Description:
Apple has simplified the process of switching to YouTube Music by
facilitating fast transfers of your Apple Music playlists.

FULL STORY ======================================================================

If youre an Apple Music subscriber but have been eyeing up switching to YouTube Music , Apple has some good news: you can now transfer your playlists to YouTubes music service with just a few taps.

According to a new support document on Apples website, you're now able to
copy your Apple Music playlists to YouTube Music using Apples Data and
Privacy web page . All you need to do is log in, then select 'Request to transfer a copy of your data' underneath the 'Transfer a copy of your data' header and follow the on-screen prompts. Apple says this process could take anywhere from a few minutes to a few hours, depending on how many playlists you want to include.

Once the process is complete, youll see all of your playlists in YouTube Musics Library tab. If any songs are missing from your playlists, it could be that theyre not available in YouTube Music. Your playlists wont be removed from Apple Music after the transfer, and if you cancel the process before it finishes, any playlists that have already been copied to YouTube Music will also remain there.

Note that for this transfer process to be available, youll need to have an active subscription to either Apple Music or iTunes Match, as well as a YouTube Music account. Easing the transition (Image credit: TechRadar)

Although Apples support document is titled 'Transfer a copy of your Apple Music playlists to another service,' YouTube Music is the only supported service for now. Yet while the vague wording of the header might imply that other top-rated streaming services could be supported in the future, theres
no word yet on whether Apple is planning to allow a similar process for apps like Spotify and Tidal.

Its been a fairly positive year for YouTube Music so far. YouTube owner
Google is working on integrating its Gemini artificial intelligence (AI) into YouTube Music, giving users a fresh method for discovering music and queueing up tunes. And theres a new 'hum to search' feature that could provide a much simpler way to identify a song when all you can remember is how it sounds.

Whether these new features will be enough to spark a mass exodus from Apple Music to YouTubes alternative remains to be seen. But if you are tempted to make the change, Apple Musics new switching feature should make the
transition significantly easier. You might also like Apple Music review YouTube Music review: no doubt it's gaining on Spotify, so is it time to switch? The best music streaming services 2024: Spotify, Apple Music, Tidal, Qobuz, more
