Sometimes the scrolling doesn't quite keep up with the pace of the song. In these cases, it would be helpful to allow the user to scroll to the point in the song that's relevant.

This is technically possible but it looks like the autoscrolling is going to an absolute percentage of the page based on the progress of the song, which essentially nullifies the user's scrolling after a second or two.

Potential solutions

There isn't a perfect solution to this (without extensive work) but the following could help:

• Scroll relative to the current page's scroll position. This would allow the user to scroll to catch up to where the lyrics actually are and then the (dumb) autoscroller just attempts to scroll from that point in the song.
• Add some buffer to the start of each song before you begin autoscroll to account for some intro time. You never know if a song has an intro before the lyrics start or how long that would be but a short buffer could be safe and helpful.
• Add padding at the end of the song so autoscroll gets to the end of the page several seconds before the end of the song. If you're at the bottom of the page, you should still be able to see the previous 10-20 lines of lyrics so you're safe to be sitting at the bottom for a certain period of time.

Hey. I really like your app. But I beg you to add the ability to rewind, by clicking on the playback bar (as it works in any player) and pause button. Just, you know, it's a little inconvenient when I listening a song with lyrics, want to rewind, and I have to open Spotify and then go back....
