Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/aome510/spotify-player/issues/155

Genius is being aggressive on some regions, result in unable to get lyrics with current lyric_finder crate.

Some logs like

 30:2023-03-04T12:08:13.305693Z ERROR client_request{request=GetLyric { track: "Kill V. Maim", artists: "Grimes" }}: spotify_player::client::handlers: Failed to handle client request: failed to get lyric for track Kill V. Maim - artists Grimes: error decoding response body: expected value at line 1 column 1: expected value at line 1 column 1

It would be nice to have some alternative lyrics source like musixmatch or netease.

Some sources -
spicetify

spotify-qt
