Is there a way to find track credits? For example: the new taylor swift song "Look what you made me do"
I don't trust the Wikipedia. It says it was produced by Jack Antonoff, but I read somewhere that Taylor Swift co-produced it, but I can't find any evidence of that. BMI/ASCAP online list songwriters.
There was an online MP3 store that I think was posted here where you could buy MP3s have some advanced credits if you expanded on the track name, but I can't remember the name? it may have been a non-English speaking site? Other ideas?
It's INCREDIBLY frustrating that in 2017 we don't have an authoritative source of music credits. :(
i agree- in this day in age of streaming and availability there should be a go-to archive of full music credits. i searched Quobuz.com and found credits:
Richard Fairbrass, Composer, Author - Fred Fairbrass, Composer, Author - Rob Manzoli, Composer, Author - Taylor Swift, Composer, Author, MainArtist - Jack Antonoff, Composer, Author - Sony/ATV Songs LLC, MusicPublisher - Taylor Swift Music, MusicPublisher - Sony/ATV Tree Publishing, MusicPublisher - Ducky Donath Music, MusicPublisher - Spirit Catalog Holdings, S.a.r.l., MusicPublisher

I agree, it is so annoying. And it's getting worse. The best site for credits is Tidal:
https://listen.tidal.com/
You don't have to be a user to check the credits of songs.
But it is all depending on the release/label if credits are among the details of a song.
ASCAP and BMI are inconsistent as the songs can appear years after it was released or it shows a lot of unreleased demos, and they don't list producers. Discogs is way worse finding new music. Qobuz and Tidal are the most reliable yet terrible with full credits. Is there a way to check iTunes without software?
Unfortunately not.
I chheck everything on discogs.com and from the instagram accounts of the people involved.

How can you check the accounts from the people involved when you don't even know who is actually involved?

Well, I listen and tend to recognize producers sounds.
I follow a lot of producers and songwriters, A&Rs, publishers and people from the biz so I check there...
