  1. @bram imho not really. It relies too much on a single centralised database, rather than an open standard.
    With #SongLink you have a song.link url with a numerical identifier that you need to use to first use their platform to find the platform of your choice, rather than a universal URI can can directly be opened and understood by your preferred service.
    So, if SongLink fails, your lookup fails.

    This is exactly what happened to #SongWhip, which imho had nicer URLs and easier lookup methods and didn't require sign-up, and why now links like songwhip.com/freedom-call/meta that I used to use in my #MusicFiXatoListensTo or #NowPlaying posts, are now useless dead links.
    Ideally we'd have a platform agnostic link like music://artist/song or music://artist/album/song that handles artists with the same name, multiple album releases, and various song versions well enough, and supports not only music but all sorts of media. Bonus points for typo resolution and canonical url redirects, and fallbacks for different platforms if your preferred media player doesn't have the track available.

  2. I‘m not happy that Songwhip is no more. It was so nice for providing links for music to a whole list of platforms, so that everyone got to that song on their preferred platform by two clicks. How I do that now?

  3. Also, this made me find out that #SongWhip no longer is a thing :( I really liked that service for sharing links to other (streaming) platforms with clear legible URLs...

  4. Anyone that knows of a free working alternative to #songwhip?

  5. As a reminder, since Song Whip is gone, Odesli / Songlink is a helpful website that can give you an individualized link to a song or album so when you share it, folks can listen to it on their streaming platform of choice!

    Very handy.

    Here's the link: odesli.co/

  6. I haven't been able to use Songwhip for a while, it seems like some plugin is interfering loading the page but for my life I cannot understand which one. I disabled:
    - Ghostery
    - uBlock
    - Firefox adv. antitracking

    Any suggestion?

  7. So I was prepping to share a song on here, running it through Songwhip so that my trusted readers could pull this cool song on whatever music medium that you enjoy… and Songwhip no longer exists. I was able to use this neat tool exactly one time. Does anyone have a different avenue with which to distribute music this way?

    Until this is rectified, I give you the new Frost* single: Life in the Wires Part 1

  8. #Songwhip is down because it was sold to #Sony! 😱

    Which alternatives do you use?

    Call me stubborn but I don’t want to create a user account.

  9. @Herr_Irrtum #Songlink und #Songwhip sind extrem praktisch, wenn wir im #Fediverse #Music Links teilen wollen, die quasi jede*r sofort hören kann mit dem eigenen Lieblingsdienst. #20songs

    Hier z.B. die tolle Band #LakeStreetDive mit "Rabid Animal"

  10. We're Scheisse ist das denn bitte: #Sony hat #Songwhip gekauft und dicht gemacht. Was für Arschgeigen?!

    Mit Songwhip könnte man Musiklinks erstellen die für alle gängigen Streamingplattformen funktionieren.

    (Ich hätte an dieser Stelle gerne das Album "Ein fragiles System" und "Bipolar Feminin" beworben.)

    Und darum liebe Kinder sollte man coole Infrastruktur lieber als Open Source veröffentlichen.

  11. This is unfortunate. #Songwhip is gone! You get greeted by a blank screen when you go to songwhip.com. Do you have any alternatives? Add it to this thread!

  12. Darkmode #wikipedia has just made the internet objectively better.

    Can anyone recommend some bits of internet that are better than they used to be? Most of it seems to be prone to #enshittification

    Also while i’m at it, on the subject of good internet, is there an alternative to #songwhip seeing as it’s down?

  13. Has potential as songwhip replacement. #OpenSource #songwhip

  14. Anyone also having issues with #Songwhip? Page doesn't load beyond the logo.
  15. Oh man. SongWhip disappeared. That's a big loss.

    "Songwhip services will cease from July 22, 2024" - from songwhip.com/faq/sunset

    Any hints on alternatives?

  16. Anyone know what's happened to #SongWhip ? songwhip.com it used to be good for creating Cross-Service #music links for #NowPlaying and sharing, but today it appears to be out of action.

  17. Ik had de pré-#Songwhip-variant nog! Maar dan moet je als lezer van bovenstaande toot per sé aan de slag met #Spotify, waar niet iedereen op zit te wachten. Maar Songwhip is blijkbaar ineens spontaan overleden.

  18. #l8n8music#nowlistening to Hercules by Beatless
    #downtempo #music
    I’ve only had this on a samples that is not available on #AppleMusic. Thanks to #songWhip I can now add the album it was originally on to my library.

    songwhip.com/beatless/hercules

  19. Fancy that #songwhip is continuing the service. If you share a song or video, pls don't just use invidious or other non-youtube-links, as they might not work for all. Songwhip let the user choose on what platform they want to listen (#Spotify, #AppleMusic, #Youtube etc..)

    songwhip.com

  20. Here's my music:

    songwhip.com/white-town

    I love that I can bung you one link which then has every service my music is on, plus other stuff.

    Well, sadly, #Songwhip is shutting down.

    So, lil tooters, what is the best alternative to Songwhip? I've just gone through a couple of 'BEST ALTERNATIVE' lists and they were obviously generated by drunk AIs. In a coal scuttle. With low batteries. Just awful.

    I'm hoping you ugly bags of mostly water can do better?

  21. Reminded again about Wilson Page’s delightful #Songwhip site that provides free smart links to over a dozen different #music #streaming platforms for artists, albums, and songs

    For example, here’s the one for #ProgressiveRock supergroup #StickMen featuring #KingCrimson alumni #TonyLevin and #PatMastelotto: songwhip.com/stickmen
