Title covers it, pretty much.

I always have this experience:

Just watched a movie.  
Loved the music.  
Tivo is low quality.  
Can’t read credits of music.

Bummed.

Seek alternate source.

Internet is good source for information.

But where?

Specifically it’s under “Fun Stuff”, between goofs and crazy credits

imdb is getting better about this but for a lot of it’s pages it lists the tracks on the CD rather than the actual songs credited in the movie.

It also doesn’t have a complete credits list.

I found [this site](http://www.naxos.com/musicinmovies.asp?letter=A) while looking for the title of a piece of classical music heard on a TV show. The movies are listed alphabetically, which makes it more helpful than some other sites that sort by composer.

It’s a start!
