Hey, serious question here. (I know, I know, the shitposting will resume soon.)
I'm looking for an open source project that will basically take a playlist from a given streaming service (Apple Music in my case) and create some kinda playlist that can be used on other services.
So like, I've got this Celtic folk playlist in Apple Music, I could share it to this service and my friend who uses YouTube Music or Spotify or whatever, they can import the playlist.
Anyone know of something like that?
I found this, but it looks abandoned.

When i moved from Spotify to Tidal i used a subscription service that transported my playlists from one to the other. I remember it worked for a bunch of things. It was a long time ago and it cost $5 a month if you want more than 500 titles converted, and i think you need to have it linked to accounts on both ends of the conversion. So it costs money and requires presence on every service you would share to, i think
Personally, i used it from a service i was terminating to a service i was establishing and i changed all my passwords immediately after i revoked it's access, as soon as the transfers were done. Normally i wouldn't allow that kind of access on a permanent basis but i wanted to let you know this thing exists
@RnDanger Someone suggested this and it looks like you can just paste a link to the playlist from one service and not bother with connecting the account directly. I'm gonna give it a shot.
I might try and build something just for my friends and me, but this is one of those things where I'm thinking "Surely this exists, right?"
@phaedr0s And it's kind of an undocumented (or under-documented) feature in Apple Music that you can select all the songs on a playlist, right click, and then copy.
When you paste it, you get a tab delimited layout of the playlist with useful metadata.
Seems I might be able to do something with that if I don't find something I like.
@cyberpunklibrarian I'd have to double check the details, but from my experience sharing playlists with tidal links has actually worked in letting others see the playlist on their own service. Tidal added this feature over the past year and its made it way easier to share music with friends without caring about what service they use. Tidal claims other platforms could do the same, but probably won't.
There might be something in that tech thats able to be reproduced without the need to use Tidal. Would need to dig more to be certain
Not FOSS but Deezer has this as a feature built-in. You can browse their entire library without an account in a browser. Shared song links offer you to listen to it on Sloptify, Apple music or YouTube.
Random-ass example: https://link.deezer.com/s/32L7pcfbDQqfY1FdiIjTL
It uses https://www.tunemymusic.com/ to implement this which offers this feature for playlists up to 500 songs for free for ~all services.
It's not even enshittified apparently‽ Solid privacy policy :o
