Do you want to sync your iTunes library with Spotify? Spotify used to allow users to easily import iTunes playlists into the app (File >> Import Playlists >> iTunes), but this feature was discontinued in 2018. Instead of the "Import iTunes" option, Spotify has introduced a new tool called "Local Files" that allows users to sync their iTunes songs, downloaded audios, and music library to Spotify. Please read "Method 1" in this section if you want to learn how to use this feature.
If you are concerned that you may lose the ability to listen to Apple Music or Spotify Music once your membership ends, you should read "Method 2" for assistance. Because we've already figured it out! We are unable to reinstate your eligibility since Apple and Spotify own their regulations. What we're talking about here is to download the real music files from iTunes, as well as download your purchased Apple Music. When you have these downloaded iTunes music files, you may import them into the Spotify App for continuous playing & listening.
You can start from a step-by-step video tip. 🎥Watch it now!
You'll need both the iTunes and Spotify applications installed on your computer to apply this method. Please ensure that you have logged in to both your Apple account and your Spotify account in advance. Now, follow the instructions below to sync your iTunes library directly to Spotify.
