TuneLink: Easily Convert Music Links Between Spotify and Apple Music

A friend sends you a Spotify link. You’re an Apple Music subscriber. You tap it, Spotify opens (or the App Store depending no your setup), and now you’re searching for the song manually. Or someone in a group chat drops an Apple Music link and half the group can’t use it. It’s a small friction, but it happens (at least in my group chats).

TuneLink fixes this. Share a link from one service, get the equivalent on the other and it’s automatically added to your clipboard.

Episode 8 – Finale

When I started the podcast at the beginning of the year, I’d planned to do it for at least a year. But some seriously good things have come up since January – namely that our family is growing 🙂 – and I’m all for priorities.

Episode 6 – PHP, UI, UX, A11Y, APIs (Oh My)

Regarding the podcast, two of the best things that’ve happened since the previous episode is that the number of questions is steadily increasing and people are saying they appreciate the length of the show.

So that’s good stuff, as far as I’m concerned.

Anyway, if you’ve previously subscribed to the show, then this episode should be available in your favorite app or service.

With that, here are the notes for this episode.
