| 0:00.0 | Welcome to 95 Mac Daily for Thursday, September 18th, 2025. |
| 0:07.2 | I'm your host, Chance Miller. |
| 0:09.2 | We are sponsored this week by IMAZing. |
| 0:12.5 | Leading off today following a limited launch late last month, Apple has now officially rolled out its new Apple Music Import Tool worldwide, |
| 0:20.3 | making it easier for users who want to switch |
| 0:22.6 | from Spotify and other music platforms to Apple Music. The feature has been gradually rolling out |
| 0:28.3 | over the last several months, but Apple has now updated its website to confirm its available worldwide, |
| 0:34.1 | with the exception of China, Myanmar, and Russia. |
| 0:48.4 | The tool is available on iOS, iPadOS, and the web, and it's meant to make it easy for users to import their saved music and playlists from other streaming services into Apple Music. |

| 1:33.1 | so users will have 30 days from the initial transfer to review that unmatched music and choose |
| 1:39.3 | from other versions. If you're currently a Spotify or other music subscription service user, and you've been considering switching to Apple Music, this makes the process significantly easier. |
| 1:50.2 | In other news today, the Apple Sports app has seen a number of great updates since it debuted last year, and the latest of these brings support for a popular iOS feature, widgets on your home screen. |
| 2:02.5 | Apple says that this brings widgets for Apple Sports for access to live scores and schedules |
