Question about Lyrics Provider Sources #1175

First of all, thank you for creating Beautiful Lyrics! It's amazing to have access to high-quality lyrics features for free, especially with the advanced synchronization options like word-for-word timing and side vocals.

I've been exploring the technical side of how Beautiful Lyrics works, particularly trying to understand the source of the different types of lyrics. While investigating, I noticed something interesting:

  1. For Spotify's native API, I only see line-by-line synchronized lyrics being retrieved
  2. When checking Musixmatch, some songs have "Richsync" (word-for-word) lyrics, but I've found several cases where:
    • Beautiful Lyrics shows word-for-word synchronized lyrics
    • The same song on Musixmatch doesn't have Richsync available

This made me curious about the source(s) Beautiful Lyrics is using, especially for:

  • Word-for-word synchronized lyrics
  • Side vocals data

Would you be willing to share some information about which lyrics providers or APIs are being used for these features?

Thanks for your time!

Disclaimer: I'm not a developer of Beautiful Lyrics, nor can I prove that anything I say is true.

Based on my observations, the word-by-word lyrics are sourced from Apple Music.
If you look at Apple Music's lyric design, you can clearly see the similarities.

Personally, I think the developer has done a better job than Apple when it comes to overall presentation and design.
