Instalyrics For Mac

Reading the lyrics for songs that use other languages than the one you speak natively can be a real eye opener. Instalyrics is a minimalist status bar menu application that offers you the tools to find the texts without wasting too much time.

In fact, Instalyrics takes care of everything almost instantly as long as you are using certain music services such as iTunes, YouTube, Spotify, Rdio, Radium, GrooveShark, Last.fm and Sonara.

However, take into account that the app works with Rdio and GrooveShark only if you are using them in Safari. The sane rule applies for YouTube and Last.fm, except the supported browser list in this case includes Chrome and Camino.

Specifically, Instalyrics stays out of your way in the menu bar and displays a small search bar when you press its icon. There you can input the name of the track and Instalyrics automatically opens a new page in your Safari browser containing the song lyrics.

If you are using one of the supported music services, all you have to do is press the icon and Instalyrics automatically extracts the song name and launches the search process. Take into account that the song title must be accurate for Instalyrics to work properly.

What’s more, Instalyrics includes a connection assistant that allows you to establish a link between the desktop application and the Instalyrics app for iOS. This way, you can read the lyrics for the current song on your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch. Optionally, you can set a password to authorize the connection.

All things considered, Instalyrics is a great tool for finding lyrics regardless of the tracks language. On the other hand, even though the app is able to work with a wide collection of music services, some users might feel constraint by the limited browser support.
