Tidal has found the right way to share music with friends.
Instead of sharing a Tidal-specific song link with friends, now you can let them choose the service they want to open it with — whether it’s Spotify, Apple Music, or Amazon Music. Tidal is rolling out universal links today, and you can see how it looks in the screenshot below.
No, the right way is sharing an mp3 file.
Nice, now I just need to find a way to get people to actually like my music recommendations 🤔
That’s easy, get better taste
My taste is impeccable. Everyone else is wrong.

Just learned about this in a chatroom today and it’s perfect. Now I don’t have to choose between excluding people with a Spotify link or subjecting them to YouTube ads.
Between this, Tidal’s elimination of MQA, their recent pricing decisions, and Spotify littering their app with podcasts and now learning videos, I’ve never been happier with my music service. Thanks, Tidal
I’ve been using Songwhip.com for this purpose. It’s an extra step but worth it if you want to make it easy for a group to listen.

Is this a self hosted thing or what? This is how I want to share music. I am typically generating public links or dumping copies of songs in a folder that’s preshared with a friend. It works, but I like what’s going on in this screenshot

My music folder is like ~10GB, so I just have it being synced automatically by Syncthing on all devices.
