Auto Lyrics

An Android Auto app that displays synced lyrics for the currently playing song, powered by LRCLIB.

Features

- Synced lyrics on Android Auto — shows the current lyric line with surrounding context, updated in real-time. - Works with any music player — Spotify, YouTube Music, Apple Music, Poweramp, etc. - Phone companion view — see lyrics on your phone screen too. - Automatic song detection — picks up whatever is playing via media session APIs. - Multi-strategy lyrics lookup — tries exact match first, falls back to keyword search.

Limitations

- Android Auto app categories: The app registers as an IoT-category Car App. For Google Play distribution, it would need to pass Android Auto app review. - Lyrics availability: Not all songs have synced lyrics on LRCLIB. The app will show "No synced lyrics available" for missing tracks. - Player compatibility: Most major music players expose media sessions correctly. Some niche players may not provide full metadata. - Streaming quality tags: Some music apps (YouTube Music, Tidal, etc.) inject quality info like "Lossless" or "Hi-Res" into metadata fields. The app strips these automatically, but unusual formats may slip through. - Sideloaded apps on Android Auto: Developer mode must be enabled in Android Auto settings to see sideloaded apps. See setup instructions above.
