This article covers a simple tutorial to transfer playlists from Google Play Music to Apple Music. Google Play Music is a music store rather than a music streaming service. Comparing it from a service-type point of view, it’s more like iTunes than Apple Music. On top of that, it also serves as a media player for local music files which you can merge together with online music in playlists. With all that, transferring playlist from Google Play Music is not so easy.
There are many online tools to transfer playlists from one service to another but most of them don’t have an option for Google Play Music to Apple Music.
