As I always see people sharing links to Spotify, Apple Music and other services directly, I want to mention Odesli for a second.

It's also known as Songlink, as it generates links like this.

And also as Albumlink, as it generates links like this.

It can also do links for albums and podcasts.

It only takes a few seconds to generate but saves everyone a lot of time.

Odesli will generate a page that links to all possible music services where the song, album or artist can be found. Including services that aren't that mainstream.

So maybe you can take the time the next time you want to share an album or song and generate a more accessible link for everyone. 😊

@kaiserkiwi @kaiserkiwi I always check the service, this one looks OK. It's owned by Linktree, which has a freemium business model that actually generates income. But it's valued at 1.3B which seems really high. That means that they could be bought at any moment by Google, Amazon, etc. Or go out of business.

@msilverstar And every service has an API. So their would be a replacement pretty fast.

I actually started a project like that, but stopped at Apple Music, Spotify and YouTube Music when I discovered Odesli.

So in the worst case: I would just build it myself. The running costs are minimal.

But I would start it as an open source project the next time.

@kaiserkiwi It seems very Fediverse
