Apple Music and YouTube Music Now Allow Playlist Transfers: Easily Move Your Music Collection

Apple released support documentation on August 28th announcing that Apple Music users can now transfer copies of their playlists to other services, such as YouTube Music, using the "Data and Privacy" feature. This new feature allows users to conveniently move their music collections to different platforms. It also supports transferring playlists created in YouTube Music to Apple Music.

Transfer Feature Details

This feature provides users with more flexible music management options, but users should be aware of the following points:

• Transfer Conditions: First, users must have an active Apple Music subscription and a YouTube Music account.

• Transfer Content: The feature only supports user-created playlists, including collaborative playlists. Music files, non-collaborative shared playlists, curated playlists, and other audio files (such as podcasts, audiobooks, or user-uploaded audio files) will not be transferred.

• Playlist Restrictions: Playlists can only contain songs available on Apple Music. If a playlist includes other audio files or exceeds Apple Music's playlist song limit, those items will not be transferred.

• Transfer Time: The transfer process usually takes a few minutes but can take up to several hours, depending on the number of playlists being transferred.

• Transfer Status: Apple will send an email notification to the user's associated email address informing them of the start and completion status of the transfer. Users can also view the transfer status or cancel the transfer on Apple's "Data and Privacy" page.
