The app runs as a separate, small window, outside of Spotify. While the company hasn’t made any mention of it existing at all, a Linux version is also available.

It lets users view lyrics for pretty much any track by any artist. Musixmatch is billed as “the world’s largest lyrics platform”.

Sadly Spotify removed lyrics functionality from all of its apps last year, as its deal with lyrics database Musixmatch came to an end. With a single click you could see lyrics scroll up the screen in sync with the playing song, perfect for both impromptu desk-based karaoke sessions to well-known classic, as well as learning lyrics to new tracks by your favourite artists.Īnother click let you view full lyrics as a static, scrollable page. If you used to use the Spotify lyrics feature you will already be familiar with Musixmatch’s main USP: synchronized lyrics.
