Musixmatch is billed as “the world’s largest lyrics platform”. Spotify says it plans to make ‘improvements’ to its lyrics support in the future, but over a year on we’re yet to hear so much as squeak about the how and when.īut the Musixmatch app fills the lyrical void in the meantime - and it works well on Linux.
