Where do I get codec information in the album view in the default skin?

PS: currently DTS codec displayed as dca, dts sample files: https://filesamples.com/formats/dts
W.R.T. OSD, there maybe also some beautify, e.g. include settings for Lyrics( and source/addon), playing background design, Visualizations, hereby 2 difficulties maybe:
I hope music interface can be same fancy as movie, or maybe even more fantastic :-)
- Storage size, due to the fact people may have many music at NAS, info(album art, etc. ) may add up to bigger size, so cache/storage/speed may be a challenge topic;
- For songs in different languages, Lyrics text searching engines and scrapping, and display in e.g. UTF-8 format its native languages, even extract/decode the mp3 tag correctly maybe another challenge;
After thinking about it a lot, I can't really agree with your point of view. I find the music section more than okay, or as good as the movie section. There are even things that the movie section doesn't have, like visualization, artist slidewhow, etc. So i post a few screenshots from home menu, a few views in the library and the now playing widget. Maybe then it will be clearer:

https://kodi.wiki/view/Media_flags => audio flags
While using default skin, DTS codec will be displayed for the library of music. please double check.
Will the codec also be shown in the library itself or only in the music-osd? How can i add/scrape this file type to the music library?
