MusicSmart - Liner Notes

The idea of this app is fantastic. However with the first 10 songs i tried, no other info than artist and release date appeared. It seems to have a small database of only main stream artists and songs. It was only when i tried with artists like Beyonce that info appeared, but this info is really interesting and i wish the database was much, much, much bigger…:-(

Just installed this, and already spent hours reading about songs in my library. This is really great. Only missing background information about the artists too. If that was available, I would give it five stars. Alternatively a link to a Wikipedia article about the artist could be nice.

At least for classical NO LINER NOTES. nothing beyond that which apple gives

MusicSmart had been one of my favorite apps and really enhanced my listening pleasure of Apple Music. Then there was an update several weeks ago, and now all I get is the writer and the producer of each song. No longer is there a detailed breakdown of who played what instrument on a song and that’s the main reason I bought this app. Now if I want to know that info, I have to go back to Wikipedia, just like I did before buying this app. Total fail!

Unless I’m having a difficult time navigating the updated app, it seems like all the actual “liner notes” are no longer available. There’s a wealth of information within the app, and it seems pretty well laid out since I was a more regular user, but the liner notes from old vinyl records that I used to be able to access through the app don’t seem to be there anymore. I imagine it could be a licensing thing, but it’s a shame. And if there are no actual liner notes, it makes the app name a bit misleading.

Great in concept but too often it glitches and delivers only cursory song data. When looking at Genius, I nevertheless see all of the song liner note information. Keep working on it, A for concept and effort…

This app is amazing!!! I love looking at the album information and the record label the album was released on. The only thing is that the release date on the album is one day off. For example, if the album was released on june 17th 2004, on the app, for some reason it says the release date is june 16th 2004. I wonder is there a way this could be rectified? On all of the albums in the Apple Music library it does the exact same thing. Other than that, I really enjoy using this app!!!

This app is incredible. So much attention to detail. MusicSmart and MusicHarbor are a beautiful pair. Both help me to experience more new music and stay in the know of who is making the music behind the scenes. Fantastic Work.

If you grew up reading liner notes. This is kinda like that but with links to let you keep digging.

I had high hopes for this app as a way to easily get detailed information on albums in my Music app. No information is available for albums not in Apple Music. Moreover, even for those albums that are, there was very limited information provided. No info on artists performing on each track, what instruments were being played, recoding studio, and other details. Wish I could get my money back. Better to just subscribe to AllMusic.com, which does not even require a subscription.
