Spotify has a pretty good desktop app for Windows 10, but it lacks in one important feature – it does not display music lyrics.

Users have been complaining about the issue for some time, and it appears the company is finally responding.

MSPoweruser reader Alan Laiter has sent us a screenshot where Spotify is teasing “some big improvements to our lyrics feature“, suggesting users stay tuned for updates.

Spotify has actually been testing the feature for about a month, with some screenshots available.

The screenshot suggests the Spotify Desktop app will make a pretty good Karaoke substitute when it finally rolls out.

We understand the lyrics will be supplied by MusicMatch and will be a combination of artist-submitted lyrics and also community-generated entries.

Download Spotify To Desktop

The Spotify desktop app can be downloaded from the Store here.

Thanks, Alan for the tip and screenshots.

Use the app to play music files stored on your device, which we call local files.

Note: Files or downloads from illegal sources are not permitted.

For: Premium

  1. On desktop, import your local files (with the 'Desktop' steps).
  2. Add the files to a new playlist.
  3. Log in on your mobile or tablet using the same WiFi as your desktop.
  4. Go to Settings > Local Files and switch on Local audio files.
    Note: You need to allow Spotify to find devices in the prompt that shows.
  5. Download the playlist with your local files.

  4. Click ADD A SOURCE to select another folder.

Music from that folder is now in Local Files in the menu on the left.

Supported file types

Note: Some of your files may be protected in restricted formats. Install QuickTime on your computer to allow most of these tracks to be played on Spotify.

  • .mp3
  • .m4p (unless it contains video)
  • .mp4 (if QuickTime is installed on your computer)

The iTunes lossless format (M4A) isn't supported.

If your file isn’t supported, we do our best to match it with songs from the Spotify catalog. The version we match with might differ from the original.
