For quite some time, I noticed that a lot of the providers were broken. So I made an attempt to fix some of them. I also removed those for which the website was clearly defunct or down. Since all previous defaults were broken I set genius as default now, because I didn't know a better option.

Please note that I used Claude Opus 5 to implement these changes. I did try to check the changes as best as I can, but I don't know c++ too well, so feedback is appreciated.

Providers that I checked and fixed explicitely:

  • genius.com (which was my main focus)
  • lyricsmania.com
  • lyricsmode.com
  • musixmatch.com
  • songlyrics.com

Ones that I checked and were working already:

  • letras.mus.br

Still broken. I didn't try to fix, but at least the service is still up:

  • azlyrics.com - prohibit extraction, it was already noted in lyrics_providers.xml
  • lyriki.com - nothing happened, no idea why

No idea:

  • lololyrics.com - couldn't find any song that I have and they have lyrics for
  • lyrics.com - I think cantata's side is working, but their side is partially broken. Gives me "No lyrics found" even when searching on the website

The other ones I didn't really try out, because they offered mostly regional stuff.

Edit: I noticed I still had an older email address configured. Fixed that and recommitted all with the proper one. Code is identical.
