Apple Hiring Lyrics Curation Team for Apple Music
 

Apple is hiring a Lyrics Curation Manager and Lyrics Curators, presumably to work on the new Apple Music feature in iOS 10 that provides song lyrics alongside each Apple Music song that is playing.

First **ticed by MusicBusinessWorldwide, the job listings are for the Content Curation team, responsible for "maintaining the very best user experience possible around content."

We're looking for a manager to lead a team of lyrics curators with excellent writing skills, music k**wledge, and attention to detail. Passion for tech**logy and a will to question the current workflows with the mindset to improve tools and processes. General understanding, love, and ideally, experience in writing lyrics.

For the **n-manager positions, Apple is seeking candidates with competency in Italian, Portuguese, Chinese, German, and Spanish, so at least some of the Lyrics team will focus on translating song lyrics into additional languages. Other job requirements include the ability to "accurately and quickly transcribe lyrics," "superlative writing skills" and a willingness to learn "new and complicated tools and processes."

In Apple Music in iOS 10, scrolling down on the "**w Playing" window brings up an option to show song lyrics on most Apple Music songs. Lyrics are still a work in progress and are **t available for all songs, especially new releases.

It is **t clear if Apple's lyric transcriptions are done in-house, but given the sheer number of songs on Apple Music, it seems likely Apple has partner services with lyrics provided by a company specializing in lyric transcription or directly from music labels.

The new Apple Music, which has seen a significant redesign in iOS 10, will launch to the public this fall.
