I missed the part where def people listen to Spotify  How does that work?. Allot of sites have music lyrics free?. Hoh might have a Use. or is Just something to gripe about? Music is important to me as long as I like to hear the sound.Stop whining and get your better free music source. This one isn't your best choice . Maybe a social media site that caters to your needs for free and Listens? to you complaining while you type and read the griping.

Atp just switch to yt music or pandora. Spotify loves doing scummy stuff like this. Its just making the experience of the app more and more inconvenient. Don't know why they want more money even though they hog it all.

The reason why it costs money to find lyrics id honestly because the service Spotify uses (Musixmatch) costs money. It’s not viable to loan a paid service to others for free, especially since this would be at the expense of Premium users. The reason why Soundcloud has it for free is because it uses community help to do it, which is good but unreliable. Also, Spotify isn’t shooting themselves in the foot by doing that. Spotify needs to get a license for every song and also it costs money to host servers. You should be lucky to even be able to use Spotify for free. If you want lyrics and don’t mind a compressed sound quality, use Youtube Music or SoundCloud. Or maybe just search the lyrics yourself.

Introducing a feature just to put up a paywall behind it is a really bad move ijbol

Dear Spotify team, charging people for something so small like lyrics is downright cheap, most songs don't even have lyrics and your charging people for it? Please fix this problem, if you don't your reputation might be ruined for this, charging people for lyrics is stupid I'm struggling enough to find songs with lyrics to sing to and suddenly your demanding money for it too? I'm sorry Spotify team but people do NOT **bleep** money. And also the ads? It's like there's 3 of them whenever I listen to music in your app it's more annoying then long ads in YouTube, infact I think YouTube is better now, like don't be shy Spotify, I mean if you can charge us for lyrics might as well charge us for every song we click at huh? Or maybe just charge us to download the app. Idek why I'm wasting my time here when I know your not gonna fix this. So Stupid and Pathetic

I have Premium and I've reached the lyrics limit. I have uninstalled Spotify, logged out and back in, and tried it on my S24U, iPhone 13, and HP G10 Windows laptop.

 

Can anyone help, please? (I also don't know where I can make my comment a post.)

A poem for Kristasofia courtesy of ChatGPT

 

“In a world where dreams are sold,
Krista Sofia, bold and cold,
Shouts her pain to those who’ll hear,
"Why must I pay for all that's dear?"

Her voice, a storm, relentless, loud,
Angry cries, a bitter cloud,
"Unfair!" she screams to passersby,
Beneath a hard and tearful sky.

Coins and bills, a cruel demand,
Life's toll exacted from her hand,
She rails against the unjust weight,
In every cry, her heart's debate.

Oh, Krista Sofia, fierce and strong,
In this world where right feels wrong,
May kindness find you, ease your woes,
And love embrace you, gently close.

For though the world is harsh and tough,
Your spirit’s fire is bright enough,
To light the dark, to soothe your pain,
And bring you peace through life's refrain.

So let us gather, all as one,
And offer hugs till tears are done.”

I actually agree, like I know I can always just search it up on Google, but that's just purely annoying. Spotify is literally a music platform, and I personally think ALL music platform should give users at least power to VIEW THE LYRICS RIGHT ON THE SPOT. Why can't I do that without paying 10 dollars???

Nowadays I ask Bing Copllot for any lyrics in any language. Prevents going into all sorts of dodgy websites, and works for lyrics I don't understand as well.
