System OS Windows Python Version 3.13 (CPython) Install Source GitHub Install version / commit hash v4.5.0 (also reproduced on latest master) Expected Behavior vs Actual Behavior Expected: The MusixMatch lyrics provider returns lyrics for songs that exist on musixmatch.com. Actual: MusixMatch returns HTTP 403 for every request made by spotdl, so the provider never returns any lyrics. On current master this failure is completely silent — get_results() has no status-code check, so the 403 error page is parsed as HTML, no /lyrics/ links are found, and the provider quietly falls through to returning no results. (#2697 adds a status check that at least surfaces the error in debug logs.) Steps to reproduce - Ensure to include actual links! spotdl download https://open.spotify.com/track/4cOdK2wGLETKBW3PvgPWqT --lyrics musixmatch Observe no lyrics are embedded, with no error reported. Or reproduce the raw failure directly: import requests from spotdl.providers.lyrics.base import LyricsProv

This includes songs that are not on the albums (ie spotdl didn't skip them because they had already downloaded as part of an album). When I tried to download just singles from this artist none were found: spotdl https://open.spotify.com/artist/0cGUm45nv7Z6M6qdXYQGTX --album-type single You might be blocked by YouTube Music.
