Describe the Bug

Musixmatch lyrics are not working anymore. When Cider sends the request mxm returns a HTTP 301. I checked with another app developed by me and the mxm API is working fine.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Search for a song without official Apple Music Lyrics but with mxm lyrics (you can try with "Cringe", by Yans, Fulgur & Kunai)
2. Play the song
3. Open the lyrics tab

We are aware of this, this is an issue with the API on Musixmatch's end. We did make a post about this on X. We cannot say when the lyrics will be back, I'll pin this issue for now.
