Spotify's synchronized song lyrics are now available to everyone
After testing the feature in the US and elsewhere, Spotify has launched synchronized song lyrics for users around the world
Spotify just started testing its live lyrics feature in the US
As of this morning, the company is now testing a feature that displays lyrics synced with your music in the United States. Don't be surprised if you never see these live lyrics show up, though.
Spotify is testing real-time lyrics
Spotify might be adding real-time lyrics to its app, again. Dozens of Twitter users around the world have reported that lyrics are now popping up as they listen to Spotify. A user with beta 8.5.46.848 confirmed the feature to Android Police. But, this seems to be server-side enabled, as not all users with that beta can see the lyrics.
Spotify's karaoke-style lyrics are gone, for now
If you tried to access Spotify's lyrics feature recently, you were likely greeted with a "Humming is fun" message instead. That's because the streaming service ended its partnership with Musixmatch, a company that power the tool with its catalog of song lyrics. Billboard reports that "updates" are on the way, though specifics aren't mentioned, so there's no concrete indication when or if the feature will return. Spotify does still offer insight into the meaning of a song's words, thanks to a separate partnership with Genius.
