The problem is that YouTube doesn't provide metadata such as albums, release years, artist names and etc... Even the artist names are provided by my custom implementation. we only get the song name in one line.

Can you use something like MusicBrainz to grab metadata that YouTube doesn't provide?

Even if I did such a thing, YouTube still doesn't provide albums, so it would be totally useless. Such features require platform integrations with services like YouTube Music or Spotify. I neither have enough time to start integrating them, nor is it worth it. I have already spent enough time on this project with no benefits.
