Spotify lyrics For Windows Archives

The recently updated Spotify Premium boasts a streamlined design with only three buttons at the bottom of the app for navigating its wares. I don't miss the jettisoned Browse and Radio buttons (after figuring out where their functionality wandered off to) since I spent most of my time with the Home, Search and My Library buttons anyway. Even with the updated design, navigating a catalog of more than 35 million songs is no small task. Get more out of Spotify and find what you are looking for faster with these tips.

Where radio went to

The radio function now hides behind the triple-dot button on an artist or album page, or next to a song in search results. Just tap the ... button in the top right of an artist or album page or to the right of a song in search results and then tap Go to radio. In addition, you will find new artist radio playlists when you search for an artist. On the search results page for an artist, scroll down to the Featuring section of playlists and you'll find one labeled as the artist's Radio. These artist radio playlists are personalized to your listening habits and can be downloaded for offline use. (Also, all of the browsing options that were previously under the Browse button are now stashed in Search.)

Use your voice

You can talk to the mobile app and ask it to play a song, artist, album, playlist, genre or just something you might like. Long press the Search button and ask Spotify to play you some music. It's the fastest way to get to your music.

Scrub tracks on the iOS lock screen and Control Center

This one is iOS-only. Spotify offers song scrubbing from the iOS lock screen and Control Center. Now, if you want to jump to a different spot in the song that's playing, you don't need to open the app but can use the slider at the top of the lock screen or Control Center to scrub through a song.

View album or artist info

If you like what you are hearing and want to hear more from that artist, there's a quick way to jump to more songs from that artist without needing to search. From the Now Playing panel, tap the triple-dot button along the right edge below the album artwork, scroll down and tap View Album or View Artist. The former is great if you stumble across a great song in a playlist and want to check out the album on which that song appears. The latter is great when you discover new songs from artists you don't know and want find out more about these new or new-to-you artists and see the other music they have released.

Save your Discover Weekly playlists

The Discover Weekly playlist might be my favorite thing about Spotify. Each Monday, Spotify delivers 30 songs it thinks I might like, but every Monday my previous Discover Weekly playlist goes poof! Thankfully, there's an IFTTT applet that will automatically save your Discover Weekly playlists each week. Set up the applet and it'll create a Discover Weekly Archive playlist and save your 30 Discover Weekly songs to it each week.

Save your Shazams to a playlist

Shazam was the first app that blew my mind on my first iPhone

View song lyrics while listening to music in Spotify, with this simple-to-use and feature-packed utility that can fetch lyrics from multiple sources

Note: Some antimalware applications might trigger alerts for Spotify Lyrics. However, our tests have shown that these are actually false positives, so it's safe to download and install the tool.

There are a few important features missing from the Spotify Windows desktop application, but there are lots of third-party utilities out there that can fill the gap. For instance, many users would like to see song lyrics while listening to their music, and this is not possible using the official Spotify client.

Spotify Lyrics is an open-source application designed for this very purpose. It grabs lyrics from a number of online sources automatically and displays them in a separate window when you play any song in Spotify.

Lyrics for pretty much every song, from multiple sources

One of the best things about this application is that it does not rely on a single lyrics source, so you are very unlikely to come across a song whose lyrics cannot be found. We certainly didn’t during our tests.

The application can grab lyrics from services such as Wikia, Musixmatch, Songlyrics, Mini Lyrics, Songmeanings and more. You can also switch between them, but it does seem to be possible to set a preferred one.

View song lyrics and chords while listening to music

When you play a song in Spotify, this program should detect it and fetch the lyrics automatically. The process is very quick, so you won’t have to deal with any delays. Once the text is displayed, you can increase or decrease the font size.

For some songs, Spotify Lyrics can even attempt to follow the verses, highlighting the current one and scrolling down automatically. However, this feature doesn’t always work, and the synchronization is often not on point.

Interestingly, the application can even provide a link to a website that displays each song’s chords, but their database does not seem to be all that extensive.

Offers a lot of nifty features, but could use a couple more

From the application’s settings, you can configure it to stay on top of other windows or remain in the background, as well as have it launch Spotify automatically if it isn’t already running.

However, it would have been great if the lyrics could be displayed without any additional UI elements, as many users will want to keep them on the desktop at all times. Also, it would help if the application could be hidden from the Taskbar.

In short, Spotify Lyrics is a great program for Spotify users, as it is pretty much guaranteed to find the lyrics for all your music. It is very easy to use, and it comes with an impressive set of features, but some small improvements would still be welcome.
