There used to be an option where if you press on a song title you you could turn to display lyrics. But that option is now gone. I tried it on songs it used to show lyrics in the past.
Looks like that feature was removed?
From my end it looks like it has been taken away.
This is a song I was looking at the lyrics a few months back.
This shows after pressing on the song title while it’s playing
check on the web app if it still has lyrics. Lyricfind may have lost the rights to distribute them
So you’re saying that Plex pays for the licensing agreement to use LyricFind’s API, but then, if LyricFind no longer can license out the music artists catalogue of lyrics TO Plex, we are the users who get affected? Correct?
That’s more or less correct, yes. Unfortunately this mostly comes down to record labels being shifty and money-hungry, and as far as I understand, there’s not a lot that Plex can do about it.
As an alternative, Plex supports “local” lyrics files so you can BYO lyrics and not have to deal with this in future. More info here:

Normally you guys would have to deal with my passive aggressiveness about something like this but my question above was a legitimate question of what the agreement might have been. I did take notice earlier in the week, asking Elan about the lyrics on PlexAmp being offline. However, unbeknownst to me, didn’t realize perhaps that this may have also occurred.
I don’t mind having a backup plan but didn’t realize I’d run into this situation where lyrics weren’t loading so often. Thanks for the info. I wouldn’t say I need lyrics all the time ( I cant carry a tune nor have great lyrical memory) but I do come across tracks that are in other languages and just want to make sure I’ve gotten the translation right.
