Hi 

I’ve just got a era 100 - trying to work it out!

 I’ve realised it doesn’t do voice commands from you tube music so I’ve subscribed to Amazon music ( which it’s not brilliant at playing tracks from, it hardly ever get s the track I want) but all my playlists are in YouTube music…

  1. Is there anyway of copying or transferring playlists from ytm to Amazon?
  2. if I go into the app and select play from ytm ‘my super mix’  - it creates a playlist with 33600 tracks on it!! And some don’t work because they have failed to ‘encode properly’ is there a way to re encode it?
  3. anyway to get Amazon to play the same 33600 tracks !!

Thanks for your post!

  1. You would need to use a third-party tool. I can’t recommend one, but if you do an internet search for “transfer playlist from youtube music to amazon”, you should find something of use.
  2. This is an issue we are aware of and are investigating. I happen to know, however, that despite quite a few instances of this issue being reported here on the forum, that there is in fact a relatively low case count for it. I highly recommend that you (and anyone else seeing this duplicates issue) call in to report this behaviour, or it will remain low priority. The “not encoded properly” message is usually due to interference causing the audio data to get garbled - the support team will be able to help you with this when you call in, but ensuring that there are no other WiFi or radio devices within 1m (3 feet) of the router or the speaker is a good start.
  3. I’m not sure you want all 33600! See #1, however. Please note that Amazon Prime does not allow playback of specific tracks - you will need Amazon Music Unlimited for that.

I hope this helps.

I recently switched from Spotify to Apple Music and used a tool called TracklistPro. It worked great for me!. It is a simple and efficient tool that lets you transfer playlists effortlessly between Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube Music, and more, ensuring your music stays intact without the hassle of rebuilding from scratch.
