Apple Music's latest feature makes it easier to switch services and juggle multiple music platforms.
Apple Music app customers woke up to a new feature Tuesday, although not many know it exists yet.
Apple Music subscribers can now grab songs or playlists from other music platforms, notably Spotify, and bring them to Apple. The ability to transfer music from other music services is buried in the Music App settings.
Initially tested in Australia and New Zealand last year, this transfer option has now been rolled out to the US, UK, Brazil, Canada, France, Germany and several other countries. It's powered by the SongShift service, which will need access to the library that you're transferring music from.
When SongShift completes the transfer, Apple Music will attempt to whip up a replica playlist or song choice based on its library. It will ask users to double-check certain matches, and not every song may have a replacement version on Apple Music.
