Open Spotify and play something. Tap at the bottom of the screen. Under Start a group Session tap START SESSION. Tap INVITE FRIENDS. Here you can: Share with any social or messaging app listed; Choose Copy Link to send your own way; Show them a Spotify code which they can scan to join; Invited listeners can choose to: Listen on their own device. (I'm refering to the mobile app here) When exploring new music I am the type of person to only really play an artist's top songs. I can't help but wonder how many amazing songs I've missed out on simply because they weren't shown on an artist's home page.

Spotify has a pretty good desktop app for Windows 10, but it lacks in one important feature – it does not display music lyrics.
Users have been complaining about the issue for some time, and it appears the company is finally responding.
MSPoweruser reader Alan Laiter has sent us a screenshot where Spotify is teasing “some big improvements to our lyrics feature“, suggesting users stay tuned for updates.

Spotify has actually been testing the feature for about a month, with some screenshots available.
The screenshot suggests the Spotify Desktop app will make a pretty good Karaoke substitute when it finally rolls out.
