Change lyrics position

Put the lyrics back where they were, it's really annoying where they currently are (under the album cover and song name) 

 

very minor thing to complain about but it's bothering me and some of my friends a LOT

ı don't think so the lyrics bar is so super and most of us adore this fr

Recently noticed with the new update that the lyrics have been moved to the Now Playing sidebar. All I want to know is - why?
Previously, you could access the lyrics by simply clicking an icon and now you gotta go through some Hulu-esque **bleep** to see them... To me, it looks ugly and feels completely impractical...

Spotify, for the love of all that's holy STOP TRYING TO FIX WHAT DOESN'T NEED FIXING!!!

The lyrics tab was removed from the hotbar on the Windows app. This did not need to be changed and only serves to inconvenience people. It should be but back to where it was before.

I agree, it just didn't need to be changed, and only serves to inconvenience users.

Your right they really should

My Question or Issue

*I am posting this on behalf of my friend who cannot speak English.

 

Since yesterday, the Lyrics icon disappeared from his Spotify App on PC. The lyrics are still available, but they only show on "Now playing view," and whenever he keeps opening the lyrics, when the next song comes up, it disappears and shows the artwork of the song. It's very inconvenient to reopen the lyrics again.

I checked mine, and it still has the Lyrics icon on my web player, even though we are using the same version. It seems that it doesn't matter, even if it's in Japanese songs or others.

Will this new update (if so it sucks hard), or is it just a bug?

 

Please, someone help 😞

Yea, I just had to re-open my player as my queue was glitching any time i tried to add a song to it and now it's like this with the lyrics view hidden and auto changing back to artwork on every song! I like to be able to see the songs and my queue at the same time on my second monitor and it's super frustrating like this now! hopefully it isnt an "updated feature" because it definitely isnt an improvement!

Honestly whoever is in charge at spotify dev team please sort it out first smart shuffle forced on instead of normal shuffle (that plays pushed songs by spotify) to removing lyric hotbar feature that didnt need to be hidden on a now playing tab that is ugly and not full screen and if i do want it fullscreen i have to reclick show lyrics everytime 😑
instead of adding feature you are making it super incovenient and a choir to use 

Thank yall so much
