What is FrontLine Lyrics?

FrontLine Lyrics is a always-on-top overlay for Windows that listens to whatever is playing on your system and shows synced lyrics in real time, Spotify, YouTube, Apple Music, a local media player, or anything else that comes out of your speakers. It works two ways, it can automatically follow the track info exposed by Windows' native media session (title, artist, playback position), and it can also listen to your system audio directly and recognize the song with Shazam, so it still works with sources that don't expose media metadata at all.

  • Automatic track detection: via Windows Media Session (SMTC) reads title, artist and playback position straight from any compatible player, with no manual input.
  • Audio-fingerprint recognition: as a fallback/primary source, records a snippet of system audio (WASAPI loopback) and identifies the song with Shazam.
  • Auto mode: continuously re-listens and re-syncs as tracks change, with adaptive retry backoff and a cooldown guard against false "previous track" triggers.
  • Synced lyrics display: an always-on-top, transparent, draggable overlay window that scrolls lyrics in time with the music.
  • Pause-aware sync: pausing the track pauses the lyrics scroll too, so everything stays perfectly aligned when playback resumes.
  • Live translation: translate the displayed lyrics into English, Spanish, French, Portuguese, or a romanized transliteration, resolved in parallel across multiple translation backends for reliability.
  • Manual search: look up lyrics and cover art by artist/song name when you'd rather not rely on auto-detection.
  • Playback shortcuts: previous/next track controls built right into the lyrics view, plus manual sync-time adjustment, all without leaving the overlay.
  • Customizable overlay: adjustable font size and a compact/expanded layout.
  • Multi-language UI: interface available in English, Portuguese, and Spanish.
