# Music Metadata

> Skill `music` on Faro. 2 sub-skills.

Looks up music metadata for songs, albums, and artists, including discographies, tracklists, band members, and songwriting credits. Each result carries a stable identifier so you can drill down from an artist to their albums or from an album to its individual tracks.

**Category:** Knowledge & Reference  
**Tags:** music, artists, albums, recordings, discography  
**Use when:** You need authoritative music facts, like a discography, tracklist, band members, or who wrote a song.  
**Not for:** Playing or streaming audio, previews, lyrics, charts, sales or stream counts, playlists, or audio fingerprinting.  
**Returns:** information — Returns clean music records with a stable identifier on each, plus the requested relationships. Not audio, lyrics, or a downloadable file.

## How to run
Skills run through one gateway with your Faro token. Hand it an `intent` in plain language; Faro routes to the right sub-skill, runs it, and bills per call. Raw tools are internal plumbing and are not directly callable.
