Spotify is targeting would-be karaoke stars with a new feature that encourages you to sing along to songs at your computer.
Starting from today and rolling out gradually over the coming weeks, Spotify will be introducing lyrics to its desktop app, which will be powered by Musixmatch — a platform that provides officially licensed lyrics via its API.
Musixmatch has actually offered full Spotify support before, via its own Musixmatch mobile app, as well as through a Spotify-specific app. Now, however, Spotify is bringing Musixmatch front-and-center by reeling its gargantuan lyrics database directly into the main Spotify client.
So now you can sing along to your heart’s content without any half-hearted mumbles to disguise the fact that, well, you don’t know all the words to your favorite tunes. You will see a lyrics button assigned to each track you listen to — hit that, and you’re good to go.
Has anyone tried it out yet?
Some the "lyrics" and the accuracy is...questionable.
