Say this in Japanese? 2013/10/1 23:20
How should I say in Japanese if I want to get information on certain songs' credit informations from the CD booklet?

What do you specifically want to say and for what purpose? For example, in Japanese, credit is "credit (ku-re-jitto)" and CD booklet is "CD booklet (C-D-bukku-retto)."

Thanks for your feedback. Producer is "producer" in Japanese, too.

Suppose, you want to know about tracks A, B and C from the Album Z. You can just ask in basic English:

Who are the producers for A, B and C from the album Z?

Or if you insist in using Japanese:

Album Z no A, B, C no producuer wa dare desuka?

Thanks Uco.

I tried my best... wondering if the following is fine...

以下のアルバムを持っていますか?CD ブックレットから曲の情報は手に入りますか?

以下のアルバムを持っていますか?

The above part is perfect, asuming you want to say "Do you have the following album(s)?"

CD ブックレットから曲の情報は手に入りますか?

This part is a bit unclear as it just says "Can I obtain track information from the CD booklet?"

CD booklets always shows a list of song titles from that album, and the reader might think you are just looking for that. If you have specific "information" in mind, you should state that clearly.

For example, perhaps this is what you wanted to say:

それぞれの曲のプロデューサーを知りたいのですが、CDブックレットなどに書いてありますか?
(I want to know the producers for each track. Is it written on the CD booklet and such?)

or

プロデュースや作詞作曲のクレジットはCDブックレットに載っていますか?
(Are producers and songwriters credited on the CD booklet?)

Most Japanese not using "booklet[ブックレット]".

"Kashi(=lyric) card[歌詞カード]" or "liner notes[ライナーノーツ]" usual.

Even in Japanese, "booklet[ブックレット]" is not the same as "Kashi(=lyric) card[歌詞カード]" or "liner notes[ライナーノーツ]." If you're looking for a booklet, you should say so. The many Japanese who know the difference would be confused if you use the terms incorrectly.
