Ryan Haines / Android Authority TL;DR Spotify is working on a feature to import your music. Currently, the service offers no way to import music from other services. We also discovered a URL for the feature. Hopping from one music service to another can be a pain for multiple reasons.

Security may not be exciting, but AWS proves it's essential

Editor's take: If I'm being totally honest, it's difficult to get excited about improved security capabilities in the tech world. I know they're incredibly important and absolutely essential to keep everything functional in today's cyberthreat-filled world. But it's kind of like thinking about insurance – not much fun.
