Apple Music on iOS devices, as Apple typically aims for feature parity across its platforms.
