I've used https://odesli.co/ in the past (formerly song.link) - seems like the same thing, useful service.
Songwhip – Share a music link to every platform

Re: Songwhip – Share a music link to every platform
#12I'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…
I assume because these count as material for which Spotify technically has copyright over, or at least has been assigned a license to use, so importing them into a competitor app is likely to cause litigation.
I’m referring to songs that the other apps also have. As an example, both Spotify and TIDAL have licenses for - and will happily play - the vast majority of the North American catalog. Spotify has more user-created public playlists, but not a ton more music.

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/ .

#14Hey I'm Wilson,
I designed and built Songwhip (solo) and continue to work on it fulltime. Happy to answer any questions :)

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 work for others. I appreciate the link.

I mean collections of songs (ie playlists) are themselves copyrightable. Even if they have the songs licenced, they cannot copy playlists from Spotify without risking legal action.

Spotify actually got sued after some users uploaded playlists that copied ministry of sound playlists, so there is some history of actual litigation in this area.

Thanks, that's fascinating. At least from a cursory search (https://www.google.com/search?q=are+public+playlists+copyrig...), conclusive case law doesn't seem to exist in the US. In the UK, the one case I found was settled (https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2014/feb/27/spotify-m...) and didn't address an app/company attempting to enforce a copyright license received when a user created a playlist. It's not clear in either jurisdiction, but like you said, litigation is definitely possible.

Awesome product. Are there any worries that platforms may restrict the APIs that you depend on?
Re: Songwhip – Share a music link to every platform
#19Would 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!). While it'll mostly find the same piece of music on different platforms, often they will be different recordings which isn't appropriate.
I say this because linking to recordings across platforms is a key part of my partner's workflow, and a tool like this (if customisable landing pages could be easily created/curated) would be a game changer!
