  • High-resolution artwork β€” 512Γ—512 and 3000Γ—3000 album art
  • Rich metadata β€” artist, album, genre, release date, track number, duration, price
  • Multi-query support β€” batch search multiple artists/songs
  • Entity types β€” search for songs, albums, artists separately
  • Multi-country β€” uses iTunes country-specific catalogs
