    • ⚠️ NetEase Cloud Music
      • Please install the BetterNCM plugin first. If a downgrade guide pops up after the installation, please follow the guide to complete the downgrade of NetEase Cloud Music (downgrade to 2.10.13);

      • ⚠️ Please note that there is issues with timeline due to plugin issue
    • ⚠️ Kugou Music
      • Please make sure that the Kugou Music setting "Support system playback controls, such as lock screen interface" is turned on
      • No timeline information broadcasted, which means when you change timeline position in Kugou Music, BetterLyrics has no way to detect this change.
      • ⚠️ Please note that there is issues with timeline due to Kugou itself
    • ⚠️ Apple Music
      • Make sure you have set timeline threshold to around 600 ms in settings (Go to "Settings" - "Advanced option" to change), otherwise, the lyrics will be moving forward and afterward constantly.
      • ⚠️ Please note that you need additional settings to stop from seeing shaking lyrics (see FAQ at the end of this document for more information)
