About LyricsX
LyricsX follows the track playing in supported music players, searches several lyrics sources automatically, and displays timed lyrics on the desktop or in the menu bar with adjustable font, color and position. Double-clicking a line seeks to that part of the song, and lyrics can be imported or exported by drag and drop.
It is available from GitHub releases, Homebrew and the Mac App Store. The latest GitHub release, 1.6.3, dates from April 2022, so player and source compatibility may lag behind current versions.
