MusicSmart - Liner Notes

This app isn’t bad, it’s just not very useful. If your musical tastes run even slightly outside of the narrow, current mainstream you are likely to be met with a lot of “there’s no data about this recording” messages. In short, the app over-promises and under-delivers, and blaming the lack of online data to draw from seems a bit disingenuous.

Been looking for something like this forever

The credits/liner notes built into the TIDAL is way better than this - and free. I’ve compared a number of albums that had extensive info on Tidal and minimal info on this app. Hopefully it improves…

Stand alone app is really good but best part is how it integrates with Apple Music

Only seems to work on newer albums and/or big name artists.

If you are a jazz fan and want to know what musicians are playing on each track there isn’t much here. Get yourself the free Allmusic app and don’t bother with this one

If iTunes never thought to offer artists the ability to publish liner notes—or if artists tend not to publish notes to begin with—then an app like this hasn’t much to work with. So far, I have yet to see this app compile notes of much value—usually just the artist and label name, issue date and a link to Wikipedia. I collect jazz fusion music, it would be great to know each of the musicians who play on a song or album, or where the music was recorded, who produced it, or any background stories. Ultimately I blame Apple for the lack of foresight. If not Apple, then the music industry should consider building a central resource to house notes. At least an app like this could have something to work with.

I’ve been begging Apple Music to add credits for years. This app provides that and more. Works as advertised and makes the process easy. Thank you a million times over.

Love the concept, but not sure about the interface. Where is the search feature? How to sort by artist? Update - the developer is very responsive and has started implementing new features.

Nice app, but I have the following issue when I try to use MusicSmart with playlists: "The operation couldn't be completed (View_details_with_-MusicSmart.NetworkError error 2.).
