# The Credits Panel

This display presents information crediting the people who had various functions relating to the audio track.

As these fields are not as common as many others, a brief description of the fields and their editing requirements follows. This text is largely taken from the ID3 specifications:

> Original Artist
>   The 'Original artist/performer' frame is intended for the performer of the original recording, if for example the music in the file should be a cover of a previously released song.

>   The 'Composer' frame is intended for the name of the composer.
> Conductor
>   The 'Conductor' frame is used for the name of the conductor.
> Remixer
