Playlists. I can migrate them to Apple Music but the order in which I added each of these songs is important to me and the last time I tried to export them, such an order was lost.

I know I might be the minority but that's what happened to me the last time I wanted to try something different from Spotify.

Look up SongShift app, might be of some use. I was able to successfully migrate my playlists out of Spotify and into AppleMusic seamlessly.

It gets the order but there’s no way to preserve date information. I like having the dates because I can use my playlists as a sort of sonic journal.

If it's only the order that matters, I wonder if you could write a script to add the playlists to Apple Music one song at a time?

Apple requires you to sign up for their developer program ($99/yr) to use the Apple Music API, so you'd either have to pony up some money or do something fancy.

If you can get your data out of Spotify and into a CSV file, I think you could use Shortcuts to create the playlists and populate them.
