New Delhi: Apple Music is adding one of those game-changing features that finally allows transferring playlists directly into YouTube Music. That just made life easy for those who wanted to switch between music streaming services. This new feature will surely give a new shape to the music-listening habit of millions by providing more flexibility on how and where they want to listen to their favorite jams. The tool to transfer playlists came in very handy because of the recent expansion of services offering music streaming with respective features, and it is expected to ease the lives of all music lovers.
Forcing consumers into one single streaming platform is how forces of stagnation have dealt with the music-loving consumer for many years. Each has its pluses: Apple Music is known for great sound and ‘editorially-curated playlists’, while YouTube Music is loaded with an enormous library that includes live performances, music videos, and fan-made content.
However, transferring playlists customized on these platforms has been very annoying, as most options involved third-party apps and required manual workarounds. And to add to that, Apple’s new tool ensures smoothness with official playlist migration, soothing the user experience even more. In a Nutshell:
This new feature requires that the user have an active subscription with either Apple Music or iTunes Match, in addition to having a YouTube Music account. This tool supports a huge range of playlist transfers, starting from personal playlists to collaborative ones, hence really facilitating the life of those who would want to bring their curated music collections into a whole new environment.
Limitations of the Transfer in Organisational Folders and Audio Files:
For example, several of Apple Music’s organizational features are in place to keep the playlists organized; transferring these organizational folders is not going to take place. Secondly, non-music items will not be transferred, including, for instance, podcasts, audiobooks, and user-uploaded audio.
Playlist curation not included: Expertly curated playlists from Apple are generally one of the major features that make Apple Music appealing but are a no-go in transferring. That is, in fact, an indication that the curation of those playlists is tied to personal taste since they are only absolutely channeled through Apple’s proprietary algorithms and editorial insight.
Apple added that song availability: ‘Only the songs available on YouTube Music will be transferred, which may exclude some of the tracks if those were exclusive to Apple Music’.
In this respect, Apple truly does update on the progress in real-time. They also let users know the progress of the transfer via email sent to the address registered with their Apple ID. This touch of reassurance in communication lets the user know it is one of those processes where they need to be in contact. It would also provide options to track or cancel the transfer at any time through the Data and Privacy page, hence offering more user control and visibility over this process.

Finally, the confirmation will arrive by email, and in the YouTube Music Library tab, they can see playlists that have just been transferred. No transfer of your playlistransferredn completed, changes you make in Apple Music to the playlist will not reflect in YouTube Music. Also, in case users cancel the transfer of a playlist mid-process, it remains as it was in Youwhenat the time the transfer was in process.
While this latest tool would let music enthusiasts jump seamlessly from one platform to another, reworking their favorite tracks and playlists into dynamic new forms, in the world where a fight for supremacy is on in streaming, such features would bridge the path toward a connected musical future wherein the walls between the platforms disappeared and all attention was left to the music.
