When you need to consistency across all your different music app subscriptions or switch from Spotify to Apple Music, you should know how to transfer Spotify playlist to the iTunes library. Spotify gives users the ability to import local songs, including the iTunes library. But there is no direct way for Spotify users to download songs from Spotify to the iTunes library. Why you can not download Spotify playlists and transfer them to the iTunes library? The Premium service allows you to download Spotify playlists, but Spotify adds protection to all songs. Spotify also encodes songs in OGG Vorbis format, which is not compatible with the iTunes library. Free users do not have the permission to download Spotify playlists, not to mention transferring Spotify playlists to the iTunes library.
Soundiiz allows you to transfer playlists, albums, artists or tracks between 45 streaming services, including Spotify, Apple Music, TIDAL, DEEZER, YouTube Music, etc.
Actually, Soundiiz does not "sync" anything; rather, it searches the song title on the destination service. However, even if a track is available in Spotify catalog, that doesn't means this same track is available in Apple Music. So when you use this match tool, some songs could not be matched.
Soundiiz has a web app and Android app. Here we will use the web app as example.
