Cool idea, but very few .wads have that kind of listed metadata in them (if any at all), so the mod would have to provide it itself, which is quick and easy enough to do for the iwads, but means shitloads of manual data entry for any given popular .wad, and that's for the ones where the music is properly credited.

You're gonna run into so many .wads where there's a music track and the only credit available is either "I took it from this .wad" or worse "I got it from this NeoCities page which hasn't existed for 17 years and which there are no records of." which means a lot of manual detective work to suss that out.

However, a lot of MIDIs have some embedded metadata in them, which can a title, year, name of an author, and maybe all of those at once, so possibly that could be drawn from sometimes. You couldn't count on that being present at all times, but looking at that metadata can help with the detective work.
