View lyrics when offline

Currently we need to go online to view lyrics for a song. It'd be really convenient if lyrics are available offline.

Being near the internet allows the user to look up lyrics regardless, so it would be greatly beneficial to be able to download a playlist with lyrics included..

Y'know, for when you don't have the option to google lyrics..

THIS, I am almost sold to deezer and this feature would be a KILLER for all other services for me, it is very important to me and been bouncing from service to service looking for it, but none has had the braveness to implement it yet

The lyrics feature is linked to a third part company (Lyricfind), therefore it has to be connected to the internet :)

Text files are only a couple kB large. I understand that the lyrics are provided from a third party source, but is there no way to download those as text when saving a song, or would that cause licensing issues.

Or, add a way to download the lyrics with the song, and a toggle too.

And couldn't the licensing issues be solved in the same way the licensing is solved for the music downloads. 

Like the music tracks, the lyrics would only be viewable only via the Deezer app, meaning nicely controlled.

Seems entirely workable. If could be a nice differentiator for Deezer.

Hi there, sorry for the ver late reply. We are currently going through all your ideas, thanks for that.

Your idea has been noted, get other users to vote for it for a better chance to have it implemented 😉

How many votes do you usually need to a close look at something like this.

Unfortunately, many really cool ideas on this forum have been waiting for their turn for years...

It would be great if Deezer could make the offline lyrics feature available to all users. Currently, lyrics are unavailable when offline, and having the ability to view lyrics without an internet connection would enhance the listening experience, especially when traveling or in places with no Wi-Fi. This simple feature would be a great addition for Deezer users who love to sing along or better understand their favorite songs!
