The API used to work perfectly fine, now it only shows unsynced lyrics and only 5 at a time.

Example: {"error":false,"syncType":"UNSYNCED","lines":[{"startTimeMs":"0","words":"Baby, baby","syllables":[],"endTimeMs":"0"},{"startTimeMs":"0","words":"There will always be a space for you and me","syllables":[],"endTimeMs":"0"},{"startTimeMs":"0","words":"Right where you left it","syllables":[],"endTimeMs":"0"},{"startTimeMs":"0","words":"And just maybe","syllables":[],"endTimeMs":"0"},{"startTimeMs":"0","words":"Enough time will pass","syllables":[],"endTimeMs":"0"}]}

Probably related, the web browser version of the spotify player shows the lyrics not synced as well. It seems to work fine in the app though.

@akashrchandran commented on GitHub (May 11, 2024):

It seems that Spotify has finally made lyrics a premium feature. Even in the Spotify app, I am getting the same thing. I have the latest version, haven't check old build it may be still working.
