BGM info on screen

[LioJen]

Many times I'll be watching a cutscene or running through a dungeon and hear a song I really like, but have no way to know what the name of the track is or where to find it again.

It would be nice to have a way to check what the currently playing BGM is while in the game so I can know what soundtrack it's on or at least what name to search for a version of it to listen to again.

That's a great idea.

The problem is, there can be a significant delay between the introduction of new music into the game in a patch/expansion and that music actually becoming available for purchase in an OST album/on a online music store like itunes, so it would be something of a moot point anyway. Also it's clear that often music tracks may have their titles changed at the eleventh hour making information often contradicting. This was the case with the special 'Sounds of Eorzea' CD that came with the ARR Collector's Edition - the Limsa daytime theme was called 'The Navigator's Veil' on that album, however the title was changed to I am the Sea on itunes and on the full ARR OST Bluray album, and is now officially the title's track (it's also what it is called in game on the Orchestrion).

To say nothing of the Great Gubal Library theme simply being known as... 'The Great Gubal Library' when it was included as an easter egg on the Before the Fall Bluray album... but is actually called Ink Long Dry on the actual Heavensward OST released a good six months after the expansion's release.

So I don't see this happening I'm afraid.
