What Our Users Say

Real feedback from music lovers who made the switch with PlaylistGo

★★★★★

"I switched to YouTube Music because it's bundled with my YouTube Premium. PlaylistGo moved all my Apple Music playlists over without a hitch. Every song matched, every playlist in the right order."

★★★★★

"I was skeptical because Apple Music and YouTube Music have pretty different catalogs. But PlaylistGo's match rate genuinely surprised me — out of 4,000 tracks, only a handful didn't transfer."

★★★★★

"The bulk transfer saved me so much time! PlaylistGo allowed me to select all my Apple Music playlists at once and moved everything to YouTube Music in a single click. No transferring one playlist at a time."

Frequently Asked Questions

No, a free YouTube Music account is enough to receive your transferred playlists. PlaylistGo creates the playlists directly in your YouTube Music library regardless of your plan. The difference is in playback: YouTube Music Free includes ads and doesn't support background listening on mobile, while Premium gives you ad-free, background, and offline playback. If you're already a YouTube Premium subscriber, YouTube Music Premium is included at no extra cost.

Absolutely. PlaylistGo lets you export and back up your entire Apple Music library in up to 10 local file formats before or after your switch — including M3U, M3U8, PLS, XSPF, XML, CSV, XLS, XLSX, JSON, and TXT. M3U works with most media players, CSV opens straight in Excel, and JSON is handy for developers — whichever you pick, your Apple Music playlists live on your device, not on any subscription.

When you connect your Apple Music account, PlaylistGo reads your playlists and saved songs — including iTunes purchases, as long as iCloud Music Library sync is enabled. If those tracks are available on YouTube Music, they'll be matched and added automatically. Tracks that don't exist in YouTube Music's catalog can't be transferred. These will be clearly flagged in the results so you know exactly what was and wasn't moved.

PlaylistGo's intelligent matching engine cross-references multiple data points — including track title, artist, album, and ISRC code — to achieve a 99% song matching success rate on Apple Music to YouTube Music transfers. In the rare case a track can't be matched automatically, it will be clearly flagged in the transfer results so you can manually review and resolve it.

If you experience any issues while transferring your Apple Music playlists to YouTube Music, our support team is ready to help. You can reach us directly at [email protected]. We're committed to responding promptly and resolving your issue as quickly as possible so you can get back to enjoying your music.
