TypeError: list indices must be integers or slices, not str

Hello,

While running a loop with syncedlyrics.search(), I sometimes face the following issue:

lrc = syncedlyrics.search("Synthetic Dream lextrical", allow_plain_format=True)
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
File "/anaconda3/lib/python3.11/site-packages/syncedlyrics/__init__.py", line 59, in search
_l = provider.get_lrc(search_term)
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
File "/anaconda3/lib/python3.11/site-packages/syncedlyrics/providers/musixmatch.py", line 120, in get_lrc
tracks = body["track_list"]
~~~~^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
TypeError: list indices must be integers or slices, not str

my code:

for index, row in combined_data.iterrows():
    song = row['combined'] 
    lyrics = syncedlyrics.search(song, allow_plain_format=True)  
    data.at[index, 'lyrics'] = lyrics

What partially helped me was time.sleep(180) after each error and retrying the same values before skipping, yet it does not always work.

Hi,
Apparently It is because of captcha request from MusixMatch,. You can clone the repo for latest changes that I just made so you can test again and please let me know if the problem persisted.

Can you implement it so that the return code for not finding lyrics is different than the return code for this error?
It makes the wrapper for this function not know the difference. If there isn't a lyric, I want to move on. If there is an API issue, I want to wait and retry.

@jagauthier You can somehow grab all the info with the logs (-v or setting level to debug), but in case of API error, it checks the next providers so you would not get a limit most likely. Why would you wait for API limits when there are other providers?

Maybe I am using it wrong, but in my code:

    print(f"Seeking: '{artist}', '{title}', {fullpath}")
    try:
        lrc = syncedlyrics.search(f"{artist} {title}", allow_plain_format=True, save_path=lrc_file_name, providers=providers)
    except TypeError:
        type_error = True
    except:
        lrc = None
        other_exception = True

where
providers = ["NetEase", "LrcLib", "Musixmatch", ]

It only ever uses MusixMatch. I've never got a lyric hit from one of the other providers.
If I change the providers and remove MusixMatch then use a extremely popular artist and album (Taylor Swift and Midnights)

providers = ["NetEase", "LrcLib" ]

I get no lyrical hits.
