If you have decided to give Amazon Music a try, you are interested in knowing that taking your playlists from your current service to the new one is very easy. So much so that if that was the reason that was holding you back, from now on you will stop having any more excuses not to do it now.
Not without my playlists
It must be recognized that playlists have become essential for many users and also for all current music streaming services. Both those that are generated manually and the automatic selections or that you find out there are interesting to enjoy the music you like the most or discover the odd new song.
Well, one of the reasons why certainly some users have not just made the leap from one streaming music service to another is because of the lists. And not because it is not possible to use them in the new one, but because they do not know how they could import them to the new platform so that the change is as less abrupt as possible because having to re-make them manually is a tedious process.
The truth is that this stopped being a real problem a long time ago, although currently there are those who do not know what alternatives they have to export old playlists and then import them again this time on the new platform.
If by any chance you are one of them, don’t worry because there is a solution and it is very easy to use. Basically you will have to run an application capable of reading the data from one service and taking it to another. In our case we will do it with two applications called SongShift and TuneMyMusic that allow, among many other things, to import playlists from different music services to Amazon, regardless of whether you have the free payment plan or not.
How to import playlists from a music service to Amazon Music
As we have already told you, importing all your playlists or those that you decide to a new music platform via streaming is as simple as opening a small application or utility, then selecting the origin and destination service so that in a matter of minutes you already have all your music on the new platform.
Despite this, let’s see step by step how to import playlist into Amazon Music . In order to enjoy all that music you like on the company’s smart speakers like this:
- The obvious first step is to download SongShift or TuneMyMusic . The difference between the two is that the first is an app for iOS devices and the second is a web. The truth is that we recommend TuneMyMusic, even if you have an iPhone
- Once you have it, start the process by selecting the source service of the playlists or playlists that you want to take from one to another
- Now you just have to follow the respective instructions to be able to select the lists you want to export and then import into the new service
- Once the process is finished, you will find the lists within the Amazon Music platform in the Playlists section
Ready, now you can continue enjoying your favorite music and all those compilations that during all this time you have been making yourself or adding after seeing them shared by other users or through the recommendation system of each platform.
Amazon Music? Why not Spotify or others?
On Amazon Echo or other Alexa-compatible devices, the only option to listen to music is not solely and exclusively Amazon Music . Unlike Apple and its HomePods, other services can be used and configured on the company’s smart speaker.
For example, you can use Spotify and all you have to do is the following:
- Open the Alexa app
- Then enter the configuration section and then go to the Music section
- When you touch on the screen to access it, you will see that different services appear that could vary depending on the area where you are living, although in general they will be the most important (Spotify, Apple Music, TuneIn and deezer)
- You just have to select the one you want to use by default every time you ask Alexa for music and log in to enjoy the benefits that, for example, the paid version of Spotify offers
However, you may be more interested in the Amazon option for reasons as varied as some promotions they carry out to access the Unlimited catalog for three months for 1 euros or similar.
In addition, one of the advantages of Amazon Music Unlimited is that it has an option to listen to HD music without quality loss , ideal for audio connoisseurs. So being able to take your lists here is much more important, because enjoying your favorite music at the highest quality is always interesting.
And if you want, you can maintain several services, only when you ask for music without specifying in which service you want to play it, it will pull the one you have by default or Amazon Music in the case of not having it.
Cross-platform playlists
Everything we have told you above to take the playlists of Spotify, Apple Music or other services to Amazon Music is also valid on the contrary. That is, to take the ones you have on the Amazon platform to other services or between different services that have nothing to do with Amazon.
In addition, this is also interesting if a friend, family member or acquaintance has a playlist that you like. Instead of asking for the complete song list, you can ask for the playlist and convert it to take it to your used service. And on the contrary, you provide them with a list compatible with their platform in a matter of minutes.
So nothing, to enjoy music in the service and device of your choice. Although if you have Prime, you are interested, as well as if you are tired of paying for other services that no longer convince you in the same way.
