## After Spotify's update, running `spicetify apply` or `spicetify update` breaks Spotify.

After any Spotify update, always run `spicetify backup apply`.
Optionally, make Spotify shortcut to run `spicetify auto` (instead of direct path to spotify executable), so that Spicetify can backup and apply, when it needs to, then launch Spotify automatically.

## Sometimes **Popup Lyrics** and/or **Lyrics Plus** seem to not work

This problem happens in the extension [Popup Lyrics](https://github.com/spicetify/spicetify-cli/wiki/Extensions#pop-up-lyrics) and custom app [Lyrics Plus](https://github.com/spicetify/spicetify-cli/wiki/Custom-Apps#lyrics-plus) mostly because your MusicXMatch token has been flagged for doing too many requests. This can be fixed by just waiting without skipping songs too much, however, if it is still a problem for you, all you need to do is to install the Musixmatch official app, which is also web based app as Spotify.
