If you’ve decided to make Spotify your new streaming service, you’re likely feeling both excited and overwhelmed. After years of curating an extensive library on another platform, switching can be a daunting task. Unfortunately, Spotify currently lacks a dedicated tool for importing your music and playlists directly from other services.
Though there are hints that Spotify might be developing such a tool, no official announcements have been made. To transfer your playlists to Spotify, you basically have two routes to choose from. You can either pay for a third-party service to handle the transition or embark on the tedious task of manually recreating each playlist in your new Spotify account.
Both methods come with their own challenges, which is why many users are eagerly advocating for a built-in import feature. Recent findings from an APK deep dive suggest that Spotify is working on a music import tool—though caution is advised, as this feature hasn’t been officially confirmed. The code unearthed by Android Authority indicates that the import option may be found within the app’s “Your Library” section.
Interestingly, if users attempt to import while offline, a message will prompt them to go online to complete the process. While it remains unclear exactly which services Spotify will allow imports from, speculation leans toward popular platforms like Apple Music, Amazon Music, and YouTube Music. There’s also a possibility that Hi-Fi streaming services such as Tidal and QOBUZ may be included.
As for crucial details like the launch date, the duration of the import process, and whether a premium subscription will be required, all of this information is still unknown. Until then, users will have to wait patiently for more updates from Spotify.
