I totally love that streaming services provide exactly zero information about recordings now. It's such a nod to the fact that music is just a neverending stream of content. Like, who fucking cares who made it, or when? It's already over!
@alisynthesis The incredibly damning part to me is that it’s not even hard. They have the info, it’s just text, some of it’s already in the metadata.

@Stoneymonster @alisynthesis
I don't use spotify, but I read somewhere that they make extensive use of #ISRC codes.

#Bandcamp supports ISRC in metadata, if you have it in the upload.
It also supports the UNSYNCEDLYRICS tag, and if your songs are on Bandcamp with official lyrics, anyone who searches for your lyrics will be sent to the track page.

@dec23k @Stoneymonster Interesting. Do you mean that Bandcamp adds the UNSYNCED-LYRICS tag to the mp3 and flac files that it generates from your uploaded wav files, or that if you upload tagged mp3 files, for example, it pulls the lyrics from that tag as search microdata? Or something else? (Not finding any documentation about this, which isn't hugely surprising.)

I think they have to be entered on the website after the upload.

The lyrics show up on the track and album pages, for example:
https://beruriernoir.bandcamp.com/album/abracadaboum
https://beruriernoir.bandcamp.com/track/descendons-dans-la-rue

They are put into FLAC tags but I'm not sure about other formats. I'll download something and see.
