How to open a Spotify link in Apple Music

To open a Spotify link in Apple Music, install the free PlayOver app and set Apple Music as your platform. After that, any Spotify link someone sends you opens straight in Apple Music — nothing to copy, nothing to paste, nothing to search for. It works on iPhone, Android, Mac, and Windows.

Just need this one link? Convert it here — no install needed.
Also works the other way — Apple Music to Spotify — and across eight more services.

Three steps, then never again.

The app is free and takes about a minute to set up. After that it works quietly in the background — you never open PlayOver again, you just tap links like normal and they land in the right place.

Prefer not to install anything? The converter above handles one-off links in your browser.

1

Install PlayOver

Free on the App Store and Google Play. No account, no sign-up, no subscription.

2

Choose Apple Music

Pick your streaming service the first time you open the app. That is the whole setup — PlayOver now knows where your music should land.

3

Tap any music link

On Android, links open in Apple Music automatically. On iPhone, tap Share → PlayOver and it hands the song straight to your app.

Why doesn't a Spotify link just open in Apple Music?

Because the two services are entirely separate systems. A Spotify URL points to Spotify's own copy of a recording, identified by a Spotify-specific ID. Apple Music has no way to read that ID, and neither company offers a way to translate a link into the other's format — so tapping a Spotify link on a device without Spotify just opens a web page or an app-store prompt.

A converter closes that gap. PlayOver reads the track's underlying recording identity from the link, then finds the matching release on Apple Music and hands you a direct link to it. The same approach works in reverse — Apple Music to Spotify — and across YouTube Music, Amazon Music, Tidal, Deezer, Pandora, Boomplay, and Anghami.

How to stop doing this every time

If you get sent Spotify links regularly, converting them by hand gets old fast. Install the free PlayOver app and set Apple Music as your platform — after that, tapping any Spotify link opens it in Apple Music automatically. It works on iPhone, Android, Windows, and Mac.

Common questions.

How do I open a Spotify link in Apple Music?
Copy the Spotify link, paste it into the converter at the top of this page, and press Convert. PlayOver finds the same song on Apple Music and gives you a link that opens straight in the app. It's free and needs no account.
Why won't a Spotify link open in Apple Music?
Spotify and Apple Music use separate catalogs and separate link formats. A Spotify URL points to Spotify's own copy of the song, so Apple Music has no way to read it — and neither service will translate a link from the other. That's the gap a converter fills.
Is it free?
Completely. No account, no sign-up, and no limits for normal use.
Does this work on iPhone and Android?
Yes. The converter on this page works in any browser — iPhone, Android, Mac, or Windows. The free PlayOver app does the same thing automatically on all four.
Does it work for albums and playlists?
Songs and albums both work. Playlists don't — a playlist is a list of songs rather than a single release, so there's no one matching item to open on the other service.
Which other services can I convert between?
Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube, YouTube Music, Amazon Music, Tidal, and Deezer — both as sources and destinations — plus Pandora, Boomplay, and Anghami as destinations.
Can I stop doing this every time?
Yes. Install the free PlayOver app and set Apple Music as your platform. After that, tapping any Spotify link opens it in Apple Music automatically — no copying, no pasting.

Never convert a Spotify link by hand again.

PlayOver does this automatically on every device you own — free, no sign-up.
