Through a new joint initiative, Google and Apple are making it possible to transfer playlists between Apple Music and YouTube Music in either direction using the “Data Transfer Project.”

This new option arrives via Google and Apple both using the “Data Transfer Project” stack which was developed by the two companies as a part of the Data Transfer Initiative, of which both Google and Apple are members. This same ongoing partnership has also previously delivered the photo-sharing tool used to transfer photos and videos from iCloud to Google Photos.

In a blog post, the Data Transfer Initiative (DTI) teases that other services may join in time, saying:

Portability is a hard problem, and no tool can be perfect. But at DTI, our ambition – shared with our partners – is to build and ship best-in-class offerings for direct portability. We believe we have accomplished that goal with this newest DTP-powered tool, and we’re proud that users of Apple Music and YouTube Music can now transfer playlists between those services, free of charge, with a high quality experience. We hope and anticipate that other services will join us in this journey over time

I think it may have been songza. That's a word bubbling to my brain.

Still in agreement though. Google music was top tier. They're the only streaming app that organized my library in a sane way. I just want the organization from the ipod touch, but Spotify wants their weird homogenous shit.

Yeah songs it was the one that they bought out and it was touted as being run by hipsters
