## What is Music Info?

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."

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!
-- Add the widget to view info about the song currently playing in the Music app, and edit it to customize which song properties are visible — available for your Home Screen, iPad lock screen, CarPlay, and StandBy

More features
-- Reorder or hide information
-- Tap and hold to copy information or artwork
-- Select words in lyrics to look up, translate, copy, or share
-- Play the selected song in the app
-- Light and dark mode
-- App Shortcuts
-- Home Screen quick actions
-- Menu bar, keyboard shortcuts, and multiple windows on iPad
-- No ads, no tracking, no subscriptions

How it works
-- The Music app, like iTunes before it, saves metadata for each song you have in your library. 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.

Things to note
-- Song metadata cannot be edited on iOS and iPadOS
-- You do not need to be an Apple Music subscriber to use the app
-- Music Info does not work with any third-party music services
-- Lyrics must be added to your songs via Music or iTunes on your Mac or PC

### 4/5 — Good app

*2025-12-12*

Nice app tells you the stats you want but only lacks with albums as it doesn’t show album stats I hope that gets added at some point

### 4/5 — Need Files App Support

*2025-12-08*

It doesn’t have the option to access and edit metadata of the music files in Files app.

### 5/5 — You want it darker.

*2025-03-15*

Most poignant for times such as these.  All ye who’ve willingly entered here -abandon all hope.

### 4/5 — Why no Year?

*2025-03-05*

It’s an amazing app I’ve used for years, but the one thing that bugs me is there’s no “Year” section for the song. There is the release date, and date last played, but no year. I upload a lot of local files to my Apple Music and sometimes need to remember what year they are from, but I can’t find an app that shows it.

**Developer response:** I’m happy to let you know the newest version now includes year! You can customize the information shown in Settings. I hope you like it, let me know if so by updating your review!

### 5/5 — Hope it supports Spotify.

*2024-12-31*

Hope it supports Spotify.

### 5/5 — Great app that does exactly what it promises

*2024-11-23*

Such a useful app and worth every penny. Imagine a multi-trillion dollar company utterly incapable of doing the simplest things that would make their product better for consumers (you know—kinds like adding play count visibility to a built-in app that’s been around for over a decade). 

Now imagine a small developer who calmly and instantly solves that problem for $1.99. That is the “Music Info” app, and this is their story.

**Developer response:** Thanks so much for your kind review 🥺

### 5/5 — Lyrics can be seen again

*2024-04-02*

Many generations back the default Music app on iOS was able to display “Custom Lyrics” that a user had added to individual downloaded tracks in their music library. Then, for some reason, Apple took that feature away. The lyrics were still in the songs’ metadata — and could still be viewed in the iTunes app on a Windows or Mac computer — you just couldn’t access them on your mobile device. This app nicely solves this problem (as well as showing all other song metadata as well).

While I expected this app to show the lyrics, I was pleasantly surprised by how well it integrates with the music library. It’s a separate app, not added functionality added to the iOS app like a browser extension. However, when launched it becomes aware of whatever song is being played and cycles through its display to show the metadata  of whatever track is currently being played. Quite nice.

FYI, the app is not a music player and has no ability to edit song metadata. I see no problem with that but it is something to be aware of.

This app gets an unconditional five star from me. I couldn’t be happier.

### 5/5 — Super widget !

*2024-01-05*

Juste ce que je cherchais pour voir rapidement les infos de la chanson en cours sans ouvrir une application, bravo !

### 4/5 — Good app

*2023-09-06*

Some songs info aren’t available on the app.

### 5/5 — Yesss

*2023-04-02*

Awesome! Love that I can get the play count from within the Share Song menu when I’m playing music. Thanks for the app 👍

**Developer response:** You’re definitely welcome, thanks for the review!
