SongShift Review: Comprehensive Music Migration Between Streaming Platforms

SongShift enables seamless music library transfers between streaming services. The iOS app automatically matches and migrates playlists, albums, and songs across platforms like Spotify and Apple Music, eliminating manual recreation.

Detailed Review

SongShift addresses a growing need in the music streaming ecosystem by providing cross-platform migration tools for users switching between services. The app serves as an intermediary that connects various music streaming accounts, analyzes existing libraries, and facilitates bulk transfers while maintaining playlist structures and metadata. This functionality has become increasingly valuable as consumers frequently switch between services seeking better pricing, features, or audio quality. The core functionality revolves around a three-step process: service connection, content selection, and match confirmation. Users first authenticate their source and destination music services through secure OAuth integrations. The app then scans and displays available content for transfer, including playlists, albums, and individual tracks. SongShift's matching algorithm compares metadata across platforms, presenting users with proposed matches that can be manually verified or corrected before final transfer. The system handles bulk operations efficiently, with support for libraries containing thousands of tracks. User experience centers around a clean, intuitive interface that guides users through the migration process. The design emphasizes visual feedback during transfers, clear progress indicators, and straightforward error resolution when matches cannot be automatically determined. Real-world usage patterns show most transfers complete within minutes, though larger libraries may require extended processing. The app includes smart retry mechanisms for failed matches and provides detailed transfer reports showing successful and unsuccessful items. User feedback consistently highlights reliability and time-saving benefits. Reviewer Flaminghat1 (September 1, 2025) noted the interface allows manual correction when automatic matching fails, while loud_milk (August 31, 2025) confirmed effective Spotify-to-Apple-Music transfers despite acknowledging platform content differences. Multiple reviews mention successful migrations of large libraries, with Charles wv (August 29, 2025) specifically praising the handling of 3,000-song transfers. The 4.73/5 rating reflects widespread satisfaction with core functionality. The app demonstrates particular strength in handling bulk operations and providing user control over matching decisions. Limitations include dependency on platform API stability and inevitable gaps when songs aren't available across services. The subscription model provides full functionality, though basic transfers remain available in free tier. Ideal use cases include service migration, library backup, and maintaining synchronized collections across multiple platforms.

I have switched music apps several times to explore the different options. It works with apps I didn’t even know existed, and it is so smooth and fast. It automatically matches songs from your albums, playlists, library, and so much more and is very accurate (when transferring several hundred songs it only got 3 wrong), and it’s super easy to correct it. Switched from Apple Music to Spotify and transferred 800+ songs in 20 minutes. Saved my albums, playlists, liked songs, and so on. 10/10 would rate this app to anyone looking to switch. Also comes with features that let you sync 2 music platforms in case you use multiple (like Amazon music for Alexa and Apple Music for iPhone), if you add a song to one, it auto adds the other.

Awesome interface. Spotify to Apple Music so far working smoothly. “What if I cannot find a match?” It asks you what you would like to replace it with by allowing you to search using your own keywords. “What if it finds a replacement that does not perfectly match?” It allows you to review each playlist and each song before you confirm the swap. This is awesome. I was dreading the swap to Apple Music and this app is the best thing for it. I’ve spent 5 minutes on it so far and saved days of writing playlists.

Even without subscribing, this app makes transferring playlists from Spotify to Apple Music and vice versa. I switched to Apple Music and was easily able to move most of my playlists over. Some songs aren't on both platforms, so it won't always have a 100% match rate, but it works exactly as advertised and I appreciate it as an app a lot. I still find playlists I want to move to Apple Music that I don't have yet, and it's a 30s-1m process. Great job and hats off to the devs for not charging for the app itself. 🙏 Simple, clean UI, and easy transfers Even without subscribing, this app makes transferring playlists from Spotify to Apple Music and vice versa.

You may lose a small amount of songs, but for example I have 3456 songs on my tap playlist and I only lost about 50 of them (most I didn't really care about). Also you have a chance of retrieving them, if they have something similar/the same song just more features. I used it to transfer Spotify to Apple and it was flawless It is what it is You may lose a small amount of songs, but for example I have 3456 songs on my tap playlist and I only lost about 50 of them (most I didn't really care about).
