For example, X-Ray is prominent within Prime Video, where it’s used to display information about the movie or show that you’re watching. It can tell you the actors within the scene, what music is playing, or just some interesting tidbits about the production.
To access the feature, all you need to do is swipe up from the bottom on songs where you see the X-Ray label. The song will keep playing and you can then swipe through a series of screens to check out the facts.
PCMag UK tested the feature on Kacey Musgraves’ Space Cowboy, which showed information on how the song placed in the country charts and how many awards Musgraves has won.
If you use Spotify, you might not be that impressed by this announcement. That’s because Spotify has already done something similar for a long time with a feature called Behind the Lyrics, thanks to its partnership with Genius.
Genius is a music lyric website which allows users to annotate lines with interesting nuggets of information. Some of these verified facts then appear on Spotify tracks as the specific part of the song plays.
