Background
- Addsong is a small open-source tool that lets you paste a link to a song (e.g. from YouTube, SoundCloud, or Bandcamp) and have it automatically appear in your Apple Music library, complete with song title, artist name, album info, and cover art.
- It works by fetching metadata from the link's source, then using Apple's MusicKit API (or iTunes Store API) to match and import the track into the user's Apple Music account.
- The project is aimed at people who discover music on platforms outside Apple Music but want to save it directly into their Apple library without manually searching and adding it.
- The creator positions it as a "clone and run" tool for developers and power users; it is not an app store product, so using it requires some technical comfort (Python, terminal, API credentials).
