Tags read from the file
Pine Player reports the artist and album as one line, and only the file name when a song has no tags. Lyrimuse reads the artist, album and exact length from the file it's playing.
Pine Player lyrics, under the notch and in the menu bar.
Pine Player is free and plays nearly any format. Lyrimuse finds the lyrics and shows them under the notch, in the menu bar or on the desktop.
Made for Pine Player
Timing to the split second
Pine Player only reports whole seconds. With Accessibility permission, Lyrimuse reads its progress bar, so the lyrics land on time after you skip or pause.
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.
Repeat, volume and the next songs
The repeat button in the lyrics window switches Pine Player's own repeat mode, and volume follows along. Lyrimuse reads your playlist, on shuffle too, so the next songs' lyrics are ready before they start. These need Accessibility permission.
No sign-in
There's no account involved. Pick Pine Player 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
