Lyrixound for Windows

Changelog

Current version: 1.5.5

Updates arrive through the Microsoft Store. Newest release first.

1.5.5

  • Color picker for overlay text and appearance colors.
  • Smoother playback tracking: the Windows media session is requested once, not on every poll. Thanks @dhanjit
  • Website link in the app points to lyrixound.app.

1.5.4

  • In karaoke view, the top bar collapses so lyrics use the full window (including when the overlay is inactive or click-through).
  • Musixmatch can return synced LRC subtitles, not only unsynced text.
  • Genius no longer shows lyrics for a different song when the match is too weak.
  • Better cleanup of YouTube and browser titles (Official Video, VEVO, fullwidth brackets, duplicated artist prefixes). Manual search uses the same cleanup.

1.5.3

  • Lyrixound Pro: Light and Dark mode for the main window, overlay, settings, paywall, and rating reminder. Theme switch in the main window title and in Settings. Without Pro, the switch opens the paywall.
  • Resize the floating overlay from the window edges.
  • Search prefers synced lyrics when a later source has them.
  • Cleanup of YouTube and Windows media titles before search (Official Video, Topic, VEVO, text after a pipe, duplicated “Artist - ” in the title).
  • Fix a crash when stopping audio recognition (system-audio capture).
  • Priority email support for Pro.

1.5.2

  • Genius lyrics provider is on by default (unsynced lyrics).
  • Musixmatch and LrcLib pick a better matching result and prefer synced lyrics when scores are equal.

1.5.1

  • Lyrixound Pro as a one-time Microsoft Store purchase: Light / Dark mode and priority support. Pro tab in Settings, tray menu item, and a button on the rating reminder.
  • Pro icon and window title after purchase.

1.5.0

  • Synced LRC lyrics with an active line and auto-scroll.
  • Default sources: local folders, LrcLib, Musixmatch, and lyrics.ovh.
  • Song recognition from system audio (Shazam), including a manual recognize button.
  • When the track changes, metadata search and audio recognition run together; if metadata finds nothing, the app searches again with the recognized artist and title.
  • Click-through overlay from the tray menu.
  • Appearance: font, size, bold/italic, alignment, text and shadow color, active-line background, shadow depth, blur, floating background opacity, and synced-lyrics time offset.
  • Autosave found lyrics as .lrc or .txt.
  • Rating reminder every third launch until you choose not to show it again.
