It's not FOSS afaik, but it's free and works really well: https://www.tunemymusic.com/
It's actually very very cool, the closest to what I imagined. Yeah sadly it doesn't seem to be FOSS
The main difference with my "idea" is that this one creates a copy of the playlist on each service, so if you want to share it you need to know which player the other person is going to use, or just send him all the links. My idea instead has just a single playlist, accessible with API that can be used by every music player
thanks for sharing this!
With your idea, does the service (eg yt music, Spotify) have to specifically support the API?
Yes, it's like a common "protocol". Probably huge music apps like youtube and spotify would never adopt such a thing unless it become really really widespread among other platforms, but just being able to share them across FOSS music players would be amazing imo
Maybe even FOSS wrappers for the big services. Such as https://github.com/th-ch/youtube-music/
