Requires a modified Discord client (BetterDiscord or Vencord) and violates Discord's terms of service as self-botting.
DiscordLyrics is a plugin for modified Discord clients that shows the current lyrics of whatever you are playing on Spotify as your Discord custom status. As a song plays, the status updates line by line in sync with the lyrics. When Spotify is paused, it falls back to showing the last detected track name and artist. The plugin works by reading your Spotify activity from Discord (which Discord shows publicly as your activity status) and then looking up the matching lyrics from LRCLIB, a public lyrics database. When the active lyric line changes, it sends a status update to Discord. The plugin is designed to avoid hitting Discord's rate limits by updating only when the lyric actually changes rather than on a fixed timer. The project supports two flavors of modified Discord client: BetterDiscord and Vencord (including Equicord and Dorian-style source clients). A Windows installer script is available that detects which client you have installed and puts the plugin in the right place automatically. If you prefer to set things up manually, a complete package with both builds is also available from the releases page. The README is straightforward about one important point: using this plugin counts as self-botting, which violates Discord's terms of service. The author notes it should be used responsibly. To get lyrics working, Spotify needs to be connected to Discord and visible as your activity. The track title and artist name also need to match the LRCLIB database. The project is written in TypeScript and released under the MIT license.
