Would pay for this if you could customise the links on each platform rather than only have the robot suggestions. While it works fine for 'popular' music, like almost all music platforms and tools it totally sucks for classical music (and I appreciate Songwhip is a free and cool thing, not complaining!).

I'd imagine that customizable landing pages are easier to implement than automatically generated ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Hey I'm Wilson, I designed and built Songwhip (solo) and continue to work on it fulltime. Happy to answer any questions :)
Awesome product. Are there any worries that platforms may restrict the APIs that you depend on?
I'm also curious how you're doing this. One of my apps heavily uses the Spotify API and Spotify has started to get very strict on who uses their API and if/how they are allowed to monetize.
There’s actually a web app that does exactly what you are describing. It seamlessly converts playlists between apple music to spotify and vice versa. Check it out https://playlistor.io/ .
Thank you! This is really close. It doesn't solve my personal need but it may work for others. It only works with Apple Music, which isn't the app I use. Also, when I paste a public Spotify playlist URL (source), it asks for my Apple Music credentials instead of creating a public Apple Music playlist or if that's not possible, generating a page with play links. Still, it's trying to solve the same problem and may wor…
You are welcome. With spotify to Apple music conversion, your credentials are needed because the Apple music endpoint requires the user to be authenticated to be able to create playlists. Also, after a successful conversion, the links to each platforms playlist is listed on the web app. I thank you for checking it out.

Very cool, well done.
Two questions:
1. Do you plan to monetize it to aid in the sustainability of this product?
2. Any thoughts on implementing this functionality for playlists?
I'd love to see the same for public playlists. Example: an anonymous user pastes the URL to a public playlist that someone else made on, say, Spotify. The Web app creates a public playlist on another platform -- or even just spits out a bookmarkable "Playlist equivalent page" that has Songwhip links for each tracks (and the user has to play each one). Given the number of public Spotify playlists, I'm a little surpris…

My experience in trying this recently was that https://www.tunemymusic.com/ was able to match more of my iTunes library to Spotify than Playlistor, but YMMV.
As a PWA on Android this is great! I can share from Spotify and then it opens a Songwhip link to share. Solves a minor problem I have about sharing music links.

It's a freemium model, so maybe in the Pro version (waiting list).
