This is a "FINALLY!" app for me; something that I've talked about for years among friends, former Rdio colleagues, etc.

The soundcloud resolution is hit-or-miss, and I would be interested to see youtube in there, but the "auto-redirect" option is solid; if you managed to figure out a "cookie-dependent embed", where the auto-redirect setting also decides which service's player to embed in Twitter or Discourse, this would be magical.



Yeah Soundcloud has been tough, a lot of things aren't available via the API so I'm trying to scrape their site. I'm hoping to improve Soundcloud support soon.

That's a good idea, I'll investigate some sort of embedding strategy that would support that!


Another thought here, perhaps more urgent than the rest: bandcamp or label site links where available, so that you can also promote buying and supporting artists. E.g. https://www.beatnikapp.com/music/514 should also link to https://bigbigbusiness.bandcamp.com/album/the-beast-you-are


I had the exact same response. FINALLY!

One if those things where I always knew eventually someone would make it, and I'm grateful.


I thought the same thing. Any plans for a similar feature with the iOS share sheet?

e.g. Share this Apple Music song -> Beatnik -> send to friend with Spotify


Mobile is definitely on the roadmap!
