Spotify now lets you import playlists from other music apps

Say goodbye to rebuilding playlists from scratch

Add as a preferred source on Google

What’s happened? Spotify has launched a new feature that lets you import your favourite playlists from other streaming services directly into the app. The integration is powered by TuneMyMusic, and is rolling out globally on mobile platforms.

  • In the Spotify mobile app, go to Your Library > Import your music, then select your source platform and follow the prompts to connect with TuneMyMusic.
  • Your playlists will appear in Spotify after the import without needing further manual intervention.
  • Once playlists arrive in Spotify, they feed into Spotify’s algorithm immediately, helping it learn your taste faster and personalize suggestions right away.

This is important because: Switching music services has been a real headache because it required building your playlists from scratch or using clunky third-party tools. Now, with the new built-in feature, Spotify simplifies that switch with an easy transfer option.

  • The new “Import your music” option lives inside Spotify’s Your Library section on mobile, so you don’t need an external app.
  • It supports imports from the best music streaming services such as Apple Music, Amazon Music, YouTube Music, Tidal, Deezer, Pandora, SoundCloud and more.
  • Your existing playlists stay intact on the original service as they’re copied to Spotify, not deleted.

Why should I care? This update is perfect for anyone who has curated music for years or wants a cleaner, more organised library.

  • If you’ve ever used free trials on Apple, YouTube, or Amazon Music and left playlists behind, you can now bring them back into one place.
  • It’s especially useful if you’ve followed artists on different apps over the years and don’t remember where all your favourite playlists live.

OK, what’s next? Once you’ve imported playlists, you can actually do more with them inside Spotify, and this is where the real value kicks in.

Proton reveals how smart TVs track you and the escape situation is pretty grim 
Modern smart TVs fingerprint your screen content at the chipset level.

Your smart TV may know far more about your viewing habits than you realize, even if you rarely use its smart features. In a new privacy explainer, Proton warns that many modern TVs quietly collect data about everything displayed on the screen and share it with manufacturers, advertisers, and analytics companies.

The worrying part is that escaping this tracking is becoming increasingly difficult because many privacy controls are buried deep in settings or enabled by default. Proton argues that buying a smart TV today often means accepting a level of surveillance that most people never knowingly signed up for.

LG is cracking down on smart TV apps that quietly turn your TV into a secret proxy
LG OLED Settings

If you own an LG smart TV, there's a chance one of your harmless-looking apps has been moonlighting as an internet relay for someone else's traffic. According to a report from KrebsOnSecurity, LG says it's finally stepping in to stop this menace. This week, the company confirmed it plans to suspend any webOS app that turns a TV into what's called a residential proxy node.

The move follows a report from security firm Spur, which found that more than 42 percent of apps on LG's webOS store include SDKs that quietly reroute internet traffic through your TV, indefinitely. Samsung isn't spared either, with over a quarter of Tizen apps carrying similar code.

The LG C6 OLED is great out of the box. These settings make it even better.
From Filmmaker Mode to shadow detail and AI Sound Pro, these are the settings that made the biggest difference after a month of testing the LG C6 OLED.

The LG C6 OLED is one of the best mid-range OLED TVs you can buy right now. After spending the past month testing and using it every day, one thing became clear: straight out of the box, you're leaving picture quality on the table.

The good news is that getting more out of the TV doesn't require professional calibration or hours spent digging through menus. A handful of small adjustments can make movies look more cinematic, improve shadow detail, smooth out motion and even make the built-in speakers sound noticeably better. Here are the exact settings I've been using after living with the LG C6.
