Being a music lover is not easy today. With the multiplication of streaming platforms, it’s sometimes difficult to make a choice –– although many elements can help you decide. Worse still, sharing a track can quickly prove to be a nightmare. You use Apple Music and your friend uses Spotify? You’ll have to settle for the good old oral method, as you won’t be able to use the respective apps to send your latest musical discovery.
But that was before. On iPhone, there’s an application that solves this problem very simply, while also adding some well-thought-out features. This application is Now Playing, currently only available on iOS. Thanks to it, you can now share tracks with any of your friends, regardless of the streaming platform they’re on.
Now Playing Solves the Most Annoying Problem of Music Streaming Platforms
To do this, you simply need to search for the track within the application, then click on the Share button. Now Playing will then generate a link that you can send via the messaging app of your choice. By clicking on it, the recipient will automatically open the application on their smartphone. If, on the other hand, Now Playing is not installed on their device, the link will open a web page where they can choose the streaming application of their choice to listen to the track.
The supported streaming services are Apple Music, Spotify, Deezer, Tidal, and YouTube Music. Furthermore, Now Playing also integrates other interesting features. Originally, the application primarily serves to obtain additional information and juicy details about the song we’re listening to. Like Shazam, it also allows you to recognize music that is played around us, and offers to discover new tracks that we might enjoy. However, be aware that some features are paid.
