I miss Songwhip as well. We used to have a bot in our music sharing Discord channel that looks for links to any streaming platform and convert them to Songwhip links via the Songwhip API. The good thing about Tidal is that, like Songwhip, it provides you with a list of links to various streaming platforms when you're not logged in.

Wish it had been open sourced, it worked so well. Or even better, if Bandcamp offered an API, so sites likes SW wouldn’t need to (probably) scrape that information.

Can’t confirm, it’s worse than spotify for me, as I get an unclosable modal that asks me to sign up or login.

Try this link https://tidal.com/browse/track/18835695/u, for me it shows a list of links to other services: https://imgur.com/a/MEsaIZw

Yeah, this one does, I guess you have to create a special link? Or is it only for tracks?

It was such a beautiful ui and ux , elegant really. It’s a shame yet I wonder how could it have been profitable. There’s really not a whole lot to monetize unless I’m missing something.

Songwhip allowed artists to claim and customize their page for a fee. Back then I looked into why Songwhip closed but couldn't find a definitive answer. I found a Reddit post where the original creator shared their site many years ago, so it looks like Songwhip started as a personal project. When it closed down though that decision was made by Sony. So it seems like the original creator got bought out by Sony and then Sony decided to close the service. Just speculation though.
