Liqoria 1.5: Synced Apple Music Lyrics, Apple Music Queue Enhancements, and Massive Performance Improvements

We're excited to introduce Liqoria 1.5, one of the biggest updates yet for our Liquid Glass music player on Mac

This release brings a completely redesigned lyrics experience, support for synced Apple Music lyrics, a faster and smarter Apple Music queue, and some of the largest performance optimizations we've ever shipped.

Beautiful New Lyrics Experience

Lyrics have become one of the most-loved features in Liqoria, so we rebuilt the entire experience from the ground up.

Synced Apple Music Lyrics

Liqoria 1.5 now supports live synced Apple Music lyrics, allowing lyrics to follow your music in real time.

Even better, if you have an active Apple Music subscription, synced lyrics can also work while listening through Spotify, bringing the best lyrics experience to multiple streaming services while also giving Spotify users their own dedicated Spotify Widget for Mac.

Background Vocals Support

For songs that include additional vocal tracks, Liqoria can now display background vocal lyrics, making it easier than ever to follow every part of your favorite songs.

Song Credits at the End of Lyrics

Want to know who wrote, produced, or contributed to a track? Liqoria now displays song credits directly at the end of supported lyrics.

Redesigned Lyrics Interface

The entire lyrics view has been redesigned to be cleaner, smoother, and more immersive, while remaining consistent with Liqoria's Liquid Glass aesthetic.

A new close button also makes it easier to quickly return to your music.

Faster Apple Music Queue Management

Managing your listening session is now easier than ever.

The Apple Music queue has received major improvements, including a smarter queue algorithm and the ability to instantly play any queued song by simply double-clicking it.

Whether you're building playlists, discovering albums, or controlling playback from your Mac, queue navigation feels significantly faster and more responsive.

Massive Performance Improvements

Liqoria 1.5 isn't just about new features—it's also one of our most optimized releases.

Lyrics Engine Optimizations

We've significantly reduced CPU usage throughout the lyrics system, resulting in:

• Lower processor usage

• Better battery life

• Smoother lyric scrolling

• Faster synchronization accuracy

The new lyrics engine is dramatically more efficient while maintaining precise timing for synced lyrics.

Our all-new Live Wave Spectrum FFT has been rebuilt with a focus on both accuracy and efficiency.

The result is a more beautiful visualization experience with less impact on your Mac.
