They also sell a mic accessory if you’re really into it. The AirPlay feature can convert your phone into a karaoke machine. All in all, musiXmatch is a great-looking app to have if you care about lyrics. It will even pull up lyrics of identified songs. Then there’s the MusicID feature (powered by Gracenote) that offers unlimited Track ID. If you can’t remember the song title, it can be found by typing in a few words of the lyrics. Lastly, you can also look up lyrics to songs that aren’t in your library. The “Live Pass” costs $2 a day which again isn’t too steep to pay if you’re having a night of karaoke planned with your friends! But if you’re planning on using this feature regularly, you’ll have to opt for weekly or monthly “Live Passes”. Fair enough if you ask me, but the ‘vocals removal’ feature only works for a couple of songs at a time even if you’ve paid for the subscription.

While the app is free to download, to remove the ads at the bottom and get this AirPlay feature costs a little less than five dollars a year.
The caveat comes with the recurring costs. That’s right, when you have a bunch of friends over and want to do some karaoke, musiXmatch will stream wirelessly to your television using an Apple TV, showing the lyrics and artist cover photos across the big screen. The masterstroke of this app is in its AirPlay feature. You need to have a headset connected though this feature won’t work on your iOS device’s speakers. But it’s a workable option if you want to sing to your favourite tracks without the vocalist overpowering your voice. Also, the quality of the audio is hampered because of this feature. It doesn’t entirely clean the track of its vocals I could hear a faint echo in some tracks while it failed to remove some high-pitch audio in between some Daft Punk songs.
It takes a few seconds to process and shows you graphically when the vocals come in, sort of like a cue if you’re not too familiar with the song. So, what if you want to sing along too? musiXmatch has a ‘vocals removal’ feature. I mostly listen to mainstream stuff, so it was able to fetch lyrics for most of my library. They claim to have 7 million song lyrics in 32 languages. Lyrics syncing worked well most of the time. It also helps you discover more music from that artist, shows similar artists, all of which eventually takes you to the iTunes store. There’s a one-click button to favourite a song which puts it in the favourites list. The photo covers the entire screen and you can see more if you flip the device in landscape. Click a song and it takes about a second or two longer for the app to fetch the lyrics and artist photo. The first screen you see is your music library. The app uses a tried and tested combination of white, grey and orange across their interface.

There are Windows and Mac apps too, but today I’ll be focusing on the iOS version. MusiXmatch is available for a variety of platforms including iOS, Android, Windows Phone (phone and tablet optimised for all). I was delighted to know of an app that not only did the lyrics bit, but looked darn good while at it!
Recently, Mikhail came across musiXmatch, which was part of Federico Viticci’s Must-Have iPhone Apps of 2013. Though the app wasn’t oozing with beauty, it did this one thing right for me - pull out lyrics over the internet for the song that was playing, with a karaoke-like auto scrolling mechanism. I for one was very saddened to hear the news. You may be aware of an app called Tunewiki that shut down citing lack of sufficient ad revenues to sustain their business. In Android, iPad, iPhone, Windows, Windows Phone musiXmatch Makes You Want to Sing to Your Favourite Tracks
