It will not come as news to anyone streaming music via Spotify, Apple Music, Amazon, Tidal, etc – the playlist is the proprietary bit. The music is identical but your curated playlists are a barrier to moving.

Today, I saw a Spotify playlist in this Cool Tools post:

 I’m in love with this “Halloween” playlist because it isn’t cheesy songs like the Monster Mash and Ghostbusters, instead, it’s an adults’ Halloweenish soundtrack featuring great moody music from bands like M83, the Cure, the National and more. This plays nonstop at my house from Labor Day through the end of October.

Here is the playlist link – it’s “Halloween is a Dead Man’s Party“

But I don’t use Spotify. Because of the subsidized hardware, we use Amazon to stream to a bunch of Echos connected to speakers.

The solution is a free web app called Tune My Music. It’s free, and Amazon lists it as an approved way to import playlists. It can go back and forth between a great number of services, but for me I just setup a new Spotify account (yay hide my email!), granted access to TMM, and then playlist access to Amazon music, and it copied it over. Only one track was missing; good enough.

So maybe a bookmark in case you want to move between services.
