How does that works ?
The program takes the current song using two ways, depending on the OS. If it runs on Linux, it will create a LinuxMediaProvider which uses MPRIS (through dbus-next) to get infos, while on Windows it uses a WindowsMediaProvider that uses winsdk to get infos. If the song changed, it sends a request to LRCLib to get the lyrics and display them !
