• Lyrics Display

  • View lyrics for the currently playing music. To enable this feature, install the clispot-lyrics tool globally from our github repository. Note that the downloaded binary might have a suffix indicating the OS and CPU architecture (e.g., clispot-lyrics-linux-aarch64). You must rename this binary to clispot-lyrics for clispot to correctly detect it. Once installed, clispot will automatically provide an option to open lyrics for the selected music.

MPRIS Integration (Linux Only)

clispot implements MPRIS2, allowing integration with:

• Desktop environments that support media keys
• Media controllers and widgets
• Keyboard media keys (if configured to use MPRIS)
