This is probably a dumb question but what is a better way to send a link to a song to friends without using Spotify? I don’t use Spotify anymore so I don’t like going back to that website just to copy a song link so people could hear it. I know I could send something like a YouTube link but I’m trying to degoogle so I wanted to see if there was an alternative? Can you send songs as last.fm links? Idk I just randomly thought about this and wanted to ask if I’m being weird or something Thanks in advance

(Edited to fix typo)

Don’t listen to these guys, there’s a really easy solution:

  1. Set you voice mail greeting to the song you want to share
  2. Share your phone number with your group or post it online to the folks you want to share the song with
  3. Don’t answer your phone for a few days

Can the device be turned off to give it a rest or does it need to be running all the time? I dont know if my dad is still going to use our pi3 for games (and i know i dont need anymore computers rn either)… maybe i could run it on my laptop? But i use it for school… I gotta think about it. In the meantime, do you have any guides that can reduce the time to learn?

There’s a self-hosting Community here: !selfhosted@lemmy.world

But for a pretty easy and low cost way to get started you can’t go wrong with yunohost - it has lots of music server apps such as funkwhale, amapache etc.

I know I’m middle aged but … MP3s? A few megabytes isn’t that much these days.

I haven’t touched an MP3 file for years. Everything’s streamed.

I still touch MP3 because it is compact and we need everything to be stored locally.

I just didn’t want to look weird/sus plus mp3s don’t always do a preview thing in discord (I know, I’m trying to switch to matrix) so sometimes it makes you download the file But yeah I guess I can just send the file

I’m curious about this too, but more for for sharing long, self-made playlists. A single song is not too bad to send or find on YouTube but a playlist is difficult
