Does anyone know of alternative web front ends (like nitter for xitter or invidious for youtube) that allows playlists from #Spotify to be played without directing people to Spotify?
We've got a list of songs we'd like to share with newsletter readers that are all available on Spotify but are otherwise spread across various services. No way we could afford rights to them ourselves, but don't really want to push plays into Spotify.
#AlternativeFrontEnds
Although I've had no response to this, I've worked out something like a solution. #Spotube got me the playlist locally, and it's #songlink facility meant I could go through each track and collate their availability across streaming and purchase providers.
I managed to find all the tracks on #Deezer, so got an embedded playlist working through that service.
Seems to be disagreement online about the relative levels of payment to artists, but at least it's allowing me to #BoycottSpotify
@alyn You can use YouTube for making playlists, and people viewing it in web browsers don't even have to deal with commercials (assuming they've got Ublock installed).
YT also has the advantage that you can upload any tracks you have but can't find already there, and they'll take care of any copyright issues.
@alyn Not sure if it helps at all but I often use the one linked in Deezer tunemymusic to convert Spotify playlists when people share them, to either Deezer playlists or plaintext files (this is so i don't loose any tracks if they aren't found/matched on Deezer).
@welshtroll Ah cool, thank you. I didn't know about this. So it was possible to do through a service in 30 seconds what I did manually in 30 minutes! Ho Hum 
@alyn All a learning experience :D
