Reviews: What People Think About Music Info — Song Metadata
WhamboMPS
Rating: 5/5
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.

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.

Great job!
I have spent decades curating my metadata but could never see it in any other app before, only in iTunes.
I don’t use Apple music only my own mp3 files. It would be great if you could add the ability to edit metadata on the iPhone.
I use another app to rate songs since the Music player buries the star ratings too deep.
You could probably write to that field and others. I’d pay extra for that.
Thank you

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
