Sleevenotes: Credits for the Record You're Playing

Editorial interest 78/100 Selection signal · not a rating of the site

An iPhone app in testing that identifies the musicians and recording details behind records played through Apple Music.

Landing page captured for the 2026-08-25 issue.

Field notes

Sleevenotes is designed around a specific gap between streaming playback and physical-record liner notes. The stated workflow begins with a record played in Apple Music and draws chiefly on Discogs data dumps, with Wikidata and Wikipedia supplying dates and biographies. The project says it will distinguish album-level credits from confirmed track participation rather than filling gaps with guesses. A tester field guide is present, but the homepage says there is no download yet.
