Q: Moving/Copying Playlist and Songs from One AppleID to Another.

Hey!

 

I want to move one playlist; with all 120 songs, and everything on it, on one Music Library, on an AppleID to different Music Library, on a different AppleID.

 

I am using a Macbook Pro, and I am using the same computer for everything.

 

I tried selecting the playlist, then going to File > Library > Import Playlist, switching AppleID and then File > Library > Export Playlist but it does NOT bring over any of the songs, it just.. doesn't! It still has the background color, but none of the songs or the playlist picture come along with it.

 

Thanks.

MacBook Pro, OS X El Capitan (10.11.3)

    What is the user setup? Are these multiple libraries in one user account, or separate libraries for different users? Do not confuse a computer user account with an AppleID.

    I've been trying to do this too. I recently quit Spotify and joined Apple Music instead. I bought the Stamp App to try to transfer playlists from my old Spotify account into my new Apple music account, which I did successfully. Now I have all the playlists within my iCloud library. I have shared the playlists with my wife (we have family sharing enabled) but although she can play the playlists, she cannot add to them.

     

    So what I'm trying to do now is figure out an easy way to essentially copy or duplicate the playlists on my wife's Apple ID, so that she can add songs to it on her own. Ideally I'm not adding each song individually as there are a lot of songs. Is there some way I can export the playlist and import it on my wife's Apple ID?
