Apple Music lyrics style

  • Settings → Lyrics → Lyrics Style → Apple Music gives the lyrics the look and motion of Apple Music's: lines rise and settle with springs, the line you're on is sharp while the rest soften and dim, held words swell, and background vocals fade in around their line
  • The Spicy Lyrics style is still the default; Simple and Minimal modes belong to it

Floating lyrics

  • Leave the app with a song playing and the lyrics shrink into a small floating window over your other apps, with previous, play/pause and next. Tap it to come back
  • Android 12 and newer do this on their own when you go home. On Android 8 to 11 the app does it as you leave
  • Settings → Device → Floating lyrics turns the automatic version off. Settings → Controls → Floating lyrics button adds a button that opens it by hand; it's on by default only before Android 12, where there is no automatic way in
  • It only happens from the lyrics screen: never over Settings, a pop-up or the first-run introduction

First run

  • New installs get a short introduction: notification access, the optional usage stats choice, a few look settings and the gestures. Settings can replay it

Fixes

  • Spotify no longer desyncs the lyrics after a pause, a resume or a seek
  • Seeking back no longer leaves the lines ahead half-way through their animation
  • The About card's GitHub button now says "Star on GitHub". It's the same link

Limitations

  • The floating window needs Android 8 or newer and a phone that supports picture-in-picture
  • 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
