I think thats actually the server's fault. I went to the link used for Apple Music results(paxsenix.alwaysdata.net/searchAppleMusic.php?q=Your+Text) and got the error: Failed to fetch data after 2 attempts
Hope that the server fixes

Oh the base URL changed and this was actually fixed in this commit
and ofc I'd advise you to download the latest version here until lambada makes a new release

Thank you for your advice.

I installed the latest version of the app and tried searching for a song, and it worked fine.
I also tried the version where this problem had occurred, and searching now works.
Maybe the server issue has been fixed?

No problem ofc!

Yes I just checked and the server that was down is back up now and is working so yes it should work on both versions fine!

I tried the latest debug build and the search worked.
The latest release build isn't fine.

the creator of the apple music lyrics provider is switching the link for getting results quite a lot
when looking through the latest debug changes, the link for the results is now https://lyrics.paxsenix.org/apple-music/lyrics?id=$id

if you can't get the debug version paste this code into google colab for now. im absolutely dumb in coding so chatgpt made it (but it works completely fine):
