The worst part is that the lyrics they sell are mostly added by volunteers.

Let's wait for the official statement. But if the lyrics are indeed no longer available for free, what are our options?

  1. Find a way to keep scraping lyrics with a free account (very unlikely).
  2. Find a premium account. Honestly, I WOULD even pay for one, but they just won't take my money ¯\(ツ)
  3. Migrate to another lyrics source. lrclib.net looks promising, and that's what my friends use at Harmonoid.

Oh so THAT's why sptlrx stopped working, well, best of luck sorting it out. Corpos are getting unpredictably greedy... Solution-wise I think option 3 is the most long-term feasible option.

it seems 3 the best.

Sorry guys, I will definitely make it work again, but I can't give you any time estimates as I have hardly any free time these days.

I would really appreciate it if someone could submit a PR to lyricsapi with lrclib.net support.
