Logging into Spotify

Lyricify 4 only supports Spotify, so you must complete Spotify authorization to use Lyricify 4 properly.
This step will automatically open the Spotify authorization webpage in your web browser, where you need to complete the authorization. After completing the authorization, the webpage will display the following message:

Success!
Spotify authorization successful. You can now close this tab and return to Lyricify.

At this point, return to the Lyricify welcome screen, and you should see a message saying Successfully connected to Spotify. If you see Spotify authorization completed, please wait a few seconds, it means the Spotify authorization is complete, and Lyricify is registering with the server; just wait a few seconds.
Finally, click the Continue button to start your new Lyricify experience.

Main Interface and Playback

If you are playing music on any device logged into that Spotify account, the lyrics for the track will be displayed in Lyricify’s Lyrics interface.

If you are not playing music on Spotify, the Lyricify Home will appear. If you are in the Lyrics interface, you can also hide the Lyrics interface using the first microphone icon in the control area at the bottom right, which will then display the Lyricify Home.

If you are not playing any music and there are no online Spotify devices, clicking the play button below or the play button in the Lyricify Home will have no effect. If you want to use Lyricify to play music directly without Spotify, you can refer to Using Lyricify’s Built-in Playback.
