SongShift is an existing tool that solves the issue of playlist migration between the array of different streaming services.
Redditusershave spotted the SongShift integration within the latest beta version of Apple Music on Android. A screenshot shared within9to5Mac‘s report offers the option to “add saved music and playlists you made in other music services to your Apple Music library.”
The feature is “powered by SongShift” and tapping a ‘get started’ button takes users to an Apple.songshift.com browser page. There users are encouraged to select a music streaming service to sync with Apple Music.
In the past Apple has acquired such services before integrating them natively within the Apple Music app. Shazam for example, has enjoyed deep integration across the iOS ecosystem since it was purchased by Apple a few years
There have been no reports on Apple eyeing a move for SongShift so the company may just be working with the company on the native integration. There has been been no reports of the feature showing up in the iPhone Apple Music beta yet either.
