Lyrics fetching fails time to time #24

Greetings.

I've tried to use your app and time to time it fails to fetch lyrics because of google human verification failure, log attached.

Actually, googling from an app without using Google paid API is prohibited. Have you considered using some lyrics API instead? I tried to google this subject and found out that most of them also non-free, but genius.com API seems to be a solution.

Searching on Google means I don't have to worry about typos or incomplete tags. For example, some tags with featuring artists might have feat or ft. in them. It the song has multiple artists, it might or might not contain a '('. Stuff like this is why I search on Google.

I've been using Lyrically for over a month and that error only occurs if Google detects an abnormal amount of requests in a short period of time. I've downloaded lyrics for some 200 songs using the Google search method and I didn't get the abnormal traffic message.

Were you switching through songs very quickly? I agree this can be a problem sometimes. I'll let you know if I can find a solution.
