Why Amazon Music links don't open in Spotify
An Amazon Music link points at Amazon's own catalog. On a phone without Amazon Music it opens a web player that asks the person to sign in to Amazon, and Spotify never sees it. Your Spotify friend ends up searching for the song by name, if they bother at all.
JamShare reads the Amazon Music link, matches the same recording on Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube Music and the rest, and gives you one link that opens wherever each person listens.
Share from the app you pay for. Let the link find the app they pay for.
Which Amazon Music links work
Song, album and playlist links from music.amazon.com and its regional sites (.co.uk, .de, .co.jp and more) all work, as do Amazon short links like amzn.to that lead to Amazon Music. Your own playlists work when they're set to public.
Artist pages, podcasts and audiobooks aren't converted, because there's no single matching item to open on Spotify.
