[Feature Request]: Synced lyrics per words
Preflight Checklist
- [x] I use the latest version of YouTube Music (Application).
- [x] I have searched the issue tracker for a feature request that matches the one I want to file, without success.
Problem Description
my lyrics arent synced with words of the singer
Proposed Solution
so u can make the lyrics synced by words like in "beautiful lyrics" of spicetify or apple music
Alternatives Considered
or u can make it like it doesnt show like it will do a small fade to the lyrics
Additional Information
No response
"my lyrics aren't synced word-by-word"
Well, find a lyrics provider that has an open API or at least can be reliably scraped, and we'll add it.
Musixmatch requires an API key. Spotify requires an account (iirc).
What else?

https://github.com/surfbryce/beautiful-lyrics can this work or this https://github.com/lyricstify/api or this https://github.com/Spikerko/Lyrjs_CW (idk much abt lyrics api but if they doesnt work i can try finding more)
First link is a Spicetify plugin, that uses the built-in lyrics of Spotify.
Second link is for line-by-line lyrics, according to the docs at least.
Third link I can't access the API because for some reason cloudflare blocks me.
+ Spotify is not a great source for lyrics, since it has a tiny library compared to YouTube.
Musixmatch would be better, but we'd have to find a way of getting the data.

Yw broo it's actually the first time helping someone and I'm really glad that I helped in this amazing community and I thank u soo much that listened and didn't js ignore like some other open source app devs
Edit: I think I found what I wanted.
~~Unfortunately it doesn't seem like I can get synced lyrics, not even line-by-line.~~ ~~Will have to dive deeper into their API.~~
~~for now I can only get plain lyrics~~

I got it to work for line-by-line lyrics, still haven't figured out how to make it work with word-by-word lyrics.

Have you checked this https://docs.musixmatch.com/lyrics-api/track/track-richsync-get?
Have you checked it? It's clearly for enterprise customers, and requires an API key.
Even if we did get an API key, how would we use it w/o exposing it to the end user?
Or are you suggesting that we tell the user to acquire an enterprise API key themselves?

~~I saw matcher.track.get, track.lyrics.get and track.subtitle.get there so I assumed it should also work with the same access.~~
~~Where did you read that it is for enterprise?~~
I saw that you use apic-desktop.musixmatch.com instead of api.musixmatch.com now.
I created an account just to express my gratitude to the developer and this energetic community of selfless alpha gigachad coders. i just have couple questions:
- is the synced lyrics feature implemented yet? i have not downloaded the app yet and would love to spare myself 200mb if the feature is not mainstream yet. my bandwith and speed are limited.
- what release should i download for windows 64-bit (what's the difference)? "YouTube-Music-3.9.0.exe" or "YouTube-Music-Web-Setup-3.9.0.exe" thanks in advance <3
is the synced lyrics feature implemented yet?
We have had synced lyrics since August (edit: time flows fast :skull:), so just grab the latest release! This issue specifically talks about word-by-word sync, but we already have line-by-line sync.

There is a helpful note under each release explaining just that!
I'd recommend grabbing the installer, it is not system-wide, so it installs to your AppData directories.
Do you think you can make a option to allow a user to add their own Musixmatch API key? So that anyone willing to get synced per word lyrics can utilize it? Or is it not possible?
