This looks nice. Where does it get the syncronized lyrics from?

[fs0c13ty00 → brokenmachine]

Its source is from LRCLIB (lrclib.net). LRCLIB collects lyrics from various sources, including MXM, but also allows users to submit their own synced lyrics.

You can understand it as a "Library Genesis" for lyrics. LRCLIB will also become open-source (soon™).

How does lrclib plan to avoid the usual copyright obliteration fate of other lyric sites?

It's puzzling why record companies are so hostile to people having lyrics for their music.

DMCA is not available in every countries. About applications that are published to Appstore/Play Store, they may ask for users to manually enter a 'LRCAPI-compatible instance' URL to avoid issues.

Tiny bit offtopic but is there any way to get lrclib to work with foobar2000?

[fs0c13ty00 → brokenmachine]

I'm not a foobar2000 user, but after some searches, there are Lyrics Show Panel 3 (mostly dead?) and its opensource alternative foo_openlyrics (https://github.com/jacquesh/foo_openlyrics).

Adding LRCLIB source should be easy and straightforward enough (https://github.com/jacquesh/foo_openlyrics/tree/master/src/s...). I'm not very experienced in C++ though, so I suggest opening an issue first to see if the author or anyone are willing to do the intergration.
