Life is music. Or maybe, music is life. Whichever it is, there is only one truth: they're inseparable. As music becomes part of our lives, we also become accustomed to different streaming apps and the kinds of services. While most streaming sites offer competitive service plans, some little differences make us choose the other.
If you're thinking of trying out some other streaming sites, one thing that you might be worried about is leaving your music and playlists.
For instance, some streaming sites, Spotify, do not have features that would let you transfer your music.
How To Transfer Music To Another Streaming Site
Although you can still access your favorite songs on your next streaming site, organizing and finding them one by one again may take you some time.
That might be just another stuff that would consume your time. Instead of doing all the work, you can just transfer them all at once using third-party services.
Here are recommendations and guides to help you migrate your music hassle-free. These tools also work with a variety of other popular streaming services.
The most common and proven effective apps/sites you can use to transfer your music are TunemyMusic, Soundiiz, FreeYourMusic, and SongShift.
However, you should be aware of some privacy and security concerns before using any of the several playlist-transfer services available.
For the following guides, Spotify will be used as an example.
