Plex Media Server: Version 1.42.2.10156 (Windows Based) TL;DR - Lyrics on PlexAmp do not appear to work. I can get them to work in PlexWeb, but the buttons do not show up in PlexAmp v4.12.4 on iOS at all. I ditched my legacy PMS (OS issues and general headache of trying to port everything over) and over the Christmas holiday built a new media server. I cannot confirm if this was working with PlexAmp on the previous server, but I mention it for the fact that this is a net new build. I do remember in the old Plex app (“all in one” before the forced divorce of the apps) that it did work. I frustratingly futzed around quite a bit today trying to get Lyrics to work - I assumed after reading this article: [Automatic Lyrics from LyricFind | Plex Support](https://support.plex.tv/articles/215238778-automatic-lyrics-from-lyricfind/) that I had the wrong metadata agent (because the article doesn’t mention that it appears to be embedded in the Plex Music agent) and couldn’t find the options listed here: [Metadata Agents | Plex Support](https://support.plex.tv/articles/200241558-agents/) because they are ‘legacy’ and have gone through some updates since that article. Should lyrics be working on PlexAmp? [Automatic Lyrics from LyricFind | Plex Support](https://support.plex.tv/articles/215238778-automatic-lyrics-from-lyricfind/) seems to indicate this SHOULD be working… but I can’t tell if it is a reference to the old unified app or that the PlexAmp app should show lyrics. Help? ---

The option to show ( or hide) lyrics is in the menu via the dots on bottom of screen. ![IMG_0065](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/plex/original/4X/e/1/c/e1c1d8e255a42823a1fae92eb768fa2fb5d3797f.jpeg) ![File](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/plex/original/4X/2/8/c/28ce87dbd5f0fbf92bd338b44e663e87ac64039d.jpeg) ---

Always have trouble finding that. Never understood why there isn’t a dedicated lyrics icon ![Screenshot 2026-01-08 at 4.29.09 PM](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/plex/original/4X/c/2/f/c2f21159e4ed9c13e5a6823183d599e26144353b.png) ---

Fair - the complication is that in the “Automatic Lyrics from” article it has a screenshot: [https://support.plex.tv/wp-content/uploads/sites/4/2015/12/▶\_The\_Flaming\_Lips\_-\_Yoshimi\_Battles\_The\_Pink\_Robots\_Part\_1\_🔊.png](https://support.plex.tv/wp-content/uploads/sites/4/2015/12/%E2%96%B6_The_Flaming_Lips_-_Yoshimi_Battles_The_Pink_Robots_Part_1_%F0%9F%94%8A.png) That doesn’t have it hidden behind the … My troubleshooting was also complicated as I went back and forth songs were playing in the background and when I hit the … on one device it was missing, and on another it worked… which was an issue for there being 2 different songs and one of them didn’t have lyrics. Comparing Song to Song across iOS devices - they had lyrics. But yes… as @Tony_T suggests, “hiding” it is an unattractive and confusing ‘feature’. Thank you @BigWheel for putting me on the right track! ---

I’ll ask folks to update screenshots. ---
