There’s no installation required and works on any platform (Windows, Mac OSX, Linux and even your smartphone). It is not exactly a plugin but a web-based bookmarklet. Then, using the Terminal, move inside and run the InstantLyrics.py file.I haven’t found any good Spotify lyrics plugin for Mac OSX yet so I decided to code my own approach. To build from source you’ll need a couple of non-standard dependencies.įirst install everything you need to run the app: sudo apt install python-gi python-dbus gir1.2-appindicator3-0.1 python-pipįollowed by everything the app needs to run: pip install requests beautifulsoup4 lxmlįinally, download the latest snapshot of source code from Github:Įxtract the zip archive. There’s no easy-squeezy installer package ready to download, so you’ll need to run it from source or use an AppImage. Now for the dropout: Instant Lyrics is not the easiest app to install. Here you’ll see a search box where you can enter the artist and track name of the lyrics you seek, hit ‘Get Lyrics’ and start singing along! Just click the ‘Get Lyrics’ menu option to open the lyrics window. Not using Spotify? No worries you can still use the applet to fetch lyrics. And unlike the integrated Spotify web player solution we mentioned before, you can keep using the official Spotify for Linux app.
Unlike Lyricifier (an Electron app), CoverGloobus (a desktop widget), Instant Lyrics keeps squarely out of your way. When a song you want to know the words to comes on, just click the menu item followed ‘Spotify Lyrics’. Instant Lyrics then fetches the lyrics to the song currently playing in Spotify and displays them in a separate, scrollable, resizable window. Instant Lyrics is designed to work with the official Spotify for Linux client, with which it is able to automatically detect the current playing track and fetch lyrics for it. It works on most Linux desktop environments, including Unity, GNOME Shell (where we tried it), Cinnamon and Budgie. This simple indicator applet is written in Python and runs out of the system tray area. Instant Lyrics by Bhrigu S., offers up a quick way to get song lyrics for the currently playing Spotify track. If you liked being able to tap a button to instantly see lyrics for the currently playing song, we’ve found a nifty little indicator applet that can help. It’s been several months since Spotify removed the lyrics function from it’s apps, and it shows no signs of returning soon.
