Thanks Howard, I can't find any human being. I tried Twitter and asking the CEO of Spotify.. but no response.   It is just part of a pattern which demotes the value of writers and confuses the history of songs. I wish Mudcat could show images, so I could show you how my father's songs show up when I do any search, not just using Spotify.   High up the rankings on my search pages comes this By, Song and Lyrics by etc with the artist prominent as if they wrote it. I have seen people who aren't quite as with it on the song front as you, take it at face value because of the ambiguity. It could easily be sorted by something in the AI programming just saying "Recorded", or "Performed" By... I just wondered why it is formulated in the current way - and how it can be altered?
