Our computer is more than a work tool, and it is also very useful for our leisure. One of the most used functions is the ability to listen to music. Sometimes we may miss the ability to read the lyrics of the songs we are listening to. For this we can use players that have this capacity, as well as use programs that offer this possibility either to listen to music from Spotify or from the Media Player.
Reading the lyrics of the songs that sound is one of the functions that are most missed by music lovers, and it is not a possibility that we can find by default among the most popular players, so we will have to take hand of other applications if we want to enjoy this possibility.
Many of these programs are responsible for displaying the lyrics found in the metadata of the songs. In other cases, they will be in charge of obtaining the lyrics from specialized websites such as lyrics.wikia.com, musixmatch.com, azlyrics.com, lyricsmania.com, lyrics.com , among others.
Music players with lyrics
Next, we are going to see some players with music that among their functions have the possibility of playing the songs with the lyrics, being compatible with different audio formats, so that we do not have problems playing our favorite music while we read the lyrics.
GOM Audio, read synced song lyrics
We are facing a free music player which has among its functions the possibility of reading the synchronized lyrics when playing the song tracks. It has a separate letter bar for the desktop that can be moved anywhere on the screen. It also has the possibility of loading an LRC file (file containing the lyrics) and being able to synchronize it with the playback of the audio track. It has several options to configure the preferences of the letters. It allows us to configure the font of the lyrics, the color, the transparency effect and prioritize the lyrics data of the ID3 tags, as well as edit any lyrics of a song.

LyricsFetcher, plugin compatible with iTunes and Windows Media
This add-on is in charge of finding the lyrics of any song that we are going to play from our computer, by connecting to the iTunes or Windows Media Player libraries. From them it obtains the data that we can download so that they are reproduced while we listen to them. The add-on is responsible for storing the downloaded lyrics locally so it will not be necessary to repeat the action once downloaded. If we use iTunes or Windows Media Player it is an interesting option to be able to read the lyrics of the songs that sound.

See lyrics in Spotify songs
For users who prefer to listen to their favorite music in streaming through Spotify, you can also use the popular program to view the lyrics while the songs are playing. This is possible by installing complementary applications that will be in charge of showing us the lyrics of the songs that sound on the famous music platform.
Musixmatch, shows the lyrics of Spotify songs
It is a free application that we download from the Microsoft Store and that offers compatibility with Spotify. We simply have to run it so that it synchronizes with the popular streaming music platform. Once we play the songs, it will show the lyrics in its own interface. It also has Play and Pause buttons, as well as a timeline to move forward and backward. In addition, it has a function that allows us to improve the synchronization of the lyrics or improve it manually in case it is not reproduced correctly.

It is also possible to zoom on the letter and establish a focus mode that allows us to eliminate any element related to the user interface so that we can focus on the letter without distractions.
We can download Versefy for free from the Windows Store.
What program to read song lyrics to use?
When choosing a program with which to read the lyrics of the songs while they sound, we must consider what type of application we need. Based on this, we can choose a player that has this function, install an add-on for our favorite player or choose an application that offers compatibility with Spotify.
If we have no problem using another player, GOM Audio is surely the ideal option since it has everything you need in a single application. If we do not mind installing a plugin, MiniLyrics , it may be the preferred option, given the large number of players with which it is compatible.
