Lyric Source Selection

[Ocean-OS]

Is there an existing issue for this?

Pain

As the lyrics system has changed, and some sources have bugs, and some sources are just better than others, it'd be nice to be able to choose what source is the priority for lyrics.

Suggested solution

I was thinking that there could be one of two options:

• A dropdown selection for lyric source, like the music source selection in settings
• A button in settings, that lets you sort music sources in a list, based on priority (if a song doesn't have lyrics available from the first priority source, try the second priority source, and so on)

Spotify Lyrics are considered the best match and if it have both Synced and static lyrics, it'll be selected by default.
LRCLIB.net works as a fallback now already. Becuase LRCLIB usually has popular tracks, but regional ones (except US, CA, UK, Sweden) are much better found on Spotify and that doesn't require Premium, luckily

Audio Source has nothing to do with the Lyrics. Lyrics are directly matched using Spotify Track title and primary artist for LRCLIB and track id for Spotify (Musixmatch) itself

You definitely have to have Spotify Premium now for lyrics to work, so...

[KRTirtho]

Yup, so if it detects there's no lyrics, it'll switch to LRCLIB automatically.

@KRTirtho Because Spotify does provide the first 4 lines as static lyricss, LRCLIB is not automatically chosen when it should be.

Ok, so it's the same issue of #1461. In that case we've check if it's more than 4 lines or not (or something similar).

The thread will continue there. Thus closing it as duplicate (sorta)
