Can I play downloaded Apply Music on Spotify?

Someone asked: "Gave Apple Music a try. Made a few nice playlists. But the interface was driving me mad, so I'm back to Spotify (with open arms?). Is there an easy way to import my recent Apple Music playlists into Spotify playlists? Googling this seems to be just ideas on how to do the opposite. Maybe Spotify should have a easy import tool to go along with a "Come back to me" ad campaign?!?"
This can be explained how to transfer your Apple Music playlist to Spotify. You know that Apple Music and Spotify are totally different streaming services with different accounts.

More “Carpool Karaoke” will be on Apple Music soon

“Late Late Show” viewers can get even more “Carpool Karaoke” soon on Apple Music. 
Host James Corden is launching an extended version of the segment, which consists of 16 half-hour episodes that will run exclusively on the streaming service, reports Variety
Don’t expect it to look exactly like the take on the “Late Late Show,” though: This time, Corden won’t be hosting the whole series. Instead, each episode will have a different celebrity “host” in the driver’s seat with more time for interviews. These interviews will pair up stars like John Legend and Alicia Keys, and Seth MacFarlane with Ariana Grande. 
Co-executive producer Ben Winston said, “What James does is so special and singular, it was silly, as we figured out how to make a full series, to try and replicate that.” 
The idea was borne from the demand of non-musical celebrities who wanted to participate. 
“We wouldn’t do Will Smith on [‘Late Late Show’],” Winston said. “So many people have been getting in touch with us, big movie stars, and we’re like, ‘that’s not really for us,’ but here with Apple Music it’s perfect.”
There is no release date yet for the show, which will be Apple Music’s first original series.

What are the Apple's Best of 2016 year

Serving as an accompaniment to its Best of 2016 charts, Apple on Tuesday posted to YouTube a video chronicling last year's most memorable movies, TV shows, apps, music, Beats 1 interviews and more.
best-l-l
Set to a catchy upbeat tune, the minute-long spot runs through a sampling of clips and animations borrowed from apps, TV shows, movies, e-books and other digital content that made it to Apple's Best of 2016 list.

Loosely organized by content type, Apple's video jumps from movies "La La Land" and "Moonlight" to apps like SeveredPrisma and SketchBook Motion. TV shows highlighted in today's ad include NBC's "This is Us," Cartoon Network's "Steven Universe" and breakout FX series "Atlanta."

As can be expected, music was a major focus for Apple in 2016. Top picks from Apple Music and iTunes include David Bowie's "Blackstar," Maren Morris' "My Church" and Shawn Mendes' "Treat You Better." In addition to music video clips from full length albums, EPs and singles, Apple threw in a pair of Beats 1 interviews with Lady Gaga and Pharrell Williams. "Heavyweight" stands as the video rundown's lone podcast.

A selection of e-books is also incorporated as a nod to the iBooks Store.

Interspersed between the clips a tagline reads, "We celebrate what mattered the most and was the most fun. Our picks. Our passions. Best of 2016."



Each media snippet is annotated with its title and creator, whether it be a musician, developer or author, as well as a small icon denoting from which digital store it originated. For example, apps get the App Store logo, while movies feature a film strip for iTunes Movies.
