[Feature Request]: "Guess" Genius lyrics from song & artist name #2256

Closed Reycko closed 1 month ago

Preflight Checklist

[X] I use the latest version of YouTube Music (Application).
[X] I have searched the issue tracker for a feature request that matches the one I want to file, without success.

Problem Description

A lot of songs from the 2000s-2010s don't have any lyrics associated, causing the lyrics page to be inaccessible even if the song has some.

Proposed Solution

Search Genius for the artist's name, followed by the song. example: Getting lyrics for Eminem - Without Me would make a search for "Eminem Without Me". Perhaps a check for making sure the artist is the same and the song name is similar could be useful?

Alternatives Considered

Searching Genius manually on my browser for the song.

Isn't that PR about syncing lyrics though?

Synced lyrics does this and more and this is no longer needed
