As a dev I hate the fact that something like Zapier apparently has to exist in this messy world, but non-technical people like my wife tend to find it intuitive and relatively easy to use so that's one option.
Though for your example I'd argue that the ingester (Apple) has a vested interest in allowing import from many formats to poach customers. Much like how Apple went to the effort of creating the Move to iOS app on android. I wonder whether having the data exported with just a song id would be sufficient under the law, because you could just normalise all useful data away and export a list of IDs to the customer which seems clearly against the purpose of the law. Showing just IDs is not my data which would mean the actual songs I like.
