I used to use Apple Music, and never brought playlists over. Also used Spotify and TIDAL, but recommendations were never great on any of these.

    To back up what’s already been said, you could use another service to create playlists then use a service like SongShift to replicate it on your platform.

    A word of caution though. It might not always pick the right song you want from the album you want. Like, you might get a live version or you might get a version from some random compilation album (especially jarring when the album art appears).

    You could also just export from SongShift to a CSV file, if that’s your jam.

    I’ve always thought the recommendations from Apple were off. I remember that any time I’d play a grunge playlist, it would include Pink Floyd. Last I used it, I thought Pandora was pretty good.

      Pandora will play a lot of repeats :( it also seems to stick to “safer” (eg popular) songs. I’ve had much better luck with YouTube music. I’ve found a lot of eclectic, but very good, music using it.
