Pandora has indicated that it will now add full song credits to its music streaming platform. The new credits will be added to millions of different tracks on the platform and will be displayed on both mobile and web versions of the streaming service. Pandora clearly views full song credits as an important project, as it will now credit everyone who worked on a song, form audio engineers to songwriters.
Pandora states that its new credits will help address one of the major issues that arise from streaming platforms. The company states that streaming music has made it extremely easy for people to find different music, but it also can neglect to properly credit the people making the music.
