How to Share Music on YouTube and Spotify?

In today’s digital age, sharing music has never been easier, thanks to platforms like YouTube and Spotify. Whether you're an artist looking to promote your latest track or just a music enthusiast wanting to share your favorite songs with friends, knowing how to use YouTube music share links and retrieve Spotify song URIs is essential. In this article, we will guide you through both processes step-by-step.

1. YouTube Music Share Link

YouTube Music is a popular streaming service where users can listen to and share their favorite music videos and tracks. Sharing a music link from YouTube allows your audience to easily access the specific content you're recommending.

Steps to Share a Link from YouTube Music:

  1. Open the YouTube Music app or website and navigate to the song or video you want to share.
  2. Click on the Share button typically found beneath the video player.
  3. A dialog box will appear with various sharing options, including Copy Link, which allows you to copy the URL to your clipboard, or share directly through social media platforms.
  4. Paste the link wherever you want to share it, such as on social media, messaging apps, or emails.

2. How to Get Spotify Song URIs

Spotify URIs (Uniform Resource Identifiers) are unique codes assigned to every song, album, and playlist on Spotify. These URIs can be particularly useful for developers, playlist curators, and anyone involved in detailed music promotion. By using URIs, you can ensure that there is no confusion about the exact song or album you’re referring to.

Steps to Get Spotify URIs on Desktop:

  1. Open the Spotify desktop app and log in to your account.
  2. Navigate to the song, album, or playlist you want the URI for.
  3. Click the three dots next to the song, album, or playlist and select Share.
  4. From the submenu, select Copy Spotify URI. The URI will be copied to your clipboard.

Steps to Get Spotify URIs on Mobile:

  1. Open the Spotify app on your mobile device.
  2. Navigate to the song, album, or playlist of interest.
  3. Tap the three dots next to the song, album, or playlist.
  4. Select Share and then choose Copy Link. Note that Spotify mobile apps do not directly provide URIs. However, you can convert a Spotify link to a URI by replacing https://open.spotify.com/track/ with spotify:track:.

Here is an example of a Spotify URI:
