** Featured on MacStories, 9to5Mac, MacMagazine & more! ** MusicSmart shows credits and additional details for albums and songs available in your Apple Music, Spotify, or local music library. Discover who makes your favorite songs, from writers and producers to engineers and other collaborators. Go further with details about the artist, popular songs from the album's collaborators, samples, interpolations and remixes used, and movies/TV shows in which they participated. MusicSmart integrates with your music library* and gathers music knowledge from different sources, aggregating them into an easy-to-use app. It also offers a handy Action Extension on iOS and iPadOS that you can use from the Music app to read the details about the currently playing song. You can also use Shazam to see the liner notes of songs playing around you. Available details for albums: • Album cover in high-resolution (3000x3000) • Release date and the list of genres • Whether it is an Apple Digital Masters or not • Record label and copyright info • Editorial notes from the Apple Music team • Links to reviews of the album on Metacritic, Pitchfork, and AllMusic Available details for songs: • Notes with the meaning, trivia, and interesting facts • Writers • Engineers • Producers • Vocals • Video directors and more • Which songs does it use as a sample • Which songs have used this song as a sample • Interpolations • Remixes • Music videos • Live performances • And more Available details for artists: • Name and AKAs • Profile picture • The list of popular songs • The list of movies and TV shows it appeared on • Links to social media profiles • Bio * MusicSmart supports your local music library, Apple Music, or Spotify account. You can use it as long as your music library is accessible via the Music app. No Apple Music or Spotify subscription is required. ** The amount of information available for each album and song depends on the data sources used by MusicSmart. Certain musical genres, such as Jazz and Classical, may not have many details available. *** The Action Extension only works with albums and songs from Apple Music at the moment. But you can use the main app to get the same details about your local, non-Apple Music albums and Spotify albums.
What’s New

    Disappointed
    I bought the app specifically because advertising claimed it would allow me to see album liner notes for content in my Apple Music library. I see artwork, track listing and links to reviews, but no liner notes. Show more

    Terrible
    Bought this for liner notes. Doesn’t show recent releases. None.

    Thank You So Much!
    This app is fantastic. I use it all the time to find liner notes on the fly for songs I'm listening to. I do love Tidal's credits, but this app really fills in the gap when I'm using Apple Music. Thank you for making this app! Show more

    A Must Have
    This app adds essential music metadata to Apple Music for artist/producer discovery. One of the more essential apps I have on my phone. Hats off to the dev.

    Does not work as claimed on OSX Monterey
    No share extension that I could find on OSX No supported shortcut on OSX. Does not offer a help utility. Seems that it is primarily focused on IOS.

    More info about certain tracks
    The developers of this app are doing a great job already, but they could be doing an even better job by including information about songs taken and sourced from songfacts.com. I think this would attract more people to your app and leave you many more positive reviews. Just saying. It would definitely make me happy. Show more

    A helpful utility, with two caveats
    I’ve only occasionally dipped into this app for detailed information regarding my music, so I haven’t fully explored all the nooks and crannies. At this point, I can recommend the app, but I have to mention two frustrations. #1 may be outside the developer’s control, but it’s still annoying: Not all albums featuring MusicSmart data include the same categories of data or even much data at all; some feature extensive lists of performers/producers/engineers, etc., while others simply present songwriter credits. I’m sure this is based on what’s available, but I’d like to see both greater detail and greater consistency. #2 is more frustrating for me: Before you can read liner notes or view MusicSmart data for an album, that album must be in your library. I realize it doesn’t require much effort to add a title via Apple Music, but it’s a hurdle that feels unnecessary. If I’m shopping for physical music, I’d be able to read the liner notes on the back of an LP or, perhaps, maybe even on a CD; why can’t I access information regardless of whether a title is in my personal library or not? That information could help me decide whether to stream, add in Apple Music, or purchase new music. Show more

    FANTASTIC!!!!
    I have always been interested in the history of music releases and the artists. While Apple Music has good info it is incomplete. I have had the Discog app loaded for years to fill in the holes. This app integrates not only Discogs but several other music databases. If you have Apple music this app is almost a mandatory companion. Show more

    Well done app
    This app fills a giant hole that I'd have expected more music organizing apps to do - have fun and interesting information about songs and artists. The seach process is quick and easy. One piece of information missing that I'd have liked to see is the album(s) the track appears on, but this is minor. The only thing I hoped this app would be able to do is integrate with the Music app to automatically display info for the song that's playing. Maybe that's too much to ask, but it still enhances and makes the music streaming experience more enjoyable. Show more
