The developer refused to add lyrics support, supporting their point with a response from ChatGPT.

Maybe. Maybe not.

Chatgpt:

"He brings up some points that tap into how legal responsibility is often framed in terms of “user-provided content” in various platforms and tools. Let's break down the key legal and technical considerations involved in displaying user-supplied lyrics files in a music player app like Kew:

#188. Diabolical. The feature was added later anyway, but still.

    Well, I hope you don't mean I was being diabolical as I am just trying to stay out of trouble.

    Lyric support was added as soon as the legal picture cleared.

    How this compare to Winamp?

    It's hard to compare. I really like Winamp and it is one of the players that I respect. kew differs in that it has a library explorer, more importance given to the album cover and a bigger spectrum visualizer. We are still working on visualizations though and were supposed to have cool visualizations this version, but hopefully the next will have them.
