Song.link is the simplest I know of and seems to work pretty well. Just go to song.link/YOUR_TRACK_URL. For example
https://song.link/https://music.apple.com/album/never-gonna-give-you-up-2022-remaster/1624945511?i=1624945512
will take you to this page https://song.link/i/1624945512 with links to Spotify, Apple Music, Tidal, YouTube and what not.
Bonus tip: if you're on macOS and use Velja there's an option to automatically convert all copied music links to songlink.
!You son of a bitch, you got me. !<
The name is in the url
Oh that's really clever!!
Honestly, as much as I hate it, but YouTube seems to be the best service in that regard. Even small indy bands seem to have their songs on there.
If link to YouTube it’s best to delete the trackers from the url by deleting the ? and everything after it
In Firefox there's an option to copy links without site tracking. Kinda wish it was the default behaviour.
In some cases it can be geoblocked or would be deleted with time if IP holders demand so. But that's probably the case for most platforms. The pro-point for youtube is that it is embeddable in most social networks and website engines, so if you post it to your blog or chat it'd play within the page or app without coming to another resource.
The ~~I permanent~~ impermanent nature of YouTube and other host sites, such as photo bucket and forum reformats, has drastically changed how I comment. I try to type all the pertinent details instead of dropping a link alone, hoping to future-proof the info by giving readers the info required to use a search engine to find it if the link breaks
Clever. Didn't thought about that.
Corrected a type that flips the meaning, though I'm guessing people identified it. "impermanent"
I think OP is asking for a vendor neutral application that allows the user to listen to the song on the platform of their choice, like Songlink as some suggested.
I think Songwhip is what you are looking for. Here is an example: https://songwhip.com/ed-schraders-music-beat/pilot
This looks good, thank you. I will give it a try!
It should be a direct link to the music that can be played directly with no extra steps like selecting a streaming serivce. Youtube is probably the best option.
If the song is able to be freely distributed share a magnet link for an mp3, opus or flac file.
If you post only links to streaming platforms then there is no way that every user can listen to your music, because that user would need his own contract with that streaming service that you have selected.
For example, I do not have an account at any music streaming service.
Ideally it would give public links too, such as Youtube
Idk if you need an account to listen to a specific song linked from Spotify or the like, anyone knows for sure?
You can hear a preview of it on Spotify if you don't have an account.
soundcloud works well in most browsers, but i personally dislike it. just sayan
Would be useful, but I can't think of anything that would do this. A bot that scraped the chosen song's links from popular streaming services would be pretty neat and, to my knowledge, possible. I've seen it done with stuff like Skyrim mods or MTG Card linking on Reddit.
On Lemmy? Convert them to mp4 and upload it as a video.
Why not send mp3s? Or sound formats? Is there no support for it?
