## What it is
A Spicetify extension that overhauls the Spotify lyrics experience with live karaoke lyrics, dynamic cover-art backgrounds, and immersive page, cinema, and fullscreen views. It also unlocks lyrics and fullscreen mode for free-tier Spotify users and adds CJK lyric romanization.

## Use cases
- get karaoke-style synced lyrics in Spotify
- show lyrics on Spotify without a Premium subscription
- add dynamic album-art backgrounds to Spotify
- view romanized lyrics for Japanese, Chinese, or Korean songs
- use a fullscreen lyrics view in Spotify
- customize the Spotify lyrics interface with Spicetify

## When to choose
- you use the Spotify desktop client with Spicetify and want a richer lyrics experience
- you're on Spotify Free and want access to synced lyrics and fullscreen mode
- you want karaoke-style word-by-word lyrics with background vocal support

## When to avoid
- you only use Spotify on mobile or the web player, since this requires the desktop client with Spicetify
- you don't want to install Spicetify or modify your Spotify client
- you need an officially supported, unmodified Spotify experience
