How to transfer music and playlists to a new phone

Short answer: install Audify on both phones and use its built-in transfer to send songs directly — no internet — along with playlists, equalizer presets and settings. Or restore a Google Drive backup on the new phone.

Transfer everything in 5 steps

1. 1. Install the same player on both phones. Put Audify on the old and new phone so both speak the same transfer format.
2. 2. Open the transfer feature on both. Start the share/transfer tool on each device — one sends, one receives.
3. 3. Connect the two phones. The phones link directly to each other over a local connection; no Wi-Fi network or mobile data is required.
4. 4. Choose what to send. Select your songs and playlists and start the transfer. Larger libraries take a little longer but need no internet.
5. 5. Or restore a Google Drive backup. Prefer the cloud? On the new phone open Backup and Restore, sign in to the same Google Drive, and restore — playlists, lyrics, videos and settings come back.

What carries over

Audify’s transfer moves more than just the audio files. It brings across your playlists (including Favourites and Most Played), equalizer presets, pinned folders and albums, hidden-item lists and app settings — so the new phone feels exactly like the old one.

One note: the transfer moves Audify’s own playlists, not external .m3u files from other apps. If your music lives in a different player, export or copy those files manually first.
