Expected Behavior vs Actual Behavior

Expected: when running spotdl with --lyrics genius musixmatch azlyrics at least one of the providers should work. None of them does. I've even tried it with my own genius api. Only synced works, but I prefer the regular providers.

Steps to reproduce - Ensure to include actual links!

Download any song using spotdl [song] --lyrics genius musixmatch azlyrics
The song does have a lyrics on Genius.com: https://genius.com/Warbly-jets-alive-lyrics

Other details

The synced option uses a python library called syncedlyrics which itself uses musixmatch, lrclib, netease, megalobiz, genius. That means the other options should be removed, or fixed.

It seems that the site structure changed. The scrapper broke. I have made a simple fix that worked locally. I made a quick fix PR if needed

[AdyStudios]

Thanks! I've added that to my fork

The fix is working, but it embeds incomplete lyrics. I’ve tested it with different songs, and the issue persists. Is anyone else experiencing this?

[AdyStudios]

Yeah actually, I've just checked, it does cut it off.
