This is probably a dumb question but what is a better way to send a link to a song to friends without using Spotify? I don't use Spotify anymore so I don't like going back to that website just to copy a song link so people could hear it. I know I could send something like a YouTube link but I'm trying to degoogle so I wanted to see if there was an alternative? Can you send songs as last.fm links? Idk I just randomly thought about this and wanted to ask if I'm being weird or something Thanks in advance

Cool! I didn't know about this. Thanks for the recommendation.

I know I'm middle aged but ... MP3s? A few megabytes isn't that much these days.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 10 months ago (1 children)

I haven't touched an MP3 file for years. Everything's streamed.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 10 months ago

I still touch MP3 because it is compact and we need everything to be stored locally.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 10 months ago

I just didn't want to look weird/sus plus mp3s don't always do a preview thing in discord (I know, I'm trying to switch to matrix) so sometimes it makes you download the file But yeah I guess I can just send the file

Some alternative clients of Apple Music I use use the API of this to copy “universal” song/album links. It also has functions as a music search engine so maybe it can be useful to you. It’s not FOSS and its privacy policy could be better though. https://odesli.co/

That looks interesting!

I'm curious about this too, but more for for sharing long, self-made playlists. A single song is not too bad to send or find on YouTube but a playlist is difficult

Find it on Piped or some other YouTube front end that isn't associated with Google aside from allowing you to watch the videos uploaded to YT.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago

Maybe piped?

I'm confused, can you not just search "Blur Song 2 spotify" (for example) in your browser and copy the link that comes up without ever actually clicking it or using Spotify? I don't use Spotify either but sometimes want to show my friends songs and I know they won't listen unless it's a Spotify link so I do this.
