Spotify today announced the launch of a new lyrics feature for both its Windows desktop and Xbox console app in addition to the official mobile, smart TV, and PlayStation apps.

The lyrics feature, as you may have guessed, displays song lyrics while a song is playing. Surprisingly, Spotify is making lyrics available to all of its users, both free and paid, in all regions.

The feature appears to be rolling out to users gradually rather than all at once though as, as of the time of this writing, some users still don’t appear to have it on their Windows device or Xbox console.

To check if you have the new lyrics functionality, simply select the microphone icon on the Windows Spotify app or the Lyrics icon on the Xbox Spotify app while a song is playing. Those using an Android or Apple device can swipe up on the screen while listening to a song to see the lyrics.

Radu Tyrsina has been a Windows fan ever since he got his first PC, a Pentium III (a monster at that time). For most of the kids of his age, the Internet was an amazing way to play and communicate with others, but he was deeply impressed by the flow of information and how easily you can find anything on the web. Prior to founding Windows Report, this particular curiosity about digital content enabled him to grow a number of sites that helped hundreds of millions reach faster the answer they're looking for.
