Add metadata for song tracking apps

[divno]

Feature request: Download song info metadata along with song

Download metadata from YT music with the song (or at least the album metadata with the song title and artist of a song) so that apps that request metadata can access it easily without having to constantly edit.

I don't understand what you are requesting. Please explain.

I'm not well versed in code but when downloading a song mp3 or m4a onto a device, there is song data attached to the file, I don't know if this is possible or not with ViTune as songs are temporarily stored in the cache, but since the music is technically "downloaded" would there be a way to add metadata to the song so that other apps can recognize albums? For now (I'm assuming) that ViTune separately downloads the audio, album art, and song and music title separately and then matches them to each song.

I know I kind of repeated what I said above but I'm not too sure what other way to describe it, This screenshot shows an example of the kind of metadata I'm talking about.

I don't understand. Other apps (except for Android Auto, Android Automotive, Google Assistant) cannot access ViTunes data as of right now. What are you requesting exactly?

I'm unsure how to word it exactly since I don't know how it would work but one app that can access ViTune's data uses basically just the notification callback to copy song data like a scribbler for Last.fm

My bad, didn't mean to ref this issue

@divno I guess I could implement a content provider for ViTune's data with a permission system but there is no standardized way to provide this data on Android, so other apps won't be able to fetch the data from Android if they don't understand the contract with ViTune.

Not a viable feature for now
