Every song in the library has a song page (/songs/123). It's the hub for that song: its details, all of its charts, its links, and buttons to save, record or add it to a band. Anyone can open it. Signing in lets you add to it.
You get there by clicking a song's title, from search, or from Back to Song on a chart.
Tip: Want to play along? Open a chart from the Charts list. The performance doc page puts the chart and the video side by side.
Song info
The top panel shows Artist, Duration, BPM, Vocalist and Key. Click the artist to see their other songs.
Signed in, you can fill in anything that's missing: click Add, enter the value, and it saves straight away. Values that are already set are protected. See Editing library songs and charts.
