Frequently Asked Questions

Why does YouTube audio sound worse than Apple Music?

YouTube compresses all audio to approximately 128kbps AAC (or lower on mobile) because it prioritizes video bandwidth. Apple Music offers lossless ALAC at up to 24-bit/192kHz — the same quality as the studio master. The difference is especially noticeable on good headphones or speakers.

How do I convert a YouTube link to Apple Music?

Paste any YouTube video URL into the search bar above. YT2Apple Music identifies the song and shows the matching Apple Music link. Click "Listen in Lossless" to open it directly in the Apple Music app.

Is this free?

Yes, completely free with no daily limits, no signup, and no premium plans. We use the iTunes Search API and a community-powered database.

Does the Apple Music link support lossless playback?

Yes — we open songs in the native Apple Music app (not the web player). The native app supports Lossless, Hi-Res Lossless, and Dolby Atmos Spatial Audio, depending on your settings and hardware.

What about Spatial Audio and Dolby Atmos?

Many songs on Apple Music support Dolby Atmos Spatial Audio, which creates an immersive 3D listening experience. YouTube doesn't offer this. When you open a song from YT2Apple Music, Spatial Audio plays automatically if the track supports it and you have compatible headphones.

How is this different from Song.link or Odesli?

Song.link creates universal links but doesn't let you search by song name, doesn't open the native Apple Music app (so no lossless), and isn't designed for audiophiles. YT2Apple Music is purpose-built for people who want to go from compressed YouTube audio to lossless Apple Music quality.
