Introducing Music Sharity 1.0.0
I'm excited to announce the first release of Music Sharity – a cross-platform app that converts music links between different streaming services instantly!
What is Music Sharity?
Music Sharity is a free and open-source app that lets you share music across different streaming platforms effortlessly. No more copy-pasting song titles or manually searching on different services!
Why does this exist?
Picture this: You discover an amazing song on Spotify and want to share it with a friend. But they use Apple Music. Your options?
- ❌ Send them just the title and artist (boring)
- ❌ Open Apple Music, search manually, copy the link (exhausting)
- ✅ Use Music Sharity – instant conversion! 🎉
What can you share?
Currently, Music Sharity supports:
- Tracks (individual songs)
- Albums (including EPs and singles)
Playlists are not supported as they're platform-specific and don't convert well across services.
Supported Streaming Platforms
Music Sharity currently works with the top 5 streaming platforms:
| Platform | Market Share | Support Level |
|---|---|---|
| Spotify | 31% | ✅ Direct API |
| Apple Music | 15% | ✅ Via Odesli |
| Deezer | 2% | ✅ Direct API |
| YouTube Music | 8% | ✅ Via Odesli |
| Tidal | 1% | ✅ Via Odesli |
For this first version, I focused on the most popular platforms. More platforms could be added in the future, depending on API availability and community interest!
How can I get Music Sharity?
Music Sharity is currently available on Android and Windows only. iOS, macOS, and Linux builds are functional but not officially maintained due to hardware limitations. Community contributions are welcome!
Android
- Google Play Store: Coming soon...
- Direct APK: Download from the GitHub Releases page
Windows
- Coming soon... (build optimization in progress)
How does it work?
Music Sharity uses the ISRC (International Standard Recording Code) – a unique identifier attached to every track and album, similar to ISBN for books.
The conversion process:
- Extract the ISRC from the source platform
- Search for it on the destination platform via API
- Return the converted link (or inform you if not found)
Technical Details
- Direct API integration for Spotify ↔ Deezer (faster, includes metadata)
- Odesli API for Apple Music, YouTube Music, and Tidal (universal compatibility)
- No data collection – Everything happens on your device
- Open source – Check out the code on GitHub!
Features
- 🎵 Convert between 5 platforms
- 📀 Support for tracks and albums

Why "Music Sharity"?
The name is a blend of:
- Music (obvious, I hope! 😄)
- Share + Charity = Sharity
The idea is to share music across platforms in the spirit of generosity and openness.
