Transfer music from other services to Apple Music on the web
If you subscribe to Apple Music, you can add music you’ve saved and playlists you’ve created in third-party music services to your Apple Music library.
Note: Transferring music to Apple Music is provided by a third party. Apple Music and transferring music from third-party music services aren’t available in all countries or regions. See the Apple Support article Availability of Apple Media Services.
Before you begin
Make sure of the following:
You’re signed in to your Apple Account.
Sync Library is turned on in Settings. To verify, click the link in the bottom-left corner of the window to open the Music app on your computer or device, then see the Apple Support article Use Sync Library with your Apple Music subscription.
Transfer music from third-party music services
Go to music.apple.com
.
Click the My Account button (it looks like a photo or monogram) in the top-right corner, then choose Transfer Music.
If you don’t see this option, you need to sign in to your Apple Account.
Select a music service, then sign in to the service.
Select what you want to transfer (all or selected items), then click Add to Library.
Note: Depending on the third-party music service, you may be able to transfer all music or only certain items (for example, only playlists you created).
When the transfer finishes, one of the following messages appears in the bottom-left corner of the window:
Transfer Complete: The transfer finished successfully and you see a summary of the music that’s been added to your library. Click OK.
Some Music Needs Review: The transfer finished, but some music wasn’t transferred. You can review and choose alternative versions, if available (for example, a live version of a song from the third-party music service wasn’t found in the Apple Music catalog, but a deluxe version was). See Review the transfer.
Review the transfer
During the transfer, music from the third-party music service is matched with the same music offered in the Apple Music catalog. (Nothing is removed from the other music service.)
Sometimes there are no matches in the Apple Music catalog for a song, music video, or album from the third-party music service. When reviewing matches, you can choose from the alternates provided or ignore suggestions.
Go to music.apple.com
Do one of the following:
On the Home page, in the bottom-left corner of the window, click Review Now in the Review Your Transfer message.
Click the My Account button (it looks like a photo or monogram) in the top-right corner, then choose Review Current Transfer.
In the Review Alternates window, do any of the following for each of the items that need review:
Choose an alternate version: Select one of the items shown as a potential match with the original song from the third-party music service. To preview the song, click
on the album cover.
Don’t transfer the item: Select Ignore [Item] if you don’t want to transfer any of the alternate versions into your Apple Music library. You can also click Ignore All to finalize the transfer and start a new transfer.
Music that doesn’t have alternate suggestions is listed in the Not Available section at the bottom of the Review Alternates window.
Repeat step 3 until you’ve reviewed all the alternates for each item, then click Add to Library.
Note: If you can’t finish reviewing your alternate matches in one session, click Add to Library at any time to accept the matches you selected so far. You can come back to the initial transfer and complete it within 30 days, but you need to finish reviewing all alternates in that transfer before you can start a new transfer. If you see Review Current Transfer under the My Account button, it means that you have music that needs to be reviewed from an earlier transfer.
