Song lyrics: confusing music lovers since the beginning of time. Whether you're among the hordes of lyrically challenged susceptible to such doozies as “I’m a lion, I’m a vinyl, I’m a skittle, I’m a beetle,” in the chorus of Smells Like Teen Spirit, and want to get it right (it's “A mulatto, an albino, a mosquito, my libido,” people), or you like to read while you listen or sing along, then you'll be happy to hear that Spotify's lyrics feature can help you do both.
Accessing the lyrics to your favorite songs on Spotify can be done on your mobile devices and on the Spotify desktop app, and it couldn't be easier to do. We're going to show you how.
Accessing the lyrics to songs you're playing on Spotify can be easily done in the Spotify app on an iOS or Android device.
Step 1: Choose a song, and when it starts playing, tap the Now Playing where the song appears at the bottom of the app's screen.
Step 2: Here, you can either tap the lyrics at the bottom of the screen (note: not all songs have lyrics) or swipe to bring them up.
Step 3: By tapping the lyrics tab, the lyrics will expand to its fullscreen mode. As the song plays, the lyrics will highlight as they are being sung.
Accessing the lyrics to songs on Spotify's desktop app (Mac and Windows) is just as easy, making it possible for you to see the words much larger on your computer screen, which could come in handy for group singalongs or karaoke. Here's how.
Step 1: With the desktop app open select a song. It will appear in the Now Playing queue.
Step 2: In the bottom right corner, select the Lyrics icon — it looks like a tiny microphone.
Step 3: The lyrics to your selected song will appear on screen in all their glory. Like the mobile app, the words are synced up with the playing song so you can belt out Livin' on a Prayer correctly, for once. It's "It doesn’t make a difference if we make it or not,” NOT “It doesn’t make a difference if we’re naked or not.”
Instagram is making its way to yet another screen, and this time, Apple TV is getting a taste of the Reels rabbit hole. The company has launched a dedicated Instagram app for Apple TV, bringing Reels, longer videos, and live shows to the big screen. So, if watching one quick clip on a phone somehow turns into an hour of scrolling, there's now a much larger screen for that.

Audio-Technica, a brand well known for making some of the best studio and professional headphones on the market, has just come out with the ATH-AWX7000, which the company itself claims to be its "finest headphones ever." The new flagship closed-back headphone has debuted at an eye-watering price of $3,799. It combines hand-finished Japanese woodwork with a newly developed 58mm driver.
The earcups are made from Kiso cypress, a prized wood historically used for Shinto shrines and Buddhist temples. Each housing is finished by hand with traditional Echizen lacquer, which brings out the grain and is expected to darken over time. The frame and sliders are finished in a deep navy kachi-iro shade traditionally associated with samurai.
