A streaming music translator: I Don’t Have Spotify. Paste a share link from Spotify, YouTube Music, Apple Music, Tidal, Deezer or SoundCloud and get links to that music on the other platforms.

Hi, Jason. I’ve tried three different links (coming from Apple Music), and it failed each and every time, pointing to other artists or tunes. I like the idea. Too bad it doesn’t work, because I don’t have Spotify.

Same here Frank

https://album.link and https://song.link do this job really well, I’ve been using them to translate links between music services for years. Same service on the back end, but those URLs could not be easier to remember.

Very cool! Thanks so much for the links, Chris.

I use Tune My Music to do this for playlists. If you subscribe (I don't), it will even keep them updated across platforms.

It seems to find existing playlists on other services, rather than create them if they don't exist. Useful for popular playlists, I'd expect. I haven't found matches on YouTube music (my music service) for David Byrne's monthly playlists from https://davidbyrne.com/radio which public on Spotify and Apple Music only.

Wow, for me not only doesn't it work but it doesn't work in a very obviously wrong way. I pasted in a Paul Desmond song (https://music.apple.com/us/album/that-old-feeling/284045030?i=284045034) and instead of a sax legend just killing it in 1965, Spotify gave me a single called Joana by a German singer named Peter Wackel from 2007.
