Your own lyrics too
A .lrc file with the same name as the song, or lyrics saved inside the file, are picked up, and you can have them win over online sources.
The classic player from Windows, now on the Mac. Lyrimuse finds the lyrics for your library and shows them under the notch, in the menu bar or on the desktop.

With Accessibility permission, shuffle, repeat and volume appear in the lyrics window and work foobar2000's own menu and slider. Play, pause and skip still reach it while a browser video holds the media keys.
Lyrimuse reads the playlist you're playing and follows your repeat setting, so the next songs' lyrics are ready before they start.
No tags? The file name is split into artist and title. Change the playback speed and the lyrics keep pace.
There's no account involved. Pick foobar2000 in the setup guide and you're set.
Everything else works the same in all fourteen players: desktop lyrics, the capsule under the notch, the menu bar, the Touch Bar, the Lyrics Window, translations, pronunciations and Last.fm scrobbling. Try it on the home page
