Share a song once. Friends open it in Apple Music or Spotify. Audolio is for the tiny but very real friendship problem of “I love this song, but you use the other music app.” It turns an Apple Music or Spotify song link into one clean Audolio link, with artwork included for everyone, so friends can open the same track in the service they actually use. A song from a late-night drive. A track that says “this is so you.” The chorus everyone needs to hear right now. Audolio keeps those moments easy to share. No copying the title, switching apps, searching, guessing which version matched, and hoping you found the right one. Why people use Audolio: - Share songs across Apple Music and Spotify - Open received songs in your preferred music app - Use the iOS Share Sheet from Apple Music or Spotify - Paste a song link directly into Audolio and get a match in your music app - Share links with artwork included for everyone - Keep a private history of sent and received songs - Re-share a recommendation when the group chat asks for it again - Choose your preferred service once and change it later - No Audolio account required - No contacts, phone numbers, emails, IDs, or message-thread metadata Audolio Plus is for people who share a lot. Plus removes Audolio’s own in-app developer ads and keeps heavy sharing smoother with more visible history, auto-open for your preferred service, and priority retry for stubborn matches. Share the song. Keep the feeling. Let your friends listen where they listen. Terms of Use (EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
