I just found out about this site today while searching for an English translation of a song I like, and I absolutely love it. Since it's my first day around, I have lots of things that I have no idea how to do/what they do, but I think I'll find things out eventually. One issue though; I know this feature is added with good intentions, but it bugs me a LOT. So, there's this song that I was lazy to translate myself so I looked up its English translation, and found one on Musixmatch. The thing is, NOT A SINGLE ONE OF THE SENTENCES WAS TRANSLATED RIGHT. So, like the perfectionist person I am, I signed up just to correct that song, and guess what I found when I tried to correct it? That it's locked because someone with a higher rank than me edited it. Why? They translated it so horribly that even Google Translate would do a better job. I just wanted to correct it, but no, because they're higher ranked. This irked me a lot, so I moved on to translate a couple other songs to get it out of my head; but each time I see those disgustingly incorrect translations, I get irritated again. Please, either have someone with a better understanding of the language fix that or let me do it. I have ADHD and literally cannot stop thinking about it. (Song name in question: "Sarı Kurdeleler" by Model)
It's fun. The academy, videos, lyrics. The combination is genius..
Free option sucks, p2w ahh site 😭🙏🏼
you have to do id verification or PICK A PLAN JUST to upload lyrics but they said it was free 😭
Like if they have a data breach everyone’s ID is so cooked, don’t use. W LyricFind.

30 days to wait for submitting my lyrics is too long

I am so happy I get to share my love for music by adding, editing, and syncing the lyrics to the music!
Musixmatch is violating my rights, and I will report this incident to all relevant authorities. I am also considering filing a civil complaint due to discrimination. My artist account was blocked without any valid reason, and I feel discriminated against. All I did was edit my own lyrics. Using such methods is unacceptable, especially since Italy is part of the EU. Please read this email carefully:
Dear Musixmatch,
I am writing to draw your attention to a serious violation of applicable EU law, specifically the EU E-Commerce Directive, as well as the German Digital Services Act (Digital Services Act – DDG) and the legal requirement to provide an Impressum.
Under Article 5 of the EU E-Commerce Directive and §5 DDG, online service providers are required to offer a means of fast, direct, and effective communication.
The email addresses listed on your website footer and within your Terms of Service and Privacy Policy are demonstrably non-functional or remain unanswered, which constitutes a breach of these legal obligations.
I hereby request that you remedy this issue immediately by providing a fully functional email address or a contact form that enables real and effective communication.
If this violation is not resolved within a reasonable period (e.g., 5 business days), I will be compelled to notify the relevant German supervisory authorities, in particular:
The German Centre for Protection Against Unfair Competition (Wettbewerbszentrale)
The competent State Media Authority (Landesmedienanstalt)
The Italian Data Protection Authority (Garante per la protezione dei dati personali)
The European Consumer Centre (ECC Network)
I expect your response and the prompt correction of this deficiency.

How the application is developed and smooth to use it
I like what you did and it increased my visibility also thank you
Musixmatch does the thing of the lyrics so easy and so good in the music apps like Apple Music or Spotify, the interface is comfortable and good to go, i like it
it was great for me to do lyrics and for me to do something productive.
It does its job and it's very easy to use. I finally can see my lyrics on Spotify!! I already recommend to my artist friends
I had a delay in deploying sync to one of our GrooveLAB tunes, only lyrics arrived on Spotify. One message to staff, and few hours later it was a fix. It’s really cool to finally see the words move with the sound of your own music. Our Magic ❤️
The lady at Musixmatch’s customer support has been extremely helpful and kind (answering all my queries and kindly investigating my lyrics for me), and I’ve so far found them a really good group of people to deal with!
Update – 4 December 2025
Further proof that Musixmatch’s system is broken:
I replied to Dani on Nov 28 at 10:09 AM.
On Dec 3 at 1:58 PM, Trustpilot notified me that Musixmatch edited the reply and claimed I “hadn’t replied” — which is false.
At 2:33 PM, Musixmatch emailed me referencing my 3 December review update. I then sent three replies (Dec 3 at 2:35 PM, 2:36 PM, and 2:42 PM) including a PDF of the entire email thread. I still received no reply.
Either my email was blocked or their internal system is malfunctioning — again.
At this stage:
• My dashboard does not load
• My catalog remains broken and releases missing from my profile
• I cannot add or edit lyrics even as the copyright holder and publisher
• Their ingestion errors remain unresolved
• Their communication loop is contradictory and unreliable
Based on my experience, I now recommend artists look for alternatives, because the problems are escalating, not improving. Dani from support seems willing to help, but he is clearly limited by internal policies and a platform that refuses to fix itself.
Update – 3 December 2025
Musixmatch claiming I “did not reply” is shameful when I did reply and they simply did not respond.
Update – 26 November 2025
Immediately after posting my review, Musixmatch triggered a Trustpilot “More details needed” request — a tactic commonly used by companies attempting to suppress negative reviews.
The form included:
• My email already pre-filled
• No field to describe the issue
• A mandatory “Full Name” field they already have
• A “Reference Number” I cannot provide because they never issued one
• An unnecessary phone number request
Musixmatch already has my full account history, metadata, emails, and profile information. None of these extra steps were required to “verify” anything. It’s simply another barrier to silence criticism.
They spend more time disputing reviews than fixing their ingestion system — which is the source of the problem.
Original Review – 25 November 2025
Musixmatch has become one of the most dysfunctional, careless, and misleading platforms in the music industry. They provide lyrics for Spotify, Apple Music, Amazon, Instagram, and more — yet their own ingestion system is completely unreliable.
My catalog is correct everywhere else (confirmed by Spotify, Apple, and my distributor).
Musixmatch is the only platform where everything is broken.
System Failures:
• Entire releases missing
• ISRCs incorrectly mixed
• Tracks merged across releases
• Primary artists becoming “featured” at random
• Dashboard showing only old releases
• New releases not appearing
• Lyrics tools disabled because the system can’t detect songs
• Support taking weeks to answer with copy-paste templates
These are not user errors — they are Musixmatch’s ingestion failures.
Their “solution”?
They told me to take down the release and re-upload it, which is catastrophic for artists:
❌ lost streams
❌ lost playlisting
❌ broken links
❌ destroyed algorithm history
❌ damaged charts
❌ wiped library saves
No competent professional would ever recommend this. It shows a dangerous lack of understanding of digital catalog management.
Meanwhile, they keep pushing paid services:
“Try Musixmatch Pro.”
“Upgrade for more tools.”
Why pay for a platform that cannot load your catalog, show your releases, or read your metadata?
Accountability:
Musixmatch wants to be the central authority for global lyrics, but they refuse to fix fundamental system failures. They break catalogs, give harmful advice, stall communication, and then upsell.
Final Warning to Artists and expectations:
• Missing releases
• Wrong ISRCs
• Broken profiles
• Corrupted metadata
• Endless support loops
• Zero responsibility
• Upselling instead of solutions
Musixmatch must fix its foundation before pretending to offer professional services.
Right now, the platform is unstable, unreliable, and harmful to artists.

It's super paranoid about robots and gives 400 CAPTCHAS and does not let anyone edit the songs and most of the time, only 3 songs of the album are transcribed
