Get the lyrics to songs as you play them with Lyrics App

Seriously, this happens to me all the time. I’m listening to a song on my Android, since it’s my primary MP3 player, and I’ll run across a lyric I want to look up. Maybe it’s because I find the line particularly meaningful, or maybe, because I listen to a lot of metal, I can’t understand it. Either way, this oftentimes means a run-in with the worst types of sites on the internet. No one wants to visit a lyrics site. They flash, they pop up, and they’re generally obnoxious. That’s why I’m immediately installing Lyrics App. It shows me the lyrics to my currently playing song. Now, instead of going to a lyrics site, I just have to drag down the notifications bar, and there it is. I can click right into it, and there are the lyrics to the song. Then I can have satisfaction in knowing the lyrics, either for my own knowledge, or, if I’m feeling a bit expressive, for the knowledge of my Twitter followers. Either way, it’s a simple way to get lyrics when you want them, without having to look up something in the browser — never mind having to navigate to unpleasant sites that make me cringe every time I visit. The following is a list of media players with which Lyrics App works: Android default player
HTC default player
Winamp
PowerAMP
Meridian
Cubed
DoubleTwist
RealPlayer
Songbird
PlayerPro
Music Player (Social Soft)
Music Mod For some you might have to enable Last.fm scrobbling, but if you’re like me you do this anyway. And yeah, it’s free. You can nab Lyrics App from App Brain.
