The example placeholder needs to be a little darker to make it look more like an example. I agree, they could extend the sentence on the title screen to say something like "to start finding music titles across your favorite streaming services." I had no idea what the service was until I read the comments, I just assumed it was something to do with not liking Spotify

Do you have spotify? I'm wondering if it's the people who don't have spotify who "lean" to a certain initial interpretation that is colored by previous experience (especially in having to utter the phrase to someone). If so, it make the naming kind of apt.

  I do have Spotify, but I've never known Spotify to have more music than other streaming services apart from its infancy when there wasn't the level of competition as there is now. In fact I thought Apple music now had the greater number of songs in comparison.

    I don’t understand what “more music” (“more songs”) means in this context or why it’s relevant. Edit: I think you’re misinterpreting the use of this tool. It’s not to find tracks across your music services. It’s for when people share links from Spotify but you subscribe to a different streaming service. Spotify has the largest market share (and probably outsized in certain geographic areas) so being on a “minority” streamer requires something like this. You’re not entering an artist name or track. You’re inputting the link.

      I don't think I'm misinterpreting, we're saying the same thing. It helps you find tracks or artists across music services based on the link provided from one streaming service. I also don't see why someone can't just say the artist name and/or song name, rather than sending a link or asking "Do you have Spotify", then putting it through "I don't have Spotify" when you could just search it. Someone could just say "Hey listen to the new song by xxx"

        > "to start finding music titles across your favorite streaming services" But it isn’t this… so I don’t think we are saying the same thing. As for someone saying the name etc: you’re missing how people can converse now with multiple chats. People aren’t going to ask what service one has. And they aren’t going to write out a full artist name and title and or album etc. And people share tracks as a sort of metaphor and context specific addition - like a type of slang or colour to conversation. To discuss or address the meta aspects of the track by either party derails the conversation. It’s about understanding the changing nature of communication and how different cultures and generations are doing it.
