Before I start, I apologise for any mistakes in here as I am not very knowing on the topic of copyright, but I think I have the basics down.

So, I use a bunch of songs that require me, as part of the C.C license, to put in a bunch of text to credit for each song I use, to be able to use it. This is the text (In quotes):

""Song name" Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com)
Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 3.0

-and I end up having to paste that, again and again, changing "song name" to one of the songs in the video, and then paste the piece of text again, put a different song name in, and do the same thing again and again to cover all of the songs used in the video (all the songs I use are by the same guy, same lisence).

So, I was wondering if instead of pasting that phrase 7 times or however, is there a way I can just condense all of the song credits into one phrase?

Eg, kind of like this (in quotes):

""Song name", "song name 2", "song name 3", "song name 4", " song name 5", "song name 6", "song name 7" Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com)

Would it be allowed? Or is there any other way to condense how much credit text I have to put in the description?

There has to be some way. All of the big YouTubers have tiny descriptions. Thank you in advance :)

Some people just have "Songs by Kevin McLeod in their description."

I'm not sure if that is allowed or not, but I would hardly imagine Kevin McLeod going into every video description to see if he is credited in the right way.
Just as a precaution, I do the same as you.
