The way we listen to music now is through streaming services, and increasingly so, but there are a few things that would make them just that much better.

Lyrics

Obvious enough? Why can’t we have the lyrics of every song out there? I’m not saying it’ll be used in every instance you are listening to songs, but sometimes you just want the official lyrics submitted from the artist or publication right inside the service where you to listen to your songs. I think a simple addition like this one would make a difference in the lives of a great number of people.

Music Dicovery

I know there are services like shazam, but you should be able to pull up the app that you listen to music through, and have it recognize the song that’s playing, and give you options to add it to your collection, add it to your playlists, or ‘like’ it.

CD booklets

You might not be old enough to remember when we bought music through CDs but most of them would have a booklet included. The booklet had artwork from the artists, more details about every song, the names of everyone that worked on the song, and it just gave you more insights on the whole album and made your purchase feel that much more special. You build more of a connection to the artist or band just through those booklets.

Recently there have been talks about Tidal and how the service is struggling to gain traction in the market. Little details like those would differentiate today’s music services since there’s a bit of a struggle to really make a service that stands out of the crowd.

Thos were my requests, what features do you want added?
