Not long ago, Spotify announced that accounts without a Premium subscription won't be able to use applications even in developer mode. Now, this requirement- along with previous inability to create new apps- came into force, and usage of LyricsStatus is pretty much useless for users without Premium.
There are not many solutions available, and most of them come with risks, like the one that hijacks Spotify's internal web API and can lead to account bans. I'm not sure what to do in the current situation, as there aren't any known music platforms that allow using their API alongside providing usable playback state retrieval. It's the third time Spotify has implemented another flaw aimed at its users without any actual reasons except for money.
I'm creating this issue for the possibility of sharing developer app credentials for users who have the subscription. Anyone willing to help others can share their Discord here and later provide client credentials for the ones in need.
Keep in mind that sharing credentials is not enough alone; adding user accounts to your developer app is necessary in order for that person to be able to use them in LyricsStatus, which requires the person account's email.
