Spotify just made it easier to import your music library from other streaming services. And you can do this directly from its mobile app.
The company has partnered with popular third-party service TuneMyMusic to integrate this functionality into its app.
Switching to Spotify will no longer feel like a chore
It has always been a pain to move your music library and playlist between different streaming services. By adding TuneMyMusic integration directly into its app, Spotify wants to make transferring your music library less painful.
Rather than pushing users toward external services to transfer their libraries, Spotify wants to handle that job itself. By doing so, the company hopes to remove one of the biggest frictions of switching between music streaming services.
You can find the “Import your music” option in Spotify’s Your Library tab.
Since Spotify didn’t build the tool itself, the migration process redirects you to TuneMyMusic. The service has been around for years and is one of the most trusted ways to move playlists between platforms.
If you directly use TuneMyMusic, you are limited to moving 500 tracks between music services. But there’s no such restriction if you use the tool through Spotify.
TuneMyMusic can move playlists across all major streaming services, but when accessed through Spotify, it’s restricted to one job: importing your music into Spotify.
Apple Music already offers a similar import tool
Spotify’s new import feature comes a few months after Apple Music rolled out a similar migration tool to make switching from other streaming services easier.
Developed in collaboration with SongShift, the Cupertino company also offers similar import options in its app. It can transfer your playlists, liked songs, and albums.
The TuneMyMusic-powered import tool is Spotify will roll out globally in the coming days.
