FreeYourMusic - Easy Transfers Reviews

by Hkfifuviioo

While FreeYourMusic 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.

I wanted to like FreeYourMusic. Tried the demo version and used a playlist with 70 songs in it of all the same artist. It failed at transferring 10 songs even though I retried syncing the failed songs several times over. It also added random songs into the playlist which are not in the original playlist. I will be deleting FreeYourMusic right after this review.

Update:
In response to developers reply. I used another 5-star app to transfer the same playlist above and all 70 songs were transferred. No additional songs added.

DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY. This is by far the most polished LOOKING method of transferring between platforms, but easily the worst performing. It missed almost half of my songs.

I was tired of using other methods to transfer my music and decided I would pony up and use a paid-app to get the job done correctly. Apparently they spent all of their money on the UI and zero on the actual music transfer process.

The hacked together process created with IFTTT and workflow worked more accurately than FreeYourMusic. Unfortunately, your best option is to save your $10 and just keep the music platform you’re already using.

I downloaded FreeYourMusic which initially stated “Free App” and then half way down as usual nothing is free, you have to pay either one time payment for basic or there are other plans listed. Now half of my songs didn’t get transfer even though I paid $8.99. The files listed as “missing”. No way to know or information listed anywhere and how can I upload the missing songs to my current streaming service . Very frustrating. Any help I’d appreciated from the customer service.

I would give any app that transferred my music in toto and without hours of going back and forth 5 stars. They fail to tell you that FreeYourMusic “matches” your library against theirs and if they do not have that particular song they substitute one of theirs. They also don’t tell you that if they don’t have a match, your song doesn’t transfer. I lost about 40 songs. Songs I’ve had for decades are now lost in “Free Your Music” wasteland. I was bitterly disappointed. Support got back to me in good time but I wish I knew then what I know now. I would have picked another app.

I want my money back. I want my songs back. And do not let your phone shut itself off and do not change screens - that stops it altogether.

What an enormous waste of my time and money.

I am running IOS15 and I have the XR. No excuses.

I moved from Apple music to Google Play music. I wanted to get all my artists and albums from Apple -> Google.
Bought the $10 inapp purchase (overpriced), let it run. It did find most - about 90% of my music. But it just created playlists on google. If i went to google play music Artists or Albums, both were empty. I had to use the web interface of google play music to painstaking add each song to my “library” — FreeYourMusic should have done that!
FreeYourMusic has really rough edges and feels like the bare minimum was done to get it launched. Example: after you give permission for FreeYourMusic to see your applemusic, nothing happens and you have to go back and do it a second time, requiring entering credentials again (for your destination). The UI is pretty awful (pls get a designer). Worth $4 at most.

Honestly, it does what it’s supposed to do. I had no issues with songs being transferred from Tidal to Apple Music. I did not pay for the services, so I had missing songs, but that was to be expected.
However, I really didn’t appreciate that they added songs and albums into my library that I’ve never heard of (assuming to increase popularity of certain artists). I had to spend time to manually remove them, which is honestly just frustrating. It would be appreciated if they just transferred my music over.

I have been trying to use FreeYourMusic off and on for a long time—since it had its old name—and I have nothing to show for it.

Every transfer takes an extraordinary amount of time because any time I background FreeYourMusic , it stops searching or replicating anything. I have to re open it to get it moving again, and just leave my phone like that all day without touching it.

It’s very weird!! I know they’re trying, but it’s just.. if I can’t get anything done, what’s the point of it?

by CincyMills

It sort of worked. It freezes a lot, but it did save me time from going through and searching for music from my previous library. A lot of my music transferred but not all. The computer version works much better than the mobile app, but still plenty of freezing and crashing issues. Even with all the issues, it was worth the $15 for lifetime subscrption. Hopefully more updates will come. **transferred from Google Play Music to Apple Music**

I like FreeYourMusic . It’s great for moving playlists from Play Music to Apple Music.

The problem is, that’s where it stops. I have a large library of Artists and albums. Those just transfer into a giant, unorganized and unsearchable playlist, which defeats the purpose and makes listening to your music a frustrating experience.

It’s hard to blame FreeYourMusic fully for this, but you should be aware of that limitation BEFORE you fork over $8.99 or more to do your transfer like I did.

by Ms.TMart

I’ve been wanting to transfer streaming services bc of sound quality and was dreading having to re-do all of my music playlist. But there are just sooo many. So thankful I was telling a friend how I just wish they had an app for transferring all of my playlist. And boom! He shares FreeYourMusic with me. And I’m giving this 4 stars only bc i haven’t fully used FreeYourMusic just quite yet. But seems to be extremely easy and fast. Hoping this will be as easy as it seems. Will rerate soon.

by Monee'KY

FreeYourMusic worked as it should after a few glitches; this I am grateful for. I suggest in the FAQ a section on what to expect and troubleshooting if nothing syncs over. After multiple attempts to reach tech support I was able to figure out I needed to delete my sync and restart over. Also if you purchase the 9.99 basic it downloads super fast and it’s worth it.

by Bleep Bleep Lettuce

I didn’t expect it to work as well as it did. It was super fast moving my playlists over with no problems at all. only reason i gave four instead of five stars is cause you have to pay 8.99 if you want more than 100 songs moved. i paid cause i would definitely pay someone more than that to sit there and do it for me.

by Nyanodraws

Does exactly what I needed it to! I want to branch out to other music services but having to manually add all my music is a huge chore, this does it for me without issue. Because of my massive library I opted to get the premium version and ultimately the affordability for what it does is why I went with it over other similar apps. Can’t be beat!

