Music Info — Song Metadata

Jordan Hipwell

Music Info allows you to view information about songs in your library, including play count, skip count, release date, date added, album artist, composer, genre, year, comments, lyrics, and more.* "Apple's Music app on macOS surfaces all kinds of information about the songs you're listening to … But for reasons unknown, that isn't the case with the iOS version of Music. But as Apple likes to say, there's an app for that." —iMore Convenient ways to view info Open the app to see the song that’s currently playing in the Music app, and it will automatically update when the song changes Select a song from your library Look up a song using Music Recognition powered by Shazam Drag and drop a song from Music into the app Get info directly in the Music app from the share sheet — yes, this app adds the missing Get Info button!

Music Info reveals this information that otherwise isn’t accessible on iPhone and iPad. All songs in your library can be accessed in the Music Info app, no matter if they were added via Apple Music, purchased, matched, uploaded, or otherwise synced to your device. Songs in Apple Music that haven’t been added to your library have limited information available. The share sheet action is available when sharing a song in the Music app. Note that only songs that are available on Apple Music can be shared. Music Info will try to look up that song in your library which may require an internet connection. It’s possible it may not be able to find the right song, for example, if you’ve renamed it. If that is the case, you can still use the app to access its information even without an internet connection.
