I hope you’re all enjoying discovering and sharing amazing cover songs here.

For a while now, I’ve been using SongWhip to share links. It’s been a useful tool to consolidate links from different platforms into one landing page.

But here’s something I’ve been pondering for a bit, and now it’s time to bring it to the table for your thoughts:

I’ve noticed (and some of you have pointed out) that getting to the actual song via SongWhip can feel like a bit of a journey – click the post link, navigate the landing page, and sometimes even click “Open in app”.

So, here’s where I need your input:

👍 Upvote this post if you think we should continue using SongWhip. It’s a great way to access songs across multiple platforms from one link.

👎 Downvote if you believe we should stop using SongWhip and share songs directly.

I’ll run this poll for a week (ending on Jan. 24th). The majority’s preference will guide the next steps. Also, feel free to drop any suggestions or alternatives in the comments.

Looking forward to your votes and comments, forty2

    I have no strong feelings about SongWhip. When I see a SW link, I make a beeline to the Youtube button because that’s where I prefer to hear these songs, but I also understand some people would like to have Spotify/Apple music links.

    So even though I get no real use from it, I don’t really find it annoying or anything. It’s one extra click, but I’ll live.

    Little late to this discussion but I like Songwhip if only because I don’t want to contribute directly to YouTube if fellow listeners have other options available to them. I was using Yewtube and Piped until recently but both platforms seemed to be giving me issues in the past couple weeks.
