Music Info — Song Metadata 1.6

Music Info provides the ability to access detailed information about songs in your library, such as play count, skip count, release date, date added, album artist, composer, genre, comments, lyrics, and more.

According to iMore, while Apple's Music app on macOS offers extensive song details, the iOS version lacks this functionality. However, Music Info steps in to bridge this gap.

Upon launching Music Info, users are greeted with a sleek and contemporary interface that is both user-friendly and efficient. The app seamlessly syncs with the Music app on iOS, displaying real-time information about the currently playing song and automatically updating as tracks change. Users can navigate through their music library to select songs and view metadata or utilize the share sheet in the Music app to access song details directly — making it a valuable feature that was previously missing from Apple's Music app.

With the latest update for iOS 17, users can now add the Now Playing widget to their Home Screen, offering quick access to information about the currently playing song in the Music app. Customization options allow users to tailor which song properties are visible. Moreover, the widget is compatible with StandBy on iPhone and the iPad Lock Screen.

Additional features of Music Info include the ability to drag and drop songs from Apple Music to view information, utilize Music Recognition powered by Shazam to look up song details, play selected songs within the app itself, copy information by tapping and holding text, explore lyrics by selecting words for translation or sharing, share artwork with other apps effortlessly, and toggle between light and dark modes. The app also offers Home Screen quick actions, App Shortcuts, Keyboard shortcuts, Split view multitasking with multiple windows on iPadOS, and comprehensive accessibility support including Dynamic Type, VoiceOver and Voice Control — all devoid of ads, tracking mechanisms or subscription requirements.

Operational Insight:

• The Metadata compatibility of Music Info serves as a gateway to unlocking hidden details saved by the Music app for each song in a user's library.
• All songs stored via various methods including Apple Music subscriptions, purchases or uploads are accessible within the Music Info platform. Songs available solely on Apple Music may have limited available details.
• The share sheet feature enables users to access more information about songs within their library by cross-referencing against Apple Music; however, discrepancies may occur and might require an internet connection for resolution. Offline access to song data remains feasible even in cases where proper identification is impeded due to renaming or similar issues.

Key Considerations:

• Edit functionality for song metadata is not supported on iOS and iPadOS through Music Info.
• Music Info exclusively functions with Apple's native music services and does not integrate with third-party providers
• Lyrical content needs to be added through the Music or iTunes apps on Mac or PC respectively.
