Report

The full-screen Now Playing view should be able to show lyrics.

Findings

  • Lyrics already exist in the data model: the lyrics table carries a source column and is catalogued in backend/datamap as MIXED KIND for exactly that reason — a lyric read from a tag is free to rebuild, one fetched from LRCLIB is not.
  • So the fetch/store side is at least partly there; what is missing is the presentation.

Direction

  • A lyrics panel in now-playing-view (which is currently phone-only — see the desktop full-screen issue).
  • Synced lyrics if LRCLIB gives a timed format: the position already arrives at 1 Hz via PlaybackPositionChanged, with seq and trackChangeId on each report and local interpolation between them — a lyric scroller should ride that rather than starting its own clock.
  • Say honestly when there are no lyrics, and where they came from (tag vs. fetched).
