2// One line above the prompt: the track and artist, a progress bar, the time, and the
3// lyric line being sung (synced lyrics from LRCLIB, fetched once per track). Paused, the
4// line dims; Spotify closed, it goes away. The mod never opens Spotify itself.
5// ⏮ ⏸ ⏭ at the end of the line are buttons: click them, or ctrl+x tab to the band and
6// press b, p or n. /music, /music next and /music prev do the same from the prompt.
