  • The tool that can move playlists from Apple Music to YouTube Music can also be used to do the opposite.
  • To transfer playlists, you’ll need an active YouTube Music account and an Apple Music subscription.
  • You won’t be able to transfer shared playlists that you didn’t create.

Earlier this week, Apple published a support document that revealed that Apple Music and iTunes Match subscribers could transfer their playlists over to YouTube Music with a new tool. At the time, it seemed like the tool was a one-way street, but now it looks like that’s not the case.

First spotted by 9to5Google, Google has published its own support page detailing how YouTube Music users can transfer playlists over to Apple Music. The process uses the same “Data Transfer Project” tool as Apple is using to do the reverse.
