Thanks for adding to this discussion especially around PlexAmp as there really isn't too much out there. I've been using PlexAmp for about a year now as a daily music player and someone else in tech who uses it all the time was telling me something similar about this whole lyrics situation which is why they just got Spotify to save the clicks.

I really miss this feature from when I was using Amazon Music before but I could never really figure it out so just learnt to live without but TIL that it's not just me and them setting it up wrong to begin with. I use the Android Player and Desktop app on my MacBook and as part of the Plex Pass I'm happy enough.

Can I ask if you or anyone else have tried any other players for it as my buddy who uses the Jellyfin (FinAmp) version of this for iPhone seems to have a lot more of a feature set than me?

FinAmp is pretty bad, the UI is an example of design by committee of developers. There’s a “new UI” beta version that’s been going on since 2022, you can get it via TestFlight. But that new version is even worse.
That's for the explanation from a Jellyfin user. It's really appreciated. I'll pass that on and let them know as they are still playing around with different apps but that has been their daily driver for about 6 months now I think
