Save favorite songs and share a living music collection
You found a great song. Now you want to keep it, send it to a friend, or let someone explore more of your taste. Those are different tasks, and they do not need the same kind of share.
Features and controls can vary by app version and platform. Full-song playback requires Apple Music; regional availability applies.
Keep a song you want to hear again
- While a song is playing in Tinyo, use the heart to save it to your Tinyo favorites.
- Open your collection to revisit saved songs. Tinyo favorites are not the same thing as Apple Music’s own Favorite status.
- Use the same Tinyo account when restoring your collection on another device. Cloud restore requires a connection; music availability still depends on Apple Music.
Saving a track is not the same as saving someone else’s entire collection. A saved collection is a reference to that person’s list; it does not automatically add every song to your own favorites.
In versions with community voting, using the song heart also casts a public vote for that song; removing the heart withdraws that vote. Favorites saved before that feature are not automatically counted as public votes.
Share one song or share your wider taste
For “you need to hear this,” share the individual song from its player. The share card gives it a visual identity; the song link gives the recipient a way to open the music. A picture alone cannot play a full track.
For “here is what I have been listening to,” share your Tinyo favorites collection. It is a living list rather than a frozen copy: changes to the owner’s favorites can change what listeners see. The shared collection opens in Tinyo; the browser landing page does not display the full collection.
Apple Music also supports playlist sharing. Tinyo’s collection links serve a different purpose: sharing your Tinyo favorites and letting other Tinyo listeners save a reference to that changing collection.
Choose visibility before sharing
Tinyo favorites collections are public by default. Review the visibility control in your profile before sharing; choose Private if you do not want others browsing the list. A private list cannot be made readable just by forwarding its old link.
Making a collection private does not remove a picture someone has already saved or a post you made in another app. Your public profile name and avatar can remain visible even when the collection is private. Share only the music and context you are comfortable making public.
Why a social app may accept the image but not the link
Receiving apps decide which share formats they support. A messenger, a social feed and a photo app can treat the same share differently. Do not assume that a link will become clickable just because it appears next to an image.
Check the recipient app’s composer before posting. If it only accepts a picture, a card’s QR code can provide another way to reach the song. If a browser preview is unavailable in the recipient’s region, the link is not a guarantee of playback. Full songs still require the appropriate Apple Music access.
