EnglishWhat Is SongShift and What Can You Do With It?
Updated
SongShift is an app for moving music between streaming services. You can transfer playlists, songs, or albums from one platform to another, share playlists with people who use a different service, and keep a destination playlist in sync as you add tracks at the source. It supports a long list of services, including Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube, TIDAL, Amazon Music, Deezer, SoundCloud, Pandora, Qobuz, and LastFM. The site describes the app as free, with additional features available through SongShift Pro.
What SongShift actually does
The core job is matching your music on a destination service. You tell SongShift which playlists, songs, or albums you want moved and where they should go. SongShift then looks up each track on the destination service and builds a match list. Because catalogs differ between platforms, some tracks won't match cleanly — SongShift shows you those mismatches so you can correct them before finishing. Once you confirm, the transfer completes and the songs appear in your destination library.
Three capabilities follow from that:
- Transfer — copy a playlist, album, or set of songs from one service to another.
- Share — send a playlist to someone regardless of which streaming platform they use.
- Sync — keep additions from your source playlist flowing into the destination playlist, so the two stay aligned over time.
Supported transfers and services
SongShift lists widespread support across the services above. The site highlights popular routes such as Spotify → Apple Music, Apple Music → Spotify, Spotify → YouTube, YouTube → Spotify, Apple Music → YouTube, Spotify → TIDAL, Spotify → Amazon Music, and Apple Music → TIDAL, with a full directory of supported transfers available on the site.
| What you want to do | Does SongShift cover it? |
|---|---|
| Move a playlist from Spotify to Apple Music (or the reverse) | Yes |
| Move music to or from YouTube, TIDAL, Amazon Music, Deezer, SoundCloud, Pandora, Qobuz | Yes, per the supported services list |
| Share a playlist with a friend on another platform | Yes |
| Keep a destination playlist updated as you add songs | Yes, via sync |
| Fix tracks that matched incorrectly | Yes, during the review step |
How a transfer works, step by step
- Configure your Shift. Choose the playlists, songs, or albums you want transferred and select the destination streaming service.
- Review matches. After SongShift matches your songs on the destination service, go through the list and fix any mismatches. This is the step that determines how complete your transferred library will be.
- Finish. SongShift completes the transfer, and the songs appear in your destination music library shortly after.
The practical takeaway: expect to spend most of your time in step 2. Catalog gaps between services are normal, and reviewing matches is how you catch them.
Free vs. SongShift Pro
The site presents SongShift as free and offers a Pro tier that unlocks all features. Pro pricing is listed as starting at $6.99/month. The site does not detail which specific features sit behind Pro, so check the Pro page before assuming a particular capability — such as sync or unlimited transfers — is included in the free tier.
When SongShift is the right tool
SongShift fits if you are switching streaming services and want to bring your playlists along, if you share music with friends on other platforms, or if you maintain the same playlist in two places and want additions to carry over automatically. If you only listen on one service and never share playlists, the transfer and sync features won't do much for you. If your library includes many rare or region-specific tracks, plan on the match-review step taking real time.
