Just a random thought that I had: what if there were a federated, Open-source, lyrics platform—something open and community-driven, where users could submit, edit, and annotate song lyrics, similar to how Mastodon or PeerTube works for social and video content?

In theory, it could even offer an API that centralized music platforms (Spotify, TIDAL, Deezer, Qobuz, etc.) might choose to tap into. Think of it as a libre lyrics backend with federation support.

I’d absolutely love to see or even contribute to something like this, but I don’t currently have the skills or energy to pull it off myself. Has anyone explored this idea before?

There is https://lrclib.net/

They have at least a Plugin for Jellyfin. It's not federated but matches the spirit quite well I believe. The whole database dump is just 12GB anyway.
