LinkTune is a Python command line tool that allows users to convert music links between music streaming services and perform simple song searches across these platforms. Created to facilitate easy music sharing between people using different music services.
LinkTune currently supports these music services:
- Spotify
- Apple Music
- YouTube Music
- Tidal
- Deezer
LinkTune provides two commands: convert and search.
The convert command allows you to convert a music link from one streaming service to another.
Syntax:
linktune convert <source_url> <destination_service>
where <source_url> is the link to be converted and <destination_service> is the streaming service you'd like to generate the link for.
For example, to convert a Spotify link to a Tidal link:
linktune convert https://open.spotify.com/track/3pUlXJnQx66IitZVn8Lcki tidal
Will return:
Diazepam by Ren
Tidal: http://www.tidal.com/track/256813274
When omitting the <destination_service>, LinkTune will convert the song to all other supported services:
linktune convert https://open.spotify.com/track/4s8uPDOuyjoO6Rmn7Armjc?si=1aea64a79baf406b

The search command allows you to search for a track across multiple music services. Omitting --service will return the track on all services.
Syntax:
linktune search --artist <artist> --title <title> --service <service>
or use shorthand options, e.g.:
linktune search -a ren -t diazepam -s apple

Apple Music: https://music.apple.com/us/album/diazepam/1652019136?i=1652019316&uo=4
You may optionally include an --album or -al flag, e.g.:
linktune search -a eminem -t mockingbird -al 'curtain call'

pip install linktune
This app uses the Spotify API, which requires the use of a Spotify client ID and client secret to authenticate API requests. You can generate these for free by creating a Spotify account and navigating to the Spotify developer dashboard.
You can then set your local environment variables for SPOTIPY_CLIENT_ID and SPOTIPY_CLIENT_SECRET as follows:
export SPOTIPY_CLIENT_ID=<your_client_id>
export SPOTIPY_CLIENT_SECRET=<your_client_secret>
You can now run the commands described above.
