Now it’s getting an addition that lets you learn a thing or two while bopping along to the beat.

    Amazon’s new Music X-Ray feature offers behind the scenes tidbits and trivia about top songs, artists, and albums. The company already offered a limited X-Ray that provided scrolling lyrics for years now, but this revamp sees it working more like the X-Ray functionality in Prime Video, pulling up fun facts about the media you’re currently experiencing. It’ll even display song credits to tell you the people responsible for your newest favorite song.
