Would be great to have an API to retrieve song lyrics, with proper time codes.
Looks like it's possible as this js package does it.

This is in the new-api branch that is currently being developed: #891

Thanks for the link though, it's got a more basic HTTP lyrics endpoint as well as a search endpoint that I will implement.

The APIs are now in dev (see the spclient) and return a JSON response. I intend to add a native Rust struct in metadata later. Some work on this was already done in the new-api discussion, feel free to contribute! (also a great starting point for Rust or librespot newcomers)
