Squigly.link – Universal Music Links

https://squigly.link
2•LiamMac•2h ago

LiamMac•2h ago
I built Squigly (https://squigly.link) after getting fed up with how cumbersome sharing music links became when I switched from Spotify to Apple Music. Existing solutions such as song.link, feature.fm etc are simply not accurate enough. I've no idea why they don't use LLMs to improve accuracy, but here we are...

Squigly is entirely free and doesn’t require an account. You paste a link from Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube Music, or Bandcamp, and it generates a universal link. Under the hood, if a straightforward match doesn't exist, Squigly uses progressive search combined with LLMs to significantly improve matching accuracy (I really hope song transfer services start implementing similar approaches - currently, they suck).

If you use iOS, there's also a neat shortcut: https://www.icloud.com/shortcuts/1a49b44db35749ecb7f3334b94a...

Hope someone finds this useful! Currently no plans to monetise.

Youtube links didn't work. Try https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4wXiV9Bm16A

Only YouTube Music links will currently work. You make a good point, though, and I'll add regular YouTube as an integration as it's effectively the same thing.

So you know I have a real use case. I print 'music cards' with QR codes

https://mastodon.social/@UP8/114983568330954850

and found people were usually disappointed if I sent them went straight to YouTube (shouldn't be for [1] or [2] but really good videos are rare) so I redirected the cards I made to songwhip for the most part, but then songwhip turned off the form to make new links.

It's been a while since I've made music cards but I want to make a new series of cards that are square or nearly square (maybe even high quality 8.5"x8.5" squares) with alpha blended QR codes like that one with the cat and I'm looking for a songwhip replacement.

Interesting use-case. I can probably help you out with this.
