Lyrics not showing
-
I am using Strawberry on MX Linux and lyrics stopped showing months ago, probably a year. Does they work for anyone?

Depends on the version you use and what providers you have enabled in the settings. Genius requires a login.
If you use an older release than 1.0.19, most of the providers no longer works, at least of the good ones.
Many of the lyrics providers are broken in the 1.0.23 release, at least azlyrics, musixmatch and lyricsmode.com are no longer working. azlyrics and musixmatch have been fixed and lyricsmode.com is removed. But I have not relased a new version with these fixes.
There are no providers with a good API available for open source software, so we mostly rely on scraping HTML pages, which will break once they change their layout of the website, or just different methods to try and stop automatic use of the lyrics.
