Unfortunately this app no longer works for me.

The app searches for the title of the Spotify window, and this now only says "Spotify Premium".

This means the app is constantly searching for lyrics called "Spotify Premium".

That's odd.
Maybe the artist and the song name are not in the title because you're playing the song on another device? I think I had the same situation some time ago
Spotify Premium detected as song is a real problem. The problem is that didn't experienced this problem and I own Spotify Premium, too. So until you provide me a detailed description how to reproduce it, I can nothing do.

There are certain moments that I get this behaviour. For instance, when I change from an album to another and play a song, it won't refresh the title until I get to the next song and I go back to the previous one. The same thing when I try to play one song from the search results or artist pages. Always the first one.

With first one I mean, the first song after I change the view in Spotify, not the first in the list.

Of course, the problem is Spotify not updating their window title.

What about this library? https://github.com/SwagLyrics/SwSpotify

Edit: nevermind, tested and same result:

Is there a way to gather the name from the "music volume" panel? At least in Windows 10. It always work

Yes, the SwSpotify library uses the same method to get the current playing song.

Interesting idea to get the information from this panel. The problem is, I don't even know how it is properly called so I don't know how to find a way to get the information.

Another idea is to use the api spotify provides. A downside would be a lot network requests because we would have to check for song changes and the user must connect the program with spotify.

I personally would prefer to use your idea.
