Details
The author, a 17-year-old, often uses ChatGPT to generate playlists but found it tedious to search for and add each song individually to music apps. Existing playlist transfer tools typically require logging in with a Spotify account or paying for a subscription, which the author found inconvenient. So they built PlaylistBridge, a static site hosted on Netlify that uses a hybrid approach. It leverages the iTunes API to quickly fetch song metadata and then generates shareable links that open directly in the user's preferred music app (Spotify, YouTube Music, or YouTube) without requiring any logins or backend infrastructure.
