Error When Starting Lyricify 4 for Non-Spotify Premium Users

If you see the following message when starting Lyricify 4:

Something went wrong, please check your internet connection or contact the developer
Lyricify will be closed

And you have previously configured a custom API Client, the common reason is that the current account does not have a Spotify Premium subscription.

You can handle this in one of three ways.

Option 1: Subscribe to Spotify Premium

After subscribing, no additional action is needed; simply restart Lyricify to continue using the previously configured custom API Client.

Option 2: Use a Public Client

This method requires you to delete the current login information and then re-authorize the login. Note: In versions 4.3.49 and above, the login information will be automatically deleted, so no manual action is needed.

Deleting Login Information

If you are using a non-store version (regular installation or portable version), or if you have used a non-store version on this device before using the store version, you can find the configuration file for Lyricify 4 at the following path:

%AppData%\Lyricify\Lyricify for Spotify

If you have always used the store version, the configuration file is located at:

%LocalAppData%\Packages\63265WXRIW.Lyricify_8ybqz4qm5hwha\LocalCache\Roaming\Lyricify\Lyricify for Spotify

How to Open These Paths

You can copy the path above and then use one of the following methods to open it:

• Paste the path into the address bar of File Explorer and press Enter
• Press Win + R, paste the path, and press Enter

After opening the corresponding folder, delete Account.json, then restart Lyricify and complete the login authorization.

Note: After re-logging, do not configure the custom API Client again.

Option 3: Borrow a Friend’s Client Information

If your friend has subscribed to Spotify Premium, you can also use the Client created under their account. One Client can be used by up to 5 users.

You need to have them add your Spotify account to the allowed list in the Spotify Developer Dashboard, and then enter the Client information provided by them in your Lyricify. For detailed steps, refer to the “Borrowing a Friend’s Client Information” section in the Custom Spotify API Client Configuration Tutorial.
