Spotify to Amazon Music?

[Andehh]

After 10 years with Spotify Amazon is too much of a lure for me, is there any way to import playlists from one to the other?

Thanks,

Which Amazon offering are you considering? The basic Prime version is about as good as the bargain bin at Woolworth's was.

Happily pay for the full service, just for the continued integration with Echo etc

I'm assuming he's referring to the Unlimited service. Unfortunately you can't import playlists into the Amazon Music app, which I was pretty bummed about when I wanted to import my iTunes playlists. I quickly got over it, never bothered in the end as they have plenty of decent playlists to download and also stations to stream

Seems like a massive over sight, not to allow some form of import? I just can't afford to loose several years worth of setup with Spotify, just for the sake of continued Integration with 'Prime'.

Apparently this app with do the trick of transferring songs and playlists over. Looked it up in the Google Play Store and reviews don't make it sound promising, but it's all I could find that has the potential to solve this problem.

Thanks mate, tried it & it successfully transferred 0 songs (10 as part of the trial). An email to the developer bounced back saying email address doesn't exist.

I'm not having any problems getting Spotify to work with Echo.

Spotify works with the Echo, I've ditched Apple Music for Spotify (via Amazon Music Unlimited - I found it didn't have some artists)

Not sure why both my post & the post from the developer of ''Stamp'' were both deleted?

Would have thought having confirmation that the app does work, but only with Amazon's Unlimited music would have been very useful to other posters?

Not sure but it could be construed as advertising, still a bit heavy handed IMO. I tried that app myself when trying to move from Google Music to Spotify and it didn't work. I only wanted to move as my OH got me an Echo for Christmas and Google Music isn't supported. Was a right pain in the arse to move it all.

Hmmm, 2 brand new posters recommend a previously unmentioned app... Doesn't sound fishy at all.

I've used Stamp in the past with other streaming services. Works well with Apple and Spotify but I've never used it with Amazon (I'm not even sure it does work with Amazon but it will say yes or no on their website).

I found it very easy and reliable to use.

Don't trust musconv. The app is a bit fishy. Installed it myself briefly. It doesn't install like a normal app, you can tell during the installation process that it has something else running in the background during the install. Windows flags it as potentially unsafe. Then as you try to uninstall it, it doesn't register to the system as an installed application, rather just a loose application that you need to remove the files individually.

The free version of Spotify won't play over WIFI to an Echo, but the Spotify Premium service does.

Without wishing to derial this thread, would anyone who has used both care to comment on which they prefer and why? I'm a long time Spotify user but they don't have some tracks I'd like them to have, so wonder if Amazon might offer better coverage?

I see the problems my best friend has with Amazon music so I think I'll stick to spotify. It could be user error but it seems to go wrong a lot more, things like downloading the offline library to every device if you tell it to download to just one device and also deleting from them all when deleting from one device.

The way playlists work is very different, suspect you'd get used to it but it would need a mental change on how you group the music. Amazon used to have a lot less music available but that seem to have improved a lot recently. Because spotify just do one thing they spend more time on the apps but Amazon gives the feeling they don't do quite as much work because it's part of a bigger ecosystem for them.
