Switching to YouTube Music gets easier with new Apple Music playlist export tool

Transfer playlists from Apple Music to YouTube Music

Three years after Apple built an iCloud photo library transfer tool for Google Photos, the company has introduced a version for exporting Apple Music playlists to YouTube Music.

The transfer will take some time to complete, but once done, an email will notify the user. The synced playlists will appear in the Library tab in YouTube Music.

There are some limitations to the tool, like songs not available on YouTube Music won’t sync. This isn’t a file sync service, so files won’t be transferred. Instead, it is more like other song sync services that match song titles.

Apple Music curated playlists like ALT CTRL won’t sync, nor will collaborative playlists owned by other users. Podcasts and other audio files left over from legacy iTunes libraries that aren’t music won’t transfer either.
