YouTube Music Get Song and Album Options

YouTube Music has begun adding a long overdue function with the ability to check song and album credits when listening to your favourite music.

Matteventu's post on YouTube Music shows that some are already starting to see a View song credits option when accessing the overflow menu on the app.

The function has long since been a feature of many other streaming services such as Tidal. Although Tidal offers sound and mixing engineer information with appropriate credit.

However, somewhat disappointingly the way that song credits are displayed on YouTube Music differs quite drastically from services like Tidal with far fewer data points.

YouTube shows data about your music such as who the song is Performed by, Written by, Produced by, and where the music metadata was sourced.

In the function, the streaming service also includes reviews and critics’ awards within an Info panel if the track or album has received those too .
