Soon you will be able to easily import your Spotify playlists to Apple Music

The Apple brand is currently testing a feature on the Android version ofApple Music allowing you to simply import playlists from streaming services competitors.

If you’ve ever changed music streaming platforms, you know how essential it is to be able to transfer your playlists and library from one device to another. Fortunately, third-party applications offer this functionality through simple and fluid devices. This is particularly the case with SongShift. The service, available for years, makes it easy to move your songs between platforms.

SongShift app integration

Several Apple Music users on Android have noticed that the application directly incorporated the SongShift interface in its latest version, which suggests that the Cupertino company is testing native integration with the software.

Thus, a new tab asks users if they wish “ Add saved music and playlists created in other music services to your Apple Music library “. There is also a new option to do this in Apple Music settings on Android. The feature is powered by SongShift, and allows, for example, importing playlists from Spotify.

For now, the tool only appears for certain users of the service on Android, not on iOS. This means that Apple is only in the testing phase of the feature. “ It appears that this is still very early beta testing and is not fully functional yet. Still, this is clearly something Apple is working on with SongShift », comments the specialized media 9to5Mac.

Apple under pressure from antitrust regulators

The apple brand is not its first attempt. After buying Shazam in 2017, it integrated the music recognition device into the iOS ecosystem.

Testing of such a feature comes as Apple comes under pressure from regulators. The European Commission should in fact impose a record fine of 500 million euros on it for anti-competitive practices in the music streaming sector. It is accused of having favored Apple Music, in particular by preventing its rivals from informing users of the existence of cheaper subscription methods outside the App Store.
