It is a piece of cake to import your local files or iTunes playlist to Spotify, however, it is pretty tough when exporting any songs or playlists from Spotify back to iTunes library and Apple Music. Since Apple Music was launched in late 2015, it has won the hearts of many Spotify users, especially those deeply entrenched into Apple-ecosystem. If you’ve been using Spotify for the past few years, you’ve probably got a lot of carefully curated playlists of your own and hope to transfer your favorite Spotify music to iTunes library and Apple Music for enjoyment. To solve the problem, we show you how to import your songs and playlists from Spotify to Apple Music and iTunes library in 3 different ways.

There is no official tool to help switch the playlist between Spotify and Apple Music yet. To get it work, we need the help of third-party software. After much research, we’ve found three fairly reliable third-party services that work well. They are called STAMP, Move to Apple Music and Spotify music converter. The service would help you export the Spotify playlists to Apple Music without manually recreating them one by one.

So I ended up writing an app to do this, based on this thread: to export Sonos playlists, Favorites, Radio stations, and Alarms. It exports as human-readable (so you can manually do whatever you want with it) and machine-readable (for more advanced usage). Go to the iOS App Store and search for “sonos export playlist” and you’ll find it. Check out the playlists in your Music app. If the iTunes duplicate playlists problem still exists, try other solutions. Delete the affected playlists from Music on your device. We can also manually delete all the duplicate iTunes playlist and sync with iPhone again to remove duplicate playlist in both iTunes and iPhone. Premium users get the ability to export playlists as CSV, TXT, JSON, and URLs. Playlists can also be combined into one large playlist or separated into smaller playlists before being transferred.

1. Transfer Spotify songs and playlists to iTunes Library via Spotify Music Converter and iTunes

As we know, the Spotify music is encoded with DRM which means you are unable to play the songs in Spotify on devices that does not install Spotify app. Even you are the Spotify Premium subscriber, you would also fail to listen to the offline downloaded Spotify songs through any media player. To make it possible to enjoy Spotify on iTunes, this method helps exporting the Spotify songs and playlist as DRM-free ones, and then add them to iTunes library.

Step 1: Pick the playlist in iTunes music application that you want to export. Step 2: Click the 'File' iTunes app. Step 3: Select “Library” “Export playlist”. Then choose the location to save the playlist file. Step 4: Select the 'Save as type' menu to get the format options. Step 5: Choose a playlist file name and save it. With a subscription to Apple Music, you can enjoy Apple Music songs on iPhone/iPad/iPod Touch/Android via Apple Music app, you can also access your music across iTunes on PC or Mac, as long as you're signed in to Apple Music with the same Apple ID, but some mobile phone and devices without Apple Music app supported, such as Windows Phone.

Requirement:

Spotify installed
Spotify Music Converter installed
iTunes installed
Windows or Mac computer

Spotify Music Converter is a light and powerful Spotify to MP3 converter which aims to convert Spotify music to plain audio files such as MP3, AAC or lossless WAV, FLAC with original quality kept, retaining the ID3 tags. Both Windows and Mac versions are available. We set the Mac version as example.

Launch Spotify Music Converter, drag and drop your favorite song or playlist from Spotify to the application. The program would detect the songs and list them on the main panel for conversion. Then go to the settings to choose the output format and audio quality. You may also leave it as default. The default setting is output to MP3 with 256 kbps audio quality. The conversion speed can be maximum to 5x.

After pressing the Convert button, what you need to do is wait. The program would begin the conversion process automatically. Through the history button on the top right, you can easily know how much songs are converted successfully.

These downloaded Spotify songs are MP3 audios and can be imported to iTunes library easily like any local files. Launch iTunes, move to menu bar File > Add to Library…, locate the destination folder of the converted Spotify songs. That is the end. You would find the songs under iTunes library and start to enjoy now.

Pros:

  • The converted songs can also be added to MP3 player, transferred to USB or burnt to CD.
  • The converted songs are with detailed metadata.
  • Excellent audio quality output.

Cons:

  • The Spotify music converter can only convert 3 minutes of each song in trail.

3. Import Songs or Playlist from Spotify to Apple Music or iTunes via Move to Apple Music

Move to Apple Music, similar to STAMP, also provides an easy way to transfer music and playlists from Spotify and Rdio to Apple Music and iTunes.

Update: We noticed that Move to Apple Music is no longer provide the service due to the incompatible issue with macOS update since November 2016.

Requirement:

4. After that, the app will start to check your tracks and transfer music from Spotify to iTunes. After the transfer has been completed, click the “Save My Playlist Files” button and choose the location where you’d like the file to be saved on your Mac.

5. Now go back to iTunes and click “File” > “Library” > “Import Playlist” and choose the saved file. The playlists will now be imported into Apple Music and iTunes.

Pros:

  • Easy operation
  • Allow you to move playlist from Spotify or Rdio to Apple Music

Cons:

  • The app must be given special permission to control your computer.

To sum up, the above 3 solutions are currently the best ways to transfer songs and playlist from Spotify to iTunes library and Apple Music. As Move to Apple Music shuts down its serve since Nov 2017. You could try either Spotify Music Converter or STAMP to achieve the goal.

The advantage of using Spotify music converter to move the Spotify music to iTunes is obvious. The app exports the Spotify songs and playlists as MP3 in excellent quality. And what you have to do is import the converted Spotify songs to iTunes library. The whole operation is simple and easy. What’s more, the converted Spotify songs can be played via more devices such as MP3 player, iPod, Walkman…It is best for people who want to transfer the Spotify music to iTunes/Apple Music, as well as enjoy Spotify music in the car, during walking, running…

The STAMP provides other way to import the Spotify playlist to Apple Music and iTunes. You need to export the csv file, then use the app to transfer. The operation is also simple and easy. But pay attention, it does not allow you touching anything on the computer while processing.
