FreeYourMusic - Easy Transfers 4+

Favorite albums sometimes turn into playlists

I was surprised when about 1/5 of my favorite albums in Tidal were turned into playlists in Apple Music instead of albums. It turns out that when FYM doesn't find an exactly matching album in the destination service it creates a playlist instead. This behavior does make sense, but it would nice if the app warned the user when it was doing it and gave the option to not make the conversion.

Accuracy in matching tracks in playlists is okay but not great. A source playlist containing a set of tracks from a single album will often turn into a set of tracks from different albums by the same artist. About 10% of the time the track is completely different - e.g., a jazz tune from 1958 turns into a song by Drake.

For $10, I’d expect better.

While the app does transfer songs pretty fast, it does it in the most lazy way. It creates a separate playlist for the songs you transferred, so if you’re part or the majority who’s “library” is technically “liked songs”, prepare to spend time going through and re-liking all your songs. While this could be helpful if you’re trying to get rid of some songs, there’s a further point I’d like to address. For the most part it adds songs that were in your library, however I have also noticed that some of my songs were replaced by remixes of the same song. If you’re someone like me who listens to a substantial amount of EDM, you’ll understand how frustrating it is finding that perfect remix for you, which is just partially why this was such a frustrating process. In addition, about 1/4 of my library wasn’t even added!!!

In conclusion, if you’re looking to quickly move the majority of your library fast, and have a spare $10, I’d recommend this program. However, buyer beware, you’re going to have a subnational amount of slack to pick up.

Easily shared but some issues

This app is great for sharing my playlists with my different music apps. But I have found that there have been quite a few songs that don’t get shared and also quite a few songs that I’ve never had on a playlist before start showing up. I also hate that I’m constantly getting alerts that my transfers will stop if I don’t open the app. I wish it would just share in the background so I didn’t have to keep the app open if I want to share my playlists. Otherwise, I was very happy to find this app because I never would have been able to remake all my playlists.
