So I am also giving up Spotify, and have been going through my youtube playlist on Newpipe and downloading songs from there. But I also was upset about the loss of playlists and making them, since 8tracks is also gone now and was thinking of how to make an open source place for playlist sharing and I might have an idea, but by far not even close to being technically able to build it. Basically, you download or visit website and have access to playlists with track, artist, year, all that fun stuff, and link it to your personal collection so it can autoplay what you have and skip what you don’t. How you get the missing songs is up to you, as the site won’t host any music files, so it isn’t liable for sharing non-cc or public works, but you can still have some kind of social playlist sharing outside of just publishing track playlists…kinda got off topic, but spotify did make me start thinking this
Tomahawk is basically a player for music metadata. At its core it decouples the metadata about a song from the source and reassembles it for each user based on their individual music accessibility and rights. In short, given the name of a song and artist, Tomahawk will find the right source, for the right user at the right time.

Excellent idea! 👍
If I remember correctly, this idea was nicely Implemented in the Tomahawk music player which unfortunately is now abandoned. https://github.com/tomahawk-player/tomahawk

Ohh! I’ll have to look into that and maybe try reviving it (when I know more coding) thank you!!
