How To Transform Your Playlists From YouTube Music To Apple Music
The process of transferring your playlists is simple. But before you begin, there are a few things you should consider. Firstly, make sure that your Apple Music subscription is still active. The transfer would not be possible without it. Here are the simple steps that can help you move your playlists:
Step 1: Start by heading over to your Google Account Dashboard.
Step 2: Scroll down to the YouTube section, either under ‘Recently used Google services’ or ‘Other Google services.’ After that, select ‘Transfer Data’ to start the process.
Step 3: You will be prompted to select the specific playlists you want to move. Remember, only playlists you have created personally can be transferred. Saved playlists from other users cannot be copied.
Step 4: Choose Apple Music from the drop-down menu as your destination platform. Click on Continue.
Step 5: To complete the transfer, you must log into your Apple Music account and provide Google Takeout permission. You will receive an email with a link to access your playlists on Apple Music after the process is complete.
Important Details To Remember
Keeping in mind these two crucial points is essential. To start with, this is a one-time transfer. Following the transfer, any changes that you make to your playlists on YouTube Music or Apple Music won’t sync between the services. Additionally, Google suggests using third-party services like Soundiiz or TuneMyMusic if you wish to move your playlists to other music services that do not offer this feature natively.
