Lyrics are missing for free users

[XLEK]

on spotify it is showing i need premium to see lyrics 💀💀

[rianne23]

Yes!

[Cam46]

This is gonna make me switch to some other music app Spotify is going way too far

[#4]

In almost every single song i cant see the lyrics and they used to show them, its not the premium thing, it jus appears that there arent any lyrics to see but i tried it on anorher account and they appear, i also tried on my laptop and they doesnt appear neither

[Tatva]

No, I use the web and it doesn't work, for specific songs, the authors choose if they want to make it free or premium ig

[Paris7even]

The words we're referring to are gatekeeping words. They are the specific words we want to emphasize. I understand your concern about individuals receiving only $0.003 to $0.005 per stream. However, I fail to grasp how you can question, "How low can people stoop?" and consider yourself superior to everyone else. I would like to shift the focus to the words underlying the transition to something that I personally enjoy or that thousands or millions of people appreciate. It's not a matter of being "greedy" since this was previously a free feature. Previously, we were "supporting the artist" by providing them with $0.003 per stream. I cannot just send Lil Uzi Vert $100 on Cash App and advise him to stay safe; it doesn't work like that. Spotify takes a cut, their label takes a cut, and they take a cut as well. Additionally, individuals like me enjoy free things, such as listening to a podcast featuring only Nostalgia Ultra songs. Real funny, aint it?

[The_Blazing123]

[belvedra]

you have to pay, to see, i mean, okay atleast you can kind of see before paying

but you need to pay to read??? how about the deaf people...!?

[Evan99]

Fr tho like I wanna see the lyrics

[Jesse677]

If you guys want to get lyrics for all songs and for free, as well as some extra perks I would recommend Spicetify.

Spicetify is an add on to Spotify which allows you to install different themes and extensions, all for free.

You can change the theme, get a free AD Blocker and also get lyrics for all songs for free.

This picture shows my custom theme which I installed, and me getting synced lyrics for free.
Also on the sidebar, you should be able to see I have extra options one of them is the marketplace, which is where you install extensions and themes, the other one is statistics which is just an extension I installed from the marketplace.

The installation does require some basic knowledge on how to use the Command Prompt (CMD), but it shouldn't be beyond anyone, as long as you read the installation steps well.

PS: I don't think you can get banned for this (I haven't)

You know what that's dumb? I am actually gonna stop using it now. I'm gonna just use a different Music app.

[Powerplaylist]

At this rate well need premium just to listen even WITH ads

[Moglurine]

And they wonder why people pirate music? They give us a service that has ads, lower quality audio than the music I can just download and are removing the only things that made the service useful. And I can't listen offline. Why should I use spotify?

Hi Folks,
Thanks for coming to the Community.
At Spotify, we’re always testing and iterating. This means the availability of our features can vary across tiers and between markets and devices. Over the coming weeks, we’ll be expanding Lyrics availability for Spotify Free users so more people can enjoy viewing more lyrics, globally.

for people that are poor and learned english because of the lyrics like me it´s really sad

[CoquetteKisses]

Same here!!! Even before this weird 'test' for the lyrics, I couldn't see lyrics at all!! The lyrics only showed up for certain songs. (which I think is pretty stupid imp) For example, I played Sippy Cup just for the start one time, and I was shocked to see there were no lyrics! Today, I googled to see if it was gonna be temp, but I only found this. I scrolled down and found many replies with people who are in the same situation as me. I think they should give the lyrics back, I'm on a Lenovo and I can shuffle and unshuffle songs, enable repeat, play certain songs, and play certain songs in playlists without using the sample feature. Although, on my phone, I can do any of those things. It's VERY annoying. Please bring back lyrics for free users!! Thank you (if you actually bring it back)!!

[Jennermoss]

I have the same problem. 

[Panhakun]

yeah sometime they dont appear but some songs does work for lyrics.I dont know what songs you're listening too but the songs i listen alot of them have lyrics

[Panhakun]

[taylor1277]

How come I can't see lyrics for Metallica Guns and Roses and Whitesnake in the free version?
