CHALLENGES FACED

• Originally used Spotify, but ran into technical issues (requires Spotify login always) → changed to Soundcloud
• Originally used Echonest, but requires special approval from Lyricfind sales team → changed to Musixmatch
• Needed to ensure that enough content existed for each artist and track across ALL APIs (audio, lyrics, GIFs)

• LRC files (timed lyrics) - no API provides them for free → reverted to static lyrics
• Static lyrics - not 100% available for free → stuck with the free 30% anyway
• Songs on Soundcloud - not official, mostly covers, multiple versions
