How should I link to music so that anyone can open it?

Reef@lemmy.ca to No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world – 54 points –

I want to post about the songs that I am listening to, but in a way that everyone can open it regardless of what they are using. Is there a good way to do that? A website that generates links for the popular streaming platforms?

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.
