[Your Library] Lyrics in offline mode

When I download songs to be able to listen them offline, I would like lyrics to also be downloaded. Currently internet connection is required to view the lyrics even if a song is downloaded. Competitor apps have the lyrics available in offline mode

Thanks again for your suggestion. We really appreciate it 🙂

I'd love to be able to read the lyrics of my downloaded music when I'm offline (displayed in the same way they are right now). Just like we can stream AND/OR download video to go with Joe Rogan, I think we should be able to stream AND/OR download lyrics for songs. Let me know if you need further elaboration.

I am aware this has been suggested before, but each of the topics were closed, so I thought I would bump this.

 

I listen to a lot of Spotify offline as I don't have much mobile data. Sometime, I just want to know what someone says in their song, so I want to be able to see the lyrics. Realistically, lyrics for each song should only take a maximum of 50 kilobytes for each song, and that's for timings (done like subtitle files, image attached). For most songs, it should only take 5 kilobytes, meaning a thousand song lyrics should only take 5 megabytes. It could be an optional extra, it would just be nice to have the option. Realistically, it shouldn't be too hard to implement, as they already have a deal with Musixmatch for providing lyrics, and if that falls through, there are so many other lyrics sites out there that could potentially provide Spotify with a good deal.

How many votes are needed for prioritisation. Offline lyrics is essential for offline international music.
