There are several devices that can display lyrics on Amazon Music. This time, we will introduce how to display lyrics on the smartphone version application, the desktop version application of PC, and the PC browser.
How to display on a smartphone
There are iPhone and Android smartphone apps, but both have almost the same specifications, so this time we will introduce them on the iPhone screen.
First, play the song for which you want to display the lyrics, and tap the jacket image or title part.
When the playback screen becomes large, the lyrics of the currently flowing part will be displayed at the bottom of the jacket image (in the middle of the screen). In this part, the lyrics change according to the progress of the song. If you want to see the lyrics before and after, or if you want to see them on the big screen, tap the part where the lyrics are displayed. The lyrics before and after are small, and the lyrics of the part that is currently flowing are displayed large and flow upward as the vocal progresses.
Scroll up and down and tap the part of the lyrics you want to listen to, and the song will jump to that part. If you want to exit the lyrics display and return to the playback screen, tap the jacket image on the upper left to return.
How to display with the PC version application
There are Windows and Mac in the desktop version application of PC, but this time we will introduce it on the screen of Windows.
First, play the song for which you want to display the lyrics, and tap the jacket image at the bottom left.
With just this, the screen will switch and the lyrics will be displayed on the right side, and the lyrics will flow upward as the vocal progresses. The lyrics before and after are dimmed, and the part currently flowing is white.
Scroll up and down, move the cursor to the part of the lyrics you want to hear, it will turn blue, and click to jump to that part.
To exit the lyrics display and return to the previous screen, click ✗ on the upper right.
How to display on a PC browser
There are Windows and Mac when using Amazon Music with a PC browser, but this time we will introduce it on the Windows screen. First, play the song for which you want to display the lyrics, and tap the jacket image at the bottom left.
The screen changes and the lyrics are displayed on the right side, and the lyrics flow upward as the vocal progresses. The lyrics before and after are dimmed, and the part currently flowing is white. In the case of the app, I could jump to that point by clicking on the part of the lyrics I like, but I can't jump to that point in the browser.
To exit the lyrics display and return to the previous screen, click ▼ on the upper left.
These are the three ways to display lyrics on Amazon Music.
All of them can be displayed easily, but the browser version of the PC does not allow you to jump to the part of the lyrics you want to listen to, so for the PC, the desktop version of the app is recommended.

Even if you try to display the lyrics while playing a song on Amazon Music, you may not be able to do so. From here, we will introduce the causes when the lyrics are not displayed and the remedies for each.
There are four main causes when the lyrics are not displayed on Amazon Music.
I will explain each of them.
It is a song without lyrics display
Amazon Music supports lyrics display for many songs, but some, but not all, songs do not support lyrics display. Often, songs that have just been delivered and Western music are not yet supported. It seems that it has been a long time since it was delivered, but for some reason the lyrics are not yet supported, so I will introduce how to identify songs that can display lyrics.
Display a list of songs in playlists and albums.
Only this.
If "LYRICS" is displayed, the lyrics of the song can be displayed. In the example of the image below, Masaharu Fukuyama's "HELLO" cannot display the lyrics.
If you want to display the lyrics, check if the lyrics display is supported like this.
You are in offline playback mode
With Amazon Music, offline playback is possible when you want to reduce the amount of data communication, but lyrics cannot be displayed in offline playback mode. If you are playing offline, you can display the lyrics by canceling it.
Internet connection is not established
The key to viewing Amazon Music lyrics is whether you are connected to the internet. If the Wi-Fi or internet connection is unstable, the lyrics may not be displayed.
Follow the steps below to check that there is no problem with your Internet connection.
- Check if the internet is available by searching the internet
- If you can't connect, reconnect Wi-Fi or mobile communication
- Restart Amazon Music
- Restart your smartphone
You may be in airplane mode by mistake, so please check that as well.
Streaming setting is only when connected to Wi-Fi
In the Amazon Music app, it is possible to set streaming only when connected to Wi-Fi, but if this setting is left as it is, lyrics cannot be displayed when not connected to Wi-Fi.
If you want to display the lyrics when you are not connected to Wi-Fi, follow the steps below to change the settings.
1. On the home screen, tap the gear mark on the upper right.
2. Tap Settings.
3. Tap Streaming Settings.
4. If "Stream only when connected to Wi-Fi" is ON, turn it off.
5. When it turns off, the setting is complete.
Now you can play the lyrics even when you are not connected to Wi-Fi, so you can also display the lyrics. If you have set this setting to reduce the amount of data communication, please note that turning it off will cause streaming playback even when not connected to Wi-Fi, which will increase the consumption of data communication.
Device (terminal) that can display lyrics
Finally, I would like to introduce a device that can display lyrics on Amazon Music.
You can display lyrics on Amazon Music with the above devices.

So far, I have explained how to display lyrics on Amazon Music and what to do when they are not displayed.
