lyrics

I would like to see the lyrics while I’m playing a song in my Sonos app. Normally I use Spotify. 
 

is it possible?

The Sonos App does not display lyrics - however I’d like to see this feature added too.

Silly but when I really, really want to see lyrics on my Sonos I fire up the TV and the Amazon Music App on it.

Spouse isn’t fond of music from the home-theater system when she is listening to something else. That actually is good, as she was much happier to see my Sonos Ace appear so I can use the TV and them to get my fix without impacting her.

 

Maybe Sonos could develop a little LCD screen that would plug into the USB port on newer Sonos and give us a mini display of what is playing or lyrics.

Sonos has their own API, and generally speaking, music services come in to Sonos via the Sonos API.  It would be very cumbersome if Sonos had to use a different API for every music service it supports.  That said, I wouldn’t be surprised if some of the larger streaming services, like Apple, are an exception.
