Lyricfier is an electron app that communicates  with Spotify Desktop Client to get the current song and then looks for a matching lyric scraping the web.

## Download pre-release

Go to [Lyricfier releases page](https://github.com/emilioastarita/lyricfier/releases) and download the zip file for your platform.

## Development setup

```

# clone the repo

git clone https://github.com/emilioastarita/lyricfier.git

# change dir

cd lyricfier

# take some coffee and download all the internet with yarn

yarn install

```

## Run dev

```

yarn start

```

## How it works

We retrieve the current song of spotify client using the spotify built-in web server that allow us to ask for the current status of the player.

The built-in web server could run in a range of ports starting at 4370. Lyricfier will launch multiple connections hoping find the actual port.

You can read a more detailed explanation here: [Deconstructing Spotify's built-in HTTP server](http://cgbystrom.com/articles/deconstructing-spotifys-builtin-http-server/)

## Scraping plugins

You can easily write a new scraping plugin. Just look at the folder `render/plugins` for some inspiration.
