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. https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/music-link/gnhphofp...

Do you have a Firefox version of this?

Orion supports FF and Chrome extensions, if you're in the market for a (good) Safari clone.

The youtube music matching didn't work for the first two songs I tried: Two Words by Kanye West: https://open.spotify.com/track/62wtttQzoIA9HnNmGVd9Yq?si=b1b... Went to Two Words by Milabel Ranque: https://music.youtube.com/watch?v=Y64cFG9dfYo Never Let Me Down by Kanye West: https://open.spotify.com/track/34j4OxJxKznBs88cjSL2j9?si=7ec... Went to Never Let me Down by Depeche Mode: https://music.youtube.com/watch?v=sn…

I don't understand why other people are hating on Kanye's music. I understand that he is not a very likeable person, but his music is damn good y'all. Especially the ones you tried :D

Earlier quoted context omitted.

That’s absolutely still true. I just disabled Spotify app link handling, and then Spotify opens in Firefox on my phone. And on Desktop it works the same way. edit: misread parts of grandparent. Yeah, the 30s previews are gone, didn’t even realize anyone used those.

When I open a Spotify link as a webpage, I can't play that song unless I have an account. At some point in the past you didn't have to.

You always had to, in the past it gave a 30s preview. It still does that in Discord.

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 :( 1: https://chodounsky.com/2019/03/24/progressive-web-applicatio...

Won't help you now OP, but I've always negotiated an IP carve-out for any product(s) that I develop that: A. Are developed with my own hardware B. Are developed outside of hours of employment C. Are not designed to compete with existing company products Every place I've worked with was amenable to these terms, but I always make sure to get it IN WRITING .

I had that in my contract when I started in the games industry, it was made very clear to me that if I don't like the terms there are 500 other juniors willing to take my spot. Not excusing it, I'm just saying that sometimes you're not in a position to negotiate this if you really want the job(and I really wanted the job at the time, we can argue whether that was the right thing to do or not but the fact remains).

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.

Apple Music also integrates with your own music library, which is the killer feature for me.

As does YouTube Music

I've had songs I uploaded later disappear due to their changing agreements with music providers. A google take-out contained the missing files so I was able to recover them, but I'll never again rely on such an integration.

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. :) https://app.tunemymusic.com/transfer

Anyone know of a technical solution to retrieve a list of 'titles' for deleted videos from a youtube playlist? Have at least 10x Playlists full of removed/deleted music that has been inappropriately copyright striked, but I can't even reconstitute the playlists as I don't have the Title/Artist for the removed tracks.

This is so helpful. This is the one blocking piece preventing my transfer off Spotify.

https://musicbrainz.org/doc/MusicBrainz_Identifier > One of MusicBrainz' aims is to be the universal lingua franca for music by providing a reliable and unambiguous form of music identification; this music identification is performed through the use of MusicBrainz Identifiers (MBIDs).

A damn shame they want $5k for mbid.org

Could you tell me who? I love MBID but didnt read about that. Thanks in advance
