MusiXmatch has arguably one of the best collections of lyrics. They have more than 25 million songs in their repository. And her newly updated Android app brings all that lyrical goodness to your phone.
What is better? It’s compatible with apps like Spotify, Rdio, and Play Music, so you don’t even have to switch players to pull up lyrics. Synchronized lyrics for the song you’re playing in any of the compatible players just float across the screen. It all works surprisingly well.
How to use FloatingLyrics with MusiXMatch
The new MusiXMatch Android app is a great music player in its own right. It looks and works very much like the Play Music app, and to me that’s a great thing.
If you prefer, you can just use MusiXmatch’s app to listen to music and watch the scrolling lyrics. But you don’t have to.
To enable FloatingLyrics for supported apps (Spotify, Deezer, rdio, Rhapshody, Play Music), go to the sidebar, go to Ideas -> notifications, and make sure FloatingLyrics Is on.
Now just go to a supported app – my favorite player is Play Music – and start playing a song. Make sure MusiXmatch is running in the background. When you start playing, the floating player will automatically appear and scroll through the lyrics. synchronized in time for the song.
Cool tip: You can double tap the floating bar to take manual scrolling control.
The FloatingLyrics widget is also resizable. Just tap and hold the change size icon at the bottom right and drag your fingers across the screen.
If you use Spotify, you have to go Ideas and turn on Transfer Status.
FloatingLyrics works like Facebook’s chatheads. As the name suggests, FloatingLyrics works like any other floating widget on Android. When active, it hovers over whatever you do on the screen. There is an option to minimize the widget. When minimized, it takes the form of a circular chathead, similar to that of Facebook Messenger. Drag the chat header to the bottom of the screen to close it.
More features in MusiXMatch worth using
Similar to Shazam and SoundHound, MusiXMatch has a live scan utility. Go to the sidebar Music-ID and the app will recognize the song that is playing.

Karaoke-Mode
There is an interesting one Karaoke mode in the app. The app removes (or tries to remove) vocals from the track you’re listening to so you can sing along. The app recommends using headphones for the best effect.
