It is difficult to switch audio streaming services.
Changing from one music app to another almost always means losing part of your library, whether you are saving on subscription fees or taking a stand against platform policies.
You can rebuild your collection on your new app. Not every track is available on every service. You will rarely be able to get a 100 percent recreation. You can waste hours trying to make the impossible possible if you have a lot of content.
You can save yourself the time, heartache, and sore thumbs by using the third-party apps that save your favorite music and podcasts.
What are playlist transfer tools?
It is possible to make your transition between streaming services easier by using a third party. Free services that facilitate the transfer of audio collections between streaming services are called Playlist transfer tools. Here is how they work.
Signing into both the service you want to transfer your library from and the service you want to transfer your library to is what most of the options start you out with. The app can make its own suggestions.
These apps are usually free services that facilitate the transfer of audio collections between streaming services.
Most of your library will be brought over that way because most of the users liked or loved the collections. As opposed to the ones you have authored, you can also transfer the ones you follow. It is worth noting that these transfers merely copy the playlist at the moment the copying happens, so if you are transferring a playlist that is updated with any regularity, you will need to manually add new tracks.
If they are put in a form that makes it easier to copy, they can sometimes be brought over. It may be easier to find the show on the new app if you follow a lot of podcasts. Transfer tools work better with music.
Once you have connected to and from the new service, the playlist transfer tool will check all of the tracks against what's available on the new service and recreate as much of each transfer as possible. Depending on the transfer service you use, the process can take minutes or a few hours.
How do you choose the right app to transfer your library?
There are a lot of audio streaming services. They mostly vary in terms of accuracy and speed, according to reviews. Some are better for certain things.
If you want to find the right fit for your collection, it is best to research options available to you via your phone's app store. Some of the most popular options are SongShift, FreeYourMusic, Soundiiz, and Tune My Music. They mostly do the same thing, and there are plenty to choose from.
A subscription fee is not required for most playlist transfer tools. If you switch services a lot, you can make it a one-time thing, but more likely than not.
