Letting users add lyrics to songs without the lyric option

[amalamk]

Some songs, especially indie and rap, don't have the 'Lyrics' option. I propose that long-time reliable users should be allowed to add lyrics to such songs, or that effort should be made to have lyrics for every song. If the user isn't reliable, they should have the option to add lyrics for at least themselves.

Hello, how are you? What I miss about Spotify are the song lyrics. I think it would speed up the process if you allowed users to submit lyrics and you just approved, or the users themselves could be moderators to evaluate. This way you can get a bigger and faster database. Thank you for your attention!

Or import from Genius, since they’re always more reliable.

All the time I see wrong lyrics, then i click report on my phone, since the button doesnt exist on pc (which is kinda pathetic), then nothing happens to the lyrics.

If the Musixmatch people are so incompetent that they write FALSE lyrics, which shouldnt even be possible, when your one job is to write said lyrics. 

Sometimes they are missing completely, even for more popular songs.

Even if its just 1 sentence missing, a wrong number or wrong words, it makes the experience worse.

So... let the listeners propose lyrics or give a better or more specific menu for mobile AND for PC to report wrong lyrics, like giving time stamps so its easier to edit for the moderators. You can also let the listeners write the missing/wrong lyrics correction and have close to no work at all. Would be dope if something that actually works got added, unlike this useless create button which takes up unnecessary space.

I support this idea so often I find new music with no lyrics when I can understand them so clearly I'd be able to write them out myself! I'd love the option to be able to do that and also learn the lyrics I can't quite grasp from the help of my fellow lyric masters 😊
