When in the last WWDC Apple presented iOS 10, he told us about 10 of his interesting news and the new Apple Music, there was a moment when they mentioned the song lyrics, so we all thought that they would be available without users having to do anything. When I tried iOS 10 and saw that the lyrics were only available if I had previously added them in iTunes, my disappointment could not be greater. Luckily, it looks like they will be available in the future.
Apple is seeking a team of lyrics editors, consisting of a boss and several editors at his command, and everything seems to indicate that his work is related to the function of the Apple Music lyrics of iOS 10 that they presented to us at the last WWDC. The job proposal specifically looks for people who «maintain the best user experience on the content »of the lyrics.
Song lyrics coming to Apple Music
We are looking for a boss to lead a team of lyrics editors with excellent writing skills, knowledge of music, and attention to detail. Passion for technology and a desire to question current workflows with the idea of improving tools and processes. General understanding, love and, ideally, experience writing lyrics.
For publisher positions, Apple is looking for people who can write in Italian, Portuguese, Chinese, German and Spanish. Another thing that is sought is to transcribe letters accurately and quickly.
Until iOS 9, if we want to read the lyrics of the songs that we do not have stored locally and we have not added the lyrics from iTunes we have to use a widget like Musixmatch, but it seems that in iOS 10 we can do the same by just opening the mini-player and sliding down. I look forward to this show with open arms. Hopefully it doesn't take too long.
