Play songs by their lyrics

[sirpooya]

Adding feature "Search by Lyrics" & #play it instantly. It could use lyric search engines to fetch song name. This is very useful since Spotify itself doesn't have this feature. And when we forget song name simply play it by the catchy lyric words we remember! like : spotify play lyric kiki do you love me --> Plays Drakes "In My Feelings"

This is a cool idea. Would you be willing to try implementing it? :)

[sirpooya]

Actually No, it is just an idea I had.

How to implement this?

[hnarayanan]

Pretty much exactly how sirpooya described it.

Love the idea, there is a lot of potential for false positives (lyrics aren't that unique).

Perhaps after search you show a menu of the top 5 song names, and choose which to play?

I'm stretched for time but would be interested in attempting to implement this.

Timeliness is not at all an issue in this project, do try when you can. 😸

This is a cool idea, but not possible with standard Spotify APIs. Integration with a third party (like musicmatch or genius as @hnarayanan suggested) is a must.

I do think this will generate a lot of false positives, but could be helpfull to find a track where you only remember one line of.

I'll first see if I can add a lot of the default Spotifiy APIs to shpotify, but it would be a fun project for 'later' ;)
