Romanized lyrics on Spotify!!
1 project | /r/kpoppers | 21 Jul 2023

Anyone wondering, I'm using Spicetify on my computer together with some extra extensions to get what the image shows. It works for both Windows & Mac and it's pretty easy and free to set up. If it's highly requested, I can fix a guide on how to fix this. Otherwise, most stuff can be found on https://spicetify.app/docs/getting-started and install lyrics-plus https://github.com/spicetify/spicetify-cli/tree/master/CustomApps/lyrics-plus via the terminal to get the translated lyrics for bare minimum.

[android] [pc] Looking for a Freezer Alternative?

If your on desktop use SpotX, or you cant use Spicetify, the only downside of spicetify is that you cant queue songs unless you already have premium but atleast its highly customizable.
This is a spicetify extension to create a lyrics popup. I have tried to create a similiar popup miniplayer, which does not seem to be working. Coding help required!!
