I know of a even more impressive website that will transfer playlists from Spotify (or 20 other platforms, including text files) to 20 other platforms or a text file. I will share the link, but don't hug it to death y'all. :)
I made a very simple chrome extension that automatically redirects you to your preferred music service when visiting another service. In my case I have it set to YouTube Music, so if I click a Spotify (or other) link in Slack, I'll be redirected to YouTube Music.
I'd love to actually buy music and store it myself, as I've started noticing more and more that some of the songs I have on Spotify have started to disappear, but I find it very difficult to buy modern music anymore. Most gets released as singles, and as far as I know, to only streaming platforms. Is there a way to still buy the same kind of music that is on streaming platforms, and actually get the audio files?
One of the best services I get from my Nas is the ability to save the music there and be able to stream to my phone. I prefer to buy some music and have it there than relying in any subscription service.
When I used to maintain a discord music bot, it used to stream from YouTube. For Spotify urls to work though, I had to get YouTube search to work reliably. One trick which I found worked well was including the Spotify URL in the YouTube search along with the song name, artist name, etc. This helped quite a bit with picking out the "official" youtube video, since the official one often includes Spotify links in the video description, which YouTube search also matches against.
This service connects to a few more services, but you can't just paste in an existing URL. https://odesli.co/ it's more link tree type service but since you can search for songs and albums it makes it easy to find things.
I've never taken Spotify or any other music streaming service seriously. They are a joke for the same reason Netflix is, they only play limited licensed content so their selection inevitably drops and drops until everything you search ends with zero results. Obscure indie artists? Forget it.
Add average 4G reliability to that and you have a service that never has what you need, and if they do it never works when you need it (e.g. long car rides in the middle of nowhere). And then they expect you to pay for it or listen to ads too. Nothing beats a good ol' folder of mp3s. And 128GB of the average phone can store many an mp3.
Huh, that looks very interesting. A friend of mine made a streaming service back in the day where you could paste in youtube links, they got downloaded, added to a playlist and then you could listen to that together with friends on multiple computers.
I always wanted to rebuild that and adjust to my needs. Now this convert thing from the OP seems to be an interesting extension to that. Just paste in spotify links, grab the YT one, yt-dlp it and there you go. Ill put this in my favorites, thanks!
Slightly off topic but does any one of the music streaming services actually not suck?
Like I tried a bunch of them but each one made me quit in it's own unique way!
It would be fantastic if this site were a pwa that supported the chrome api [1] that lets you share directly to it on android. I would make a pr but my company owns all my ip and getting an exception takes months :(
I started using Tidal earlier this year, simply because they pay artists more (it's still basically a pittance, but it's better.)
If you share a song link using Tidal, it actually shares a landing page where the user can select from Tidal, Spotify, Apple Music, or Amazon Music. It's really great.
I don’t have Spotify, YouTube Music, Apple Music, Deezer, SoundCloud, or Tidal. Would it be too much to ask for a link to be simply converted to the text “Songname by Artist”?
this feels more like an art piece or statement, not an actual tool
what if i have a youtube link and i want to stream on spotify? what if i have an apple music link but want to play it on a linux device where only spotify works?
it's more likely that you discovered a song on youtube and wanted to add it to your spotify playlist, rather than browsing spotify and then deciding to listen on another platform.
someone should make a service like this, but make it universal for all platforms.
however, i found the ability of matching a spotify artist profile to the artist's platform profiles impressive.
This failed completely after trying to search for songs that don't have a unique name. This seemingly just does a basic string search on other streaming platforms. Sad...
For me, it didn't work. The artists and tracks on almost all of the tracks I pasted were incorrect. I suppose it would only be compatible with mainstream music.
Switch out alternative streaming services with torrent links or alternatives ways to listen to the content. And you would actually have something here.
I built a proof of concept for a VC-scale app, and something like this is one of the core features. I applied to YC S24 and didn't get an interview (SUPER understandably). If anyone wants to hear details, shoot me an email (in bio); this project's vaporware until I find the right partner.
This is a bit off-topic, but: am I just dim or could the README be a bit more informative? What it's for, who it's for, etc. (I'll give partial blame to me or github for the About section/link being there... it's offscreen by the start of the README, so I missed it)
(I also... don't use spotify... so had less-than-average context to guess the purpose of this project with.)

Even though the correct album art appeared on the site.
Actually none of the songs I put it are working. Is this what it's supposed to do? Find songs with similar titles?

It would be fantastic to have this as an extension for us, Firefox users. I hope someone makes one someday.
Works per artist, album, or song.

Am I alone on this?

It got me thinking how useful something like an "I don't have instagram" app would be. Unfortunately I suspect it would be impossible to implement.

I wish I could just share the spotify link to a WPA app using the Web Share API and have it share back the url for my preffered music streaming app.
I guess I can ask claude to do it for me and use the code here for the UI, but I can't find the license file

"Something went wrong, please try again later"
I like this idea
I left Spotify when they signed Rogan.
Well I guess I'll just go fuck myself, then.
