I was watching Lollapalooza from home and wanted to sing along. So I built FrontLine Lyrics, an always-on-top Windows overlay that shows synchronized lyrics for whatever is playing on your PC.
When Windows exposes track information (Spotify, browsers, etc.), it reads the title, artist, and playback position directly. When there's no metadata, it records a short snippet of system audio, identifies the song with Shazam, and fetches synced lyrics from LRCLIB.
I'm coming from a biotechnology background and recently started studying Systems Analysis and Development. This project has been my way of learning C#, WPF, async Python, WebSockets, and Windows APIs by solving a real problem.
It's open source and free on the Microsoft Store.
