# Transfer playlists between YouTube Music playlists and Apple Music. | ||
|
||
## Youtube Music to Apple Music | ||
|
||
The process for transfering from YouTube Music is described in both [Google Takeout documentation](https://support.google.com/accounts/answer/14792019), | ||
where the transfer begins, and an [Apple Support article](https://support.apple.com/en-us/107776). If your playlists | ||
are already in YouTube Music, Google is the exporter. It sends the playlists to an account you choose and | ||
authorize on Apple. | ||
|
||
When the transfer is done, you will receive an email with your Apple ID associated email. | ||
|
||
|
||
## Apple Music to YouTube Music | ||
|
||
Plalists already on Apple Music can be copied to YouTube Music using some of the same underlying technology and with | ||
some of the same caveats. Starting from Apple Music playlists, as described in the [Apple Support Article]( | ||
https://support.apple.com/en-us/120030), Apple's Data and Privacy page offers data transfer functionality. You'll need to already have a YouTube Music account. | ||
|
||
## What this solution can do | ||
|
||
The playlist transfer technology does song metadata matching to attempt to accurately identify a song on one system with the best | ||
match on another service. Since most commercial songs are already available on both services, it's not actually | ||
transfering the audio files. Audio files are not transferred, therefore any imported or uploaded audio files (including podcasts, | ||
audio books or your own audio uploads) are not transferred. | ||
|
||
## What this solution does not do | ||
|
||
* This approach does not copy *podcasts* or *audio books*. | ||
* Uploaded audio files are not copied. | ||
* Playlists from other users, saved to your library, are not transferred. |
