Apple has just officially deployed a music library conversion tool on Apple Music, allowing users to enter playlists and music collections from other streaming platforms such as Spotify in just a few minutes.
After a trial in Australia and New Zealand, the feature has now been expanded globally, except for a few countries.
According to Apple, to use this tool, users need to register for Apple Music in progress, iPhone, iPad or Android devices with the latest version of the application, and turn on the Library Synchronization feature on all devices.
In addition, you need to have a third-party music service login account to complete the conversion process.
The process is designed to be simple. On iPhone or iPad, users go to: Settings > App > Music to select the music transfer feature.
For Android, just open the Apple Music app, click the three- stop icon, select Settings, and access the Music Transfer from other services option. Then, log in to the service to enter the library and select the playback list to be moved.
Apple Music will automatically match the songs in its portfolio. If there is an accurate connection, the library will be imported immediately.
If no music is found, the app will suggest a replacement and display the notification "Some songs need to be considered". Users can click "See back now" to select the replacement version and add it to the library.
In particular, Apple gives users up to 30 days from the first move to review out-of-fit songs and replace them.
However, it should be noted that only playlists created by users can be converted, while playlists created by platforms like Spotify will not be supported.
The launch of this tool shows Apple's efforts to attract users from other music streaming platforms, while increasing convenience for users when switching to Apple Music.
This is also a strategic step to help Apple Music compete more strongly with Spotify in the race for a global music streaming service market share.
