The first use case that comes to mind (if this had an API, which I don't think it does), is to easily convert a list of Spotify links into different links that can be downloaded from `yt-dlp`.
Better title: Convert sharing links between music services
I understand it probably comes from the original motivation, but the name seems unfortunate since you can totally use it to convert to Spotify from e.g. iTunes if you do have Spotify but just not one of the dozen competitor subscription services
I use https://song.link (or Odesli). It finds the link to the song on Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube, YouTube Music, Pandora, Deezer, SoundCloud, Tidal, Amazon Music, AudioMack, Anghami, Napster, Yandex and BoomPlay, maybe more.
I feel like if you're going to have an example that presumably works, it should be value instead of placeholder or at least default the request to whatever is in the placeholder input if you click submit.
I have wanted something like this for a long time. My wife uses yt for music and I use Spotify
First problem I have using this in my iPhone is that the url bar is wider than the screen (maybe due to my font?) and I can’t even manage to paste a link into it unless I turn the phone sideways.
The other problem is that the links she sends are google search link which triggers some kind of weird “search” behavior from the browser
This could be awesome but the paste behavior on iPhone is just so terrible
If one is thinking about switching from Apple Music to Spotify, can someone recommend a website to automatically move the song collection? I think it was easier a while ago but then Apple cracked down on it, so I am not sure if there's an automated option now
Took me a while to figure out that "example" link is just a placeholder, and not an actual link to test the service with. Clicking "Search" without any link results in "Something went wrong, please try again later." error message, although more precise error message is returned "Invalid link, please try with Spotify or Youtube links." - it should be displayed instead.
Overall, why not add a sentence or two about what this website actually does?
Even after the fail, I still didn't realize it wasn't an example link and thought that they had made an error in maintaining an outdated or expired one.
I created an app a while ago that would allow converting a link right through the sharing dialog on iOS and Android.
Unfortunately, the app wouldn't show up in the play stores search results even if you searched for its exact name and on iOS the app didn't make it through the review process because it has no UI. So I took it down after a while although I still feel like it's a handy tool if people send you music.
Is there a way to create an always up to date mirror of a curated Spotify Playlist to Apple Music (such as Top Hits of X country?). Apple doesn't have a large selection of dynamically generated playlists
I also don't have spotify. I used to have spotify but it started playing spanish language commercials for no apparent reason and their support wouldn't do anything about it other than inform me that if I paid for an account there would be no commercials. So I started paying for apple music.

They should just use an actual example link!
