I actually would program or design or write with Spotify playing in the background, the rhythm helps me focus. The problem would be that I'm singing along and suddenly there's a verse I don't catch that totally throws me off until I google the lyrics. Interestingly, that's what prompted me to make my first open-source library last year, I made it for myself but now it's got ~41k downloads so I think others might go something similar too.
📃 Get lyrics of currently playing Spotify song so you don't sing along with the wrong ones and embarrass yourself later.
SwagLyrics-For-Spotify
Fetches the currently playing song from Spotify on Windows, Linux and macOS and displays the lyrics in the command-line or in a browser tab
Refreshes automatically when song changes. The lyrics are fetched from Genius
Turns out Deezer already has this feature in-built but with swaglyrics, you can have it in Spotify as well.
I'm mainly trying to build this project as far as I can,
for practice and to learn and work with more technologies and platforms.
Initially developed this for personal use. Pretty much functionality oriented -- I usually develop something that I
can see helping me and other users in the same situation.
Packaged so I can first hand handle production-ready code to an extent and to make
distribution and usage easier.
Installation
Requires Python3. Use pip or pip3 depending on your installation. You might want to use the --user flag on Linux to
avoid…

Thanks! I've spent more time working on it now than I actually use it 😂
