Lyrics-Finder

AppleScript made for Alfred and Spotify

How to use

1. Play any song in Spotify
2. Launch Alfred. In my case press option + space
3. Type lyrics and press enter
4. Safari will now open and show you the lyrics

How it works

This is a very basic/"manual" script. It does the following:

1. Use Spotify API to get current artist and current track
2. Open Safari
3. Open Genius and search for current track.
   • I found that this could be done by entering the URL "http://genius.com/search?q=" + track_name + " " + track_artist
4. Simulate a click on the most popular result.
5. Simulate cmd + shift + r to get into reading view

Potential improvements

1. Automated scroll so that it follows the Lyrics.
   • It may be possible to do this simply by comparing length of the song and length of lyrics, and then setting a fixed scroll speed.
