I believe that using a method to lyrics like innertune would be a good way to go about this. Eg. Choosing where to fetch lyrics from

It would be better to have an automated selection of lyrics where if a song lyric isn't available in Spotify, it switches automatically to a different provider till it finds lyrics of the song.
This reduces user interaction and constantly selecting different providers to find lyrics of various songs which can be annoying for the user.

The respective backend endpoint, set via patch options can do that. It's easier than writing a patch
