How to import Spotify playlists into Apple Music – Guide
Apple Music and Spotify are the two most popular music streaming services, boasting tens of millions of paying customers. While many users may have stuck with their preferred service for years, both have recently undergone major changes that could make it worth considering a switch.
Apple Music is set to offer high-quality music streaming in July 2021, with a lossless layer allowing customers to listen to CD quality and lossless high resolution audio recordings at no extra cost. Spotify has yet to launch its own lossless streaming service, Spotify Hifi, but the cost of this service is still unknown.

Switching from Spotify to Apple Music
Spotify has announced the addition of offline listening to its platform, allowing users to transfer their playlists from Apple Music back to Spotify. The feature is available on iOS and will soon be available on Wear OS for Android smartwatches, making it easier for those who switched to Apple Music but now want to return.
Switching your playlists from Spotify to Apple Music is easy: just follow the same steps as you would if you were transferring them in the opposite direction. It’s that simple.
