Metadata Customizer is a Spicetify extension that allows you to customize how much track/album metadata is visible.
Just wanting to get the full release date? Check out fullAlbumDate instead!
It's always annoyed the hell out of me that Spotify doesn't show when a track or album was released (unless you hover over the release year for like 3 seconds). Originally was meant to just change that one thing but apparently I don't know when to stop.
- Spotify Desktop Client (Not from the Windows store if on Windows)
- Spicetify-cli
- Follow this guide for instructions on how to install Spicetify for your platform, including the 'Basic Usage' page.
- Run
spicetify path
to find where you Spicetify home folder is. This should contain the foldersCustomApps & Themes
, and you may have to create anExtensions
folder yourself. - Drop the
metadataCustomizer.js
file into theExtensions
folder. - Run
spicetify config extensions metadataCustomizer.js
to enable the extension. - Run

to apply the changes and restart Spotify.
