    I use this service to send links to my friends for new music, as we all use various services, super useful: album.link.

    You can do a search by name/album/song, or throw any link from any service and it will generate a page with links to all the major services.

    Here is Savant's fantastic album Alchemist

    Or the new Deftones album.

      was just going to post this! it’s also great for embedding on websites so you don’t make the visitor have to figure out how to listen or login.

    What I like about TIDAL, is that it does this automatically when you share. The share link takes you to a little link tree thing. Ie https://tidal.com/browse/track/423761216?u

    While the idea is cool, the way it does it is not perfect: it use the searches APIs in each platform. And I already know the search API for deezer is way off (not really the fault of this tool)....

    And I already know the search API for deezer is way off (not really the fault of this tool).

    For example this album https://open.spotify.com/album/4XdfTlDISHha9aMrxMXGGn

    For this one in particular what I would propose would not work either, but I think for older release it might be a better fallback:

    Using musicbrainz you could use the links added in each release corresponding to the one found on spotify for example: https://musicbrainz.org/release/270f378f-cc13-4c70-9615-cf50e2c7bd83.
    But it maybe depends on two unsolvable things:

    • That spotify has somewhere the musicbrainz link to the release, if not kinda screwed to be sure of finding the correct release. I think deezer has it, because of its native connection to last.fm, that also uses the musicbrainz id to link scrobble listens to artists and albums.
    • That the community on musicbrainz creating these external links for each release.

    Didn’t work for me, but it’s a neat idea.

        I’m generally a fan of things on the internet that consolidate the same “entities”. It feels like a polite affront to our abundance of walled gardens.

          The placeholder is indeed an HTML placeholder, not the actual value of the input. It really looks like it and made the same mistake as you. The creator should add a required attribute to the input...
