Led to this problem:
Seems to have started recently (within the past few weeks). No specific action on my part caused it.
Setup
- OS: Linux
- Python version: 3.11.8
- beets version: 1.6.0
- Turning off plugins made problem go away (yes/no): n/a (turning off lyrics plugin would be irrelevant, no other plugins are currently loaded in the test environment)
My configuration (output of beet config) is:
lyrics:
bing_lang_from: []
sources: genius musixmatch
auto: yes
bing_client_secret: REDACTED
bing_lang_to:
google_API_key: REDACTED
google_engine_ID: REDACTED
genius_api_key: REDACTED
fallback:
force: no
local: no
directory: /home/fmillion/Music
library: beets.db
plugins: lyrics
I am also having trouble getting lyrics with Beets.
When I use musixmatch every request will get a 404 (maybe they added some sort of verification? the python code r = requests.get("https://www.musixmatch.com/lyrics/<artist>/<song>") will have status code 404 even if the lyrics exist and I can visit them on my browser)
When I use lrclib it won't even try to fetch the lyrics, skipping straight to "lyrics not found" without any request in the logs.
Here's my config:

Musixmatch is broken, see https://github.com/beetbox/beets/issues/4585
Closing it since Genius backend has been fixed in #5352 while musixmatch issue is covered by #4585
