Spotify removed the lyrics function from it’s mobile and desktops apps back in the summer, after a deal with lyrics database Musixmatch hit a bum note and ended.
The great thing about this app is that it lets you translate the lyrics right away, which means that it can reflect both lyrics of the original and the translated version. This feature is just wonderful for those who learn languages using songs. Just like other lyrics apps, Lyrics Mania contains some advertising.

Well, there’s a new app that fills the song-word shaped gap.
Lyricfier, a Spotify Lyrics App
Now, I know what you’re thinking: as music player features go the ability to fetch and display lyrics isn’t essential. Spotify free version offline.
But it was handy, particularly when checking out a new band or listening to a new song (“did they really just sing that?! App that makes spotify into festival lineup optimizer. “).
The lyrics feature also helped many learn that the words in a song are not what you’ve always thought they were! (On that note please do share your stories about misheard lyrics below!).
If you use the Spotify for Web player app that we’ve written about a couple of times before then you don’t need this app as lyrics support is built-in (hurrah).

Lyricfier is an Electron app (no groaning) that detects which song you’re streaming in Spotify and then fetches matching lyrics from the web. When running it automatically changes on track change, too.
The Github page explains: “We retrieve the current song of spotify client using the spotify built-in web server that allow us to ask for the current status of the player.

The app has a couple of settings, including an obligatory ‘dark theme’ option (pictured below) and the ability makes the lyrics window float on top of all your other windows.

You’ll find Lyricfier downloads for Windows, macOS and Linux available from the project website below:
