Easily share music with friends that use other platforms :)

Bard's Gossip

Bard's Gossip's goal is to make music sharing as seamless as possible.

Usage

I recommend copying src/bardsgossip.py into a folder in your $PATH.

cp ./src/bardsgossip.py $HOME/.scripts/bin/bardsgossip

Then, you can use bardsgossip to translate music links.

$ bardsgossip --apple-music "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQw4w9WgXcQ"
# https://music.apple.com/US/album/never-gonna-give-you-up/1478168215?i=1478168518&app=music

You can also copy and/or open the link.

$ bardsgossip --copy --silent --apple-music "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQw4w9WgXcQ"
$ pbpaste # xsel --clipboard --output
# https://music.apple.com/US/album/never-gonna-give-you-up/1478168215?i=1478168518&app=music
$
$ bardsgossip --open --silent --apple-music "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQw4w9WgXcQ"
# open "https://music.apple.com/US/album/never-gonna-give-you-up/1478168215?i=1478168518&app=music"

Convert your music links to other music services

positional arguments:
  url              The URL of the song you want to convert
  x-callback-url   Optional: URI for x-callback-url

optional arguments:
  -h, --help       show this help message and exit
  --paste          Paste the link to the clipboard. Still requires url, this is used to get around Shortcut limitations.
  --open           Open the link in a browser
  --copy           Copy the link to your clipboard
  --silent         Don't print the link

  --napster        Get the Napster link

Siri Shortcuts

Example shortcut to: Copy Spotify Link. Shortcut file also attached to the latest release.

This uses the Pythonista3 app to execute the python code. You must add bardsgossip.py to the Pythonista3 app.

Example deeplink Pythonisa3 URL to open in the shortcut:

pythonista3://iCloud/Shortcuts/bardsgossip.py?action=run&argv=--paste&argv=--copy&argv=--silent&argv=--spotify&argv=place_holder

I highly recommend using the --paste option to get around Shortcut limitations that prevents sending Apple Music links. Otherwise it is the same as running it directly. However, to add additional arguments use &argv=ARGUMENT until you reach the last argument, with a placeholder for the expected url input if using --paste.
