Step 1. On your Mac, locate the GarageBand program and open it. On the homepage of GarageBand, start an empty project or open an existing project to import tracks.
Step 2. We've stored the Spotify songs in the local folder in the last part, now open the folder to drag any song you want to the editing screen of the opened project.
🌴 Import Spotify Music to GarageBand on iPhone/iPad
Importing Spotify music takes more steps. As the converted Spotify Music tracks are stored on the computer, the priority is to upload these converted tracks to iPhone or iPad.
After that, we resume the process to import Spotify Music files to GarageBand from the local space of the iPhone/iPad
Before stepping into the instructions, we give a hint of the required tool. We will use iTunes to import Spotify songs to iPhone or iPad as it's widely used by iOS users. It's free and you've probably installed it before.
Step 1. On your computer, open iTunes if you've installed it. If not, please get it from its official website. It's free to install. The following step is to connect your iPhone or iPad to the computer via a USB cable.
Step 2. On iTunes, we'd better create a new playlist to add the converted Spotify songs. In the right panel, right-click on its empty area to add a new playlist.
Step 2. Then you are allowed to drag the converted Spotify songs to this newly created playlist.
Step 3. When the iOS device is connected well, you will see a "device icon" 
above all tabs. Click it to check files on the connected iOS device. Scroll down and click on the "Music" tab.
Step 4. More options appear. You need to select "Sync Music" and then tick off the check box of "Selected playlists, artists, albums, and genres". Move down, you can find the newly created Spotify playlist you need to sync under the "Playlists" category. Be careful, you should deselect other playlists and only select the newly created playlist if you refuse an overwriting to the existing playlists on your device. Click on "Sync/Apply" to process the uploading. Soon after, the newly uploaded playlist is displayed in the Music app on iPhone or iPad after the transfer.
Step 5. Now, we import the downloaded Spotify music to the device as local files. Just open your GarageBand to add songs. On the main interface, simply open a new project or open an existing project. Then click this button 
in the top left.
Step 6. Go to this button 
in the top right and press it.
