Example 1: Import a Spotify Playlist to Apple Music using “Playlisty for Apple Music”
Once Playlisty is installed, it’s basically 4 taps / clicks of your mouse to import a playlist. You can tap here to view a YouTube video of the process on an iPhone, or you can see the individual steps here:
- Install “Playlisty for Apple Music” on your device and be sure to link your Spotify account during the setup process.
- Tap where it says “Spotify Library” (on a Mac or iPad it’s on the side bar; on an iPhone it’s on the “Sources” tab). You should now see all your Spotify playlists. If you don’t, you probably signed-in to the wrong Spotify account (we’ve done it a million times and it’s easy to fix: just sign-out of Spotify on the Settings tab and sign-in again using the right details).
- Tap on the playlist you want to import. Playlisty will go through a matching process where it finds the Apple Music version of each of your tracks. To learn more about Playlisty matching, look here. To import several playlists in one go tap the “Select” button on an iPhone or the “Select multiple playlists” menu option on an iPad or Mac.
- Check the matches look good. Hint: if you tap on the red traffic light it will filter your view to show only the tracks which Playlisty couldn’t match (hopefully none!). You can fix mismatches at this point by tapping on a track and then selecting an alternative.
- Tap the “Save to your library” button, make sure you’re on the “Save to a new playlist” tab and then tap “Start”.
- Wait a few seconds for Playlisty to finish uploading your playlist to the Apple Music cloud.
- Check your playlist arrived in Apple Music, here: https://music.apple.com. It should appear in your Music app shortly after, but if it doesn’t take a look at this page.