by Tabloidssss

Sometimes it’ll get the wrong version of songs/wrong song completely or maybe the clean version instead, but overall , it still does 90% of your job for you. I did pay though, not a bad cost for all the work that you would’ve done tho

by Ttony5

I used FreeYourMusic to transfer my music from Google Play Music to Apple Music. I had my concerns reading the other reviews but decided to pay the $10. And it WORKED!
Essentially what FreeYourMusic did is copy my entire music library as well as all of my playlists into Apple Music. It couldn’t copy 100% of my songs but the ones it couldn’t copy were saved on a spreadsheet in case I want to add them manually. Huge thanks to the developers! For saving me so much time and allowing me to switch music services.

by Lovlies1

It solved my conversion problem in minutes. The same problem that took me over 3 hours to complete using another service. I used the free service to start and it took a couple seconds to transfer 10 songs and it put them directly into my iTunes library on my phone. This is an excellent product and needs better advertising as not everyone uses spoti** and App** music. Most conversion services are advertised to the larger carriers. I’d also recommend the company adding something to the name Stamp because it was not easy to find in FreeYourMusic Store.

by Zack Kiesewetter

FreeYourMusic was working great, 4 or 5 stars! However, since the update I get a “Hang tight while we update your your account” message that does not go away (even after sitting in FreeYourMusic for a half hour). I thought it was a problem on my end at first, but after seeing recent reviews, I’m definitely not alone. Until it’s fixed, I sadly have to keep to one star.

Update 2/3/21:
I am please to say all bugs from the last update have been fixed!! Back to 5 stars, and I’m so happy I can use FreeYourMusic again. Thanks guys!

Google play is shutting down and I have been waiting to join apple music because I did mot want to lose all of the music over the years. This process has been overwhelming because droid and apple are not compatible until now! Thanks to FreeYourMusic, I was able to transfer all songs easily. I started last night, got 100 songs for free bought the 8.99 package and transferred them all. App must be open to complete so I finished in the morning with zero issues. Highly recommend!

FreeYourMusic doesn’t seem to work on the IPad Pro or the IPhone. It will allow you to select a source but will not allow you to select “Apple Music” as the destination. All you get is an error message. Support send me the link for their latest app version but the same problem persists. After paying for the subscription this is very disappointing.

by Capncasual

How do I get my money back? I have run FreeYourMusic two times to import one small playlist and it imported 0 songs. It gave me an error message stating that it couldn’t reach the Apple Music servers and that I should restart my phone and try again in a few minutes. I have done both of these things multiple times and it still imports 0% of my songs. Positively worthless. Seriously, how do I get my money back? Pure garbage. Frustrating waste.

by Tjovian

It may be due to the fact that I have a vast music library, but after running for an hour or two FreeYourMusic ends up erroring out every time when attempting to transfer from my Apple Music library to any other service.

If you have a small music library with nothing relatively obscure, I’d hope it works as expected, but so far FreeYourMusic has been worthless to me and I requested a refund for my in-app purchase since it does not work as promised.

by Doxakypie

After six hours of transfer-wait in this lousy app, it froze my iPad and did nothing. I was promised an email with the license file so that I can use for Support and for activating the desktop version. Well, that license email was never sent though I wrote them twice. I finally received a lame email reply that lacked any concern or interest in their customer and was at best pathetic; and still no license. Another eye-appealing app that does nothing!

by PB Jack

Purchased for $10, since before your first attempt it warns you the free version only does 10 songs. Ok, fine I’ll bite.

Then it started a transfer from google music to Apple Music, except it doesn’t add any of my songs I’ve curated in playlists (I pay for the streaming service, I don’t buy individual tracks). Which means the whole thing was a waste.

Please advertise upfront that you don’t do streaming service songs, only individually purchased and uploaded songs. Otherwise it’s incredibly misleading.

by TheGo2SWATking

I'm writing this because FreeYourMusic is not up front with it's pricing, it waits till the very last second to hit you with the $10 charge or you can only move 10 songs. I'm not opposed to FreeYourMusic creators making money, I'm opposed to their lack of transparency. Should either charge for FreeYourMusic up front or make it clear that the free version has a limit of 10 songs in FreeYourMusic store and upon opening FreeYourMusic for the first time, before you start the process to move music around.

by Mike21345

This is a total ripoff at $10 premium. It would not transfer but a fraction of the titles, repeatedly. It would transfer a playlist of songs as separate playlist from each album, requiring a complete hash of a comprehensive playlist. I spent an entire day recombining playlists. Then the stupid server errors transferring to google play music.

Save yourself a ton of grief and keep looking. Stamp is not it. Whatever you do, don’t buy the $10 premium.

by Cool Joe 815

First I transferred Apple music to Spotify-not too bad -now I wanted to transfer it back, App wanted $9.99 for premium services. FreeYourMusic said pay once and you could use it several times. So it transferred Only 10 Songs. I felt ripped.
I wrote the the developers to see what’s going on and to make it worse my Apple watch have duplicates playlists I cant delete.
Once the developers get back to me I will give you an update.

Update:my bad I thought I paid I actually just used the free service.

by Trtlman

It costs $10 to do it and won’t fully do all my playlists. Even if I do the playlists individually it’ll say it exported 105 songs but yet they’re be 5 songs in it. So a few of my playlists I just don’t have but that’s fine, I can recreate them. At least I don’t have to recreate everything from step one.

by Wirewolfe

Moving my playlists was easy. Had an issue with one of the playlist. Emailed support. Quickly got back with me a few hours later. They had me try a couple of things. Fixed me right up. FreeYourMusic is worth every penny.

by Aesir17

If you are like me and have multiple streaming services, FreeYourMusic is excellent. You can transfer playlists super easily and quickly no matter the service. If you are not willing pay FreeYourMusic is not for you. If you are I highly recommend it, I have had minimal issues thus far.
