Description

Adds a flexible panel with Lyrics to YouTube, Spotify Web Player, Jango, AccuRadio, Deezer, 8tracks, Google Music, iHeartRadio, Superplayer.fm, Last.fm, Music.yandex.ru, Qobuz, SoundCloud, Saavn, Pandora, Bandcamp and other music sites.

This panel can be resized, dragged around and/or closed and contains a search box which allows for looking up *any* lyrics.

A wide range of sources are defined to make sure that you always get the desired lyrics. When the lyrics are incorrect, just click on "Different source" to query the next source. Sources are highly customizable: You can change their order, and even disable them at the preference page.

The preference page is included with the add-on, but can also be found at https://robwu.nl/lyricshere/. This page provides a demo, screenshots and tools to select lyric sources.
