New look

  • Settings and the pop-ups now come in the purple theme Spicy Lyrics just introduced: lavender text, a deep purple background, and the logo big in the corner. Toasts match it as a small purple pill
  • Settings → Theme switches Settings and the pop-ups back to the plain glass, separately
  • New purple app icon. The pride icon is still there in Settings → Theme → App Icon, and the icon swaps once you leave the app
  • Songs without a cover show the logo of the icon you picked

Your own lyrics sources

  • Custom sources: Settings → Sources → Custom sources adds any lyrics API you have an address for. The song's title, artist, album, length or Spotify ID go into the address, and the answer can be TTML, LRC or plain text, as is or inside JSON. Test it against the playing song, then share it; a shared copy never includes your keys
  • Lyrics folder: link a folder in the Lyrics Manager and its .ttml and .lrc files (subfolders too) are used where they are. New and changed files are picked up when you come back to the app or tap Rescan
  • The Lyrics Manager takes .lrc files too, and word-timed (enhanced) LRC stays word-synced
  • lrc.red is a new source for Apple Music's lyrics

Quick settings

  • The player's queue is in quick settings now, with covers and the playing song marked; tap a song to jump to it. Spotify doesn't list its queue to other apps, but Premium still takes the jump
  • The Lyrics Manager moved into quick settings too. Its floating button is off by default, and a new Queue button can be turned on
  • Pop-ups show a placeholder while they open, so they open smoothly

Animations

  • Skip and play/pause buttons animate like Apple Music's, the queue animates as songs change, and pop-ups grow to fit their content
  • Settings → Device → Interface animations turns them off; low performance mode does too

Fixes

  • Instrumentals show "no lyrics" instead of an error
  • Spotify covers no longer slide in twice when you skip
  • Restoring a settings backup can't crash the app any more, and it reloads the playing song's lyrics with the restored sources
  • A custom source's keys only go to the server you saved them for, even after restoring a backup or following a redirect
  • Stopping the music no longer hides your custom sources in Settings
  • Importing lyrics for the current song only is refused if the song changes before they're ready, instead of landing on the next song

Limitations

  • Spotify playing on another device (Spotify Connect) isn't tuned for sync
  • Some launchers move or drop the home-screen icon when you switch app icons
