musiXmatch updates with Karaoke Lyrics for Music, TV & Movie with Better Interface

Looks like recent update of Shazam has kicked in their competitors to innovate and bring in new feature. The first example is the musiXmatch previously called as Lyrics which we listed in our Music Apps.  The app was kind of half-baked then with no auto scrolling and it only used to find lyrics for the songs available on your phone.

In the recent update the app got a major update both in terms of user interface and functionality. The interface now displays Current music played, search and music tagging service in the dashboard.

Lyrics:

If a music is already playing, you are just one tap away to read the lyrics. The lyrics are update line-after-line (compact mode) when you are in the song mode. In this you mode you also get access to player controls and a nice album cover. Tap the menu bar to get access to the full lyrics view which auto scrolls.

I tested it around with couple of songs and found for some of the songs the lyrics is one line behind than where it should have been. For some it worked perfectly.

Music / Movie and TV Tagging:

You can now discover music by letting the app listen to the song which is either playing around you or on your friend’s mobile. The real fun comes in when you find a music lyrics can be read instantly. Imagine couple of friends using the same app then can all get to read the lyrics while one plays it. Karaoke!!!

What is amazing here is that auto scrolling lyrics can pick up even if you are in middle of the song which is going to happen in most of the cases. Really impressed here.

One thing which I really did not like about tagging is the history section. It only appears when you connect it with your Facebook account.

According to Mark the app should also work also for movies and series on TV. Also thanks to  @EasyPeasyJD for the tweet.

Play to Bluetooth Speakers

Apart from these there are some cool options hidden in the menu where you find Full Lyrics option. If you have Bluetooth speaker you can choose to connect with it using the Bluetooth option in menu. For once I thought it was music sharing but when it failed for even Lumia devices its clear that it can be used for playing music over Bluetooth speakers.

Overall it is an amazing update from musixMatch and we hope to get more from other apps too. You can download this by following the link or by scanning the QR code below.
