According to the company’s FAQ page: “If you’re a current Groove Music Pass subscriber eligible under Spotify’s terms and move your music to Spotify before January 31, 2018, you’ll receive 60 days of Spotify Premium for free. Also, everyone will get a free 60 days of Spotify Premium. It’s also worth noting that if your Groove Music Pass subscription goes beyond the cutoff date, Microsoft will give you a prorated refund from December 31, 2017, onwards. The price is $9.99/month and the company offers family and student plans, too. Upgrading to Premium gets rid of the ads and provides other options like a higher streaming quality and unlimited song skips. You get ads while streaming music (similar to what Pandora does) and ad banners in the app. Keep in mind that Spotify is free to stream music but is ad-supported. One thing I have noticed, though, is that some of the songs in my playlists are in different orders. I do have a huge collection so I am not sure everything transferred correctly, but I haven’t had any complaints yet. Click the Launch Spotify button and it will open the app store so you can install it if you don’t have it already.Īfter I transferred everything from my Groove account, it all seemed to show up in Spotify, playlists and all.
Once the transfer has completed you’ll get an All Done message shown below.
You’ll see a series of ad banners for Spotify in the progress window while you wait. After you have everything set up and connected, you’re ready to move your playlists, songs, and albums to Spotify. If you don’t have a Spotify account already, it gives you the option to sign up.Īfter you log in, you need to agree to software terms and verify that you want to connect Groove to Spotify. Next, you’ll see that you need to connect Groove with your Spotify account by logging in with your email or Facebook.
To start the process, open the Groove Music app and you should see the following message explaining the change – select the “Move my music” button. The app will continue to be updated and offered on Windows 10, iOS, Android, and Xbox. That means you can still use the app to play your own music collection as well as any music you’ve uploaded to OneDrive or FLAC files (Spotify can’t play them). Note: The Groove Music app isn’t done for – just the streaming music service is ending.
